injury advice

[stoneman675]

Hi, I'm a rookie manager and need advice. I have Andre Dawson injured for the next game. I'd like to replace him with Ron LeFlore and bat him leadoff - and then go back to my normal lineup with Dawson in the cleanup spot when he's back in game 2 of tonight's series. How do I make a lineup for just one game to accommodate an injury and then change it back inside of a 3 game series???? thanks in advance

You can only set a line up for LH & RH pitching. You will want to leave Dawson in the line up and let Hal substitute for him. If the other team is starting a LH in game 1 and RH in 2 & 3, you could adjust your line up vs LH. Just beware that the other manager could change who they are pitching.

That completely sucks. That seems to me a glaring weakness. Thanks so much for getting back to me. I hope the strato-gods think up a way to work that out.

Plus... (I've had two players hurt themselves after hitting a line drive out). I mean, come on. How is that possible? I understand everything is a roll of the dice and probalities... but come on... But I'm probably nitpicking too much and should just shut up.

thanks

Bad luck?

Depending how those injuries are unique to your players - you may have had enjoyed all the luck by deciphering the card that you are playing.

:D

The line out max plus injury reading isn't meant to be realistic (ex: guy hits a groundball and pulls a hammy running it out). It's just a statistical probability, a number reading, which Strat often uses to kill two birds with one stone (simulate the lineout DP and the player being unavailable for x-# of games). It IS very useful in determining what card ya got, so take advantage.

As far as LeFlore, game-by-game adjustments might be too much to ask of the system.
