That is very likely the case.

Case closed, until we hear differently from "The Oracle" or one of his "Gatekeepers" (as one of the more "interesting" posters around here constantly refers to the moderators who have temporarily lost their powers but may already have gotten them back or soon will have them back ;) :D ).

Are you referring to Eddie Gaedel III? ;)
Re: Introducing actionjackson's Simulation Settings widget/gadget/calculator... thing
I do find it amazing that a man of such small stature can cause such a kerfuffle so many years after his lone legendary plate appearance, but hey we've all got our "little" obsessions don't we? I bet Mr. Veeck didn't fully comprehend the power of what he was unleashing that day. Oh sure, he knew it would be talked about for years to come and seal his place in the history of the game as one of the great promoters, but I don't think he understood the anger that it would elicit on these very forums. I mean people almost came to blows over a f***n midget. :confused:
Re: Introducing actionjackson's Simulation Settings widget/gadget/calculator... thing
You're right, Jackson. Mr Veeck didn't understood right.
Re: Introducing actionjackson's Simulation Settings widget/gadget/calculator... thing
One more thing, the SH's seem a little out of whack too. The RL number in 1969 is 1669 and the sim number is 3136. Have you found this to be typical as well?
Re: Introducing actionjackson's Simulation Settings widget/gadget/calculator... thing
Generally yes, there are too many SH in the sims when compared with RL, but you can't say that across the board because in some years (believe it or not) the sim number comes up short against the RL number. Just curious where you got the 3136 number from? Is it from a 1969 sim you ran? Maybe it's from your Expos dynasty.
I'm currently stalled at 1951 with my settings until @#&%n LG get off their a$$e$ and send me a replacement monitor. :mad: Right now it's one monitor for two computers and the 500 GB hard drive computer understandably takes priority over the 20 GB hard drive computer that I play Mogul on and use Excel on. The faster one uses Open Office which I don't mind for read-only stuff, but I find it tedious for actually doing spreadsheets on. Probably just not used to it. Hope those LG customer service reps are ready for the earful they're gonna get tomorrow. :mad:
By the way love the new Doc avatar. I sure would not want to step in the box against that guy. So mild mannered off the field and yet a fully fledged fire breathing beast on it. I'm sure many a big league hitter has nightmares about facing him. ;)
Re: Introducing actionjackson's Simulation Settings widget/gadget/calculator... thing
Yeah, I'm trying to get my file set up for my expos dynasty (I have most of the prologue writing done and want to get simming). I guess it would make sense for the SH numbers to be quite high in the expansion year since there are more crappy hitters than in past years. Anyways, thanks. This spreadsheet saves me lots of constant tweaking to get realistic numbers.
Re: Introducing actionjackson's Simulation Settings widget/gadget/calculator... thing
Strange thing is I've seen somewhere around 3000 SH when there were 16 teams and you're saying it's happening with 24. You're welcome, I do it because I'm tired of playing "arcade ball" and because I find it doesn't test my patience as much as trying to learn OOTP. ;)
Which spreadsheet are you talking about, if you're talking about 1969? The first ones I did? Or the monster widget? The first ones are gonna require some figuring by you if you're finicky enough to be concerned about IBB, SH, BH (bunt hits), GDP, SB and CS. Looks like you're already doing that though, which is probably better than waiting on LG if you're antsy to get going. Cheers, and glad it's helping to make your games seem more realistic. :)

Re: Introducing actionjackson's Simulation Settings widget/gadget/calculator... thing
I've found an easier way to export the stats. If you use the tools->export, export them in csv Lehman format, and then import them into excel you can get them in a fraction of the time. Still seems to have a problem missing a few players -- the pitching and hitting numbers for hits etc. don't match up, and on the pitching numbers the wins and losses are usually different, but it is close enough for reasonable effects.
Re: Introducing actionjackson's Simulation Settings widget/gadget/calculator... thing
what exactly does this do. sum it up in 2-3 sentences bud.
