JoeRudi26 Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Do you have a recent league standings? Here it is, Pudge. Glad you mentioned it, I had been working on this and set it aside. It doesn't have 'games back' or 'w/l pct.' yet. I may or may not add them in. It's pretty simple. [align=center][/align] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsox Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Man all these extra inning losses must definitely be getting to Lou. EDIT: Oh, this is only a 9-inning affair. I was kinda fooled by the "final 13" in your highlight. BTW, losing these close ball-games must be really tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro23 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Man, the Nationals. Looked like it was a good game JR. Pie looks to be coming around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Yeah, I forgot to change the Final 13 on my template. It was only 9 innings. I'm not sure, but now that you've brought it up, I'm going to go back and see how many 1 run games I've lost. I have to be leading the Majors. There is no doubt that I'm too impatient. I have to learn to take some pitches and focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Man, the Nationals. Looked like it was a good game JR. Pie looks to be coming around. They've got a pretty decent team, on paper at least. Their pitching isn't all that great, but they've got a reliever (Clint Everts) that throws 'submarine style'. I have a hell of a time trying to find his release point. I'm good up until he comes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsox Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I don't know if this will help you or not but one thing I do to be a little patient is that I look for a particular first pitch from the pitcher. For example if there is a left hander on the mound and I have righty up, I always look for a ball on the inside corner for the first pitch. I usually do this if the count is in my favor and stop this if I have 2 strikes on me. As you can see, I usually make the computer throw a lot of pitches that way. Though it could also be because of me modifying the sliders/datafile. Anyway, hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up. :smile: Man, I just got done sweeping the Reds. I almost had a perfect game with Zambrano. TWO outs away!!!! I had to pick my controller up off the floor and grab me a Killian's Irish Red. :smile: Working on the page right now. Will be posted later tonight.

Though it could also be because of me modifying the sliders/datafile. Anyway, hope that helps. Thanks for the input, V. I usually take the first pitch too, no matter what situation I'm in. Sometimes, I'll look for a fastball low and inside on the first pitch, and try to drive it. After that, it's a total guess. There is no pattern as of how they pitch to certain batters. Or at least I haven't seen one. I rarely move my batter in the box, IMO, it only compounds the problem (of guessing) especially with two strikes. But the thing is, if you look around the league, 7-11 hits per game is probably right on target, and not everyone in MLB is hitting .300. So with that said, I'm pretty happy with the sliders I'm using. I have no doubt it's me. As far as the pitch count goes, I realize mine are low. But with experience in messing with the sliders, if I make it too hard to pitch, I either walk a ton of batters, or they drill everything that is considered a 'missed pitch', therefore making other parts of the game unrealistic. I haven't found the answer for that yet, but I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been checking out your page, only saw the end of the Astros series. I'll check in later for details. I'll let you borrow mine from the Pirate's series. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliesphan18 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 It's done with certain filters and lighting effects in Photoshop. It really depends on the pic, it changes each time. Is there any way I can do that in Paint Shop Pro 7? Or don't you know about that program much? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Is there any way I can do that in Paint Shop Pro 7? Or don't you know about that program much? Thanks I'm not sure phils. I have the latest addition of Photoshop, but it should be possible. It's really basic, and it's no secret. For the pic that you're using: Go to Filter - Render - Lighting Effects In The Lighting Effects Box: Style - Default Light Type - Omni Set where you want your light Select OK Go to Edit - Fade Lighting Effects - Choose Overlay in drop down box Use slider for lighter or darker That's basically it. Play around with it until it looks good. And this method doesn't necessarily work for every picture, but it's a start. Hope this helps, and good luck!

Patterson is looking great so far. It's early, but if he continues at this pace, he's stayin'. Like I said, great job on the page, and I'm definately going to stay involved. It's going to be interesting to see how our dynasties pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
