Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

4 injuries in last 5 games, 3 starting fielders out for series against 1st place team in my division. I'm starting to think strat online doesn't like me too much lol.

Scott.

I feel you're pain. Been there done that! I just wish we could have a limited minor league system where you could bring up some players if you really get ravaged by injuries or have a couple of guys go down for 15 games. But that is way, far "out of the box" thinking for SOM.

and now 24hrs later, I won 2 of 3 from the 1st place team, I guess strat likes me again.

Technically it's on us to manage our depth. If you are backing up a 15 game injury risk with with a nickel sub, that's an assumed risk. But hey, we all do it.

That said, I think the PC version of the game allows for some minor leaguers, correct? Granted you set your active roster and so the minor leaguers that are brought up I believe are Ernie Andres-level talents (assuming you are using real life rosters), but it does allow for it.

I hear ya. But I'm really talking about when a whole slew of guys go down at the same time. I've had as many as four starters go gown at the same time for at least a few games. I don't know how you would work it, I'm just throwin' it out there. Back when I used to play higher caps (more than 100 mil) I would occasionally have 27 man rosters and that would help.
And your right the PC version allows you to bring up minor leaguers and even demote players if you want.
