Your Current Injuries
Mathews, Greg, 13 more games

I didn't think this was possible???????

If I recall the board game rules correctly, a * pitcher with less than 200 innings on his card (Mathews has 197 2/3) can be hurt for 15 games. Someone else may want to verify this though.

I had George Winter get hurt for 15 once.

Yep, it does happen. I've had 2 or 3 pitchers go down for 15 games, over the various leagues I've been in. Rare, but possible. :x

I think I had Stigman get hurt for 15 once, only I was kinda happy about it... :lol:

It's the * that's the bother.

Babe Adams 15 gamer is always hanging out there, but I was also unaware that the every 4 day pitchers could go down for 15 as well

Never in all my games and leagues have I seen this......I've had pitchers (both starters and relievers) go down for 15 but NEVER a* pitcher, the most was always 3 games and he was back to take his spot in the rotation....

If you must have 200 IP and the * to eliminate the 15 game risk, the following 4 * pitchers can get hurt for 15 games:

Mathews (as nev unfortunately discovered)
Hurst
Moore
Cox

I'd love to hear someone else verify whether they've had any of these 4 injured for more than 3 games.

But most * pitchers also have 200 innings. So if 200 innings is the cutoff you would never have seen it. You need a guy like Mathews who is both * and less than 200 innings.

Although I have heard that 200 innings is the cutoff and I have heard that 300 innings is the cutoff. Not sure where the reality is since so many of the rules seems to be treated like nationals security secrets. :roll:

Winter's has gone down for me on every team I've had him on , generally 10-15 games .

On one team I had Osinski go down for 15 and the day he came back , Baumgartner went down for 15 . During that stretch Winters went down for 10 . My staff was in shambles and did terrible through that stretch .
