I have written a script that will allow for storage of up to 6 lineups (3 vs LHP, 3 vs RHP). The script works in original lineup interface (the one that does not support depth charts). To use:
1. Go to the Lineups page and edit a lineup.
2. A new drop down box and “Save to slot” button will appear below the interface.
3. In the drop down, choose a slot and then click ‘Save to Slot’.
4. You will be prompted to enter a lineup name. Add a name and then click “Ok” and the lineup currently being used will be saved to the slot that was chosen in Step 2.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have made any lineup changes while in the ‘Edit lineups’ page you will need to save the lineup (with the SAVE YOUR LINEUP button) before “saving to a slot”. If you haven’t saved your lineup changes, the lineup that was originally loaded when you visited the lineup editor page will be “saved to a slot” rather than the lineup that you tinkered with.
5. To load a lineup just click the load button and the page will refresh and you’ll see the new lineup showing in the editor. Click the SAVE YOUR LINEUP button for the lineup to take effect for that nights games.
EVERYDAY LINEUPS
On the Front Office page I added a table (below the Injury Report area) which will show a list of “bench” players in the current lineups. I added this table for situations where one might have forgotten to put their starters back in the lineup after they have been injured. Lineups that are stored in “Slot 1″ will be considered the everyday lineups. If a player is listed in the current lineup but is not found in the “slot 1″ lineup that player will appear in the “bench” players table:
TRADES AND ROSTER MOVES
There will be situations where players stored in lineup slots may no longer be on the roster. If this occurs, “Player not on roster” will appear under the name column. If you try to load such a lineup with a player that is missing from the roster the page will just reload the original lineup with no changes made:
I hope you enjoy! The script was written for leagues with the DH rule in effect.

About a year ago SportingNews Strat-o-Matic Online introduced a new “Pitcher prefs” page. This page allows you to set all of your pitcher’s individual settings in one convenient place. Unfortunately, there’s not a “Batter prefs” page at the moment but I learned from Sporting News Member Services that a batter’s preference page is coming.
Until we get a “Batter Prefs” page, I have written a GreaseMonkey script that will show all of your batter’s individual settings on the bottom of the team page. Unlike the “Pitcher prefs” page, though, the “Batter prefs” information that the script produces is read only. GreaseMonkey does not allow changes to be submitted (with a Submit button) so the check boxes generated by the script are just for display purposes (read only). At least you will now be able to see individual settings for all batters on your team on the same page rather than opening each card on the team.
One of the reasons why I wrote this script was to ensure I have the “Don’t steal” setting turned on for all batters that have rolls where they might get picked off. Take J.D. Drew, for example, he has an 8-10 roll where he might be picked off. My understanding of the rules is if I have the “Don’t steal” setting turned on, J.D. Drew has less of a chance of getting picked off.
Another reason to write a script is that it’s a bit tedious to load each individual card to check their individual ratings each day. There might be times where I’m facing an opponent in a hitters ballpark where I don’t want anyone on my team to attempt to steal. In this type of situation I might turn on “don’t steal” for all batters in the starting lineup. If I do this, I’ll likely need to revert back to my previous settings for the next game. Rather than having to remember which players have a pick off roll I wrote the script to warn me (with a red ‘x’ placed next to the check box) when the “Don’t Steal” rating is unchecked for such a player. See below:
I was thinking about adding warnings for some of the other settings but I really rarely use any of these other individual player settings. I could probably have the script add warnings if the “Don’t hit and run” settings is off for players of a certain salary. If I have Albert Pujols on my team, for instance, I probably don’t want him involved in any hit and runs.
Behavior of the script
The script was written in a way that will cause the team page to refresh whenever a player’s individual strategy settings are updated. So, if you update a player’s strategy settings and then refresh the team page (or click on a team page link) you will notice the page refresh a couple times. This is necessary to make sure the “Batter prefs” data reflects the new change that was made.
Please let me know if there’s something you’d like to add to the script.

Update: In the Strat-O-Matic Card Chances 2008 cardset I have added support for the ATG4 cardset so now it works with 2008 and ATG4.
Update 2: The Strat-O-Matic Card Chances 80s cardset now works with the 70s cardset.
Sample image
I have released two new Greasemonkey scripts for Sporting News Stratomatic Online:
Strat-O-Matic Card Chances 2008/ATG4 cardset
Strat-O-Matic Card Chances 80s cardset
These scripts will parse a player’s card and then show an output of the chances a player has on getting on base, hitting a home run, etc. The results also take ballparks effects into consideration. You can also change the default ballpark.
Everyday, these scripts really come in handy for me. Instead of relying on the Ratings Disk or the Player probability tool in the Stratomatic CD-Rom game I have all of the information right there on the same player card page. There’s no need trying to count the how many ballpark diamonds a player has or figuring out the clutch rating. Also, the pitcher cards even have Best Results calculated for you. I hope you enjoy!
To my knowledge the results are 100% accurate. Please let me know if you find any mistakes in the calculations.
For some reason there’s an HTML layout difference between Firefox 2.x and 3.x so I have designed these scripts to work in Firefox 3.x.
I would like to help you experience a way to ‘watch’ Stratomatic Online games unfold in a “GameChannel” type baseball simulation. Now you can sit on the edge of your seat to see what happens to your pitcher with the bases are loaded and two outs. Now you can watch games that feel a little more like Stratomatic face-to-face games.
