Nolan Arenado Bugged?

Unless I am missing something (totally possible) his card has a bug this year. after 15 games he has missed 8, plus the 3 he was injured in and the next 7 to come. its how he was injured that has me calling foul. on each it was a role of 3-10, which should be a gb to the ss on his card. each of the 3 rolls of 3-10 he's had this year was a foul out with injury. 3 roles of 3-10, 3 foul outs (instead of ground balls), 3 injuries. what is going on here? I saw him dropped in another league by someone else who he was constantly injured for. I chalked it up to bad luck and a 3 injury risk. now I see why he was dropped. anybody else have similar experiences?

3-10 is a foulout/injury vs RH pitchers---1-4 injury vs LH ---find a 3B with a HR on 3-10 vs RH, you will be set.

doh, I knew it was something I was overlooking. will that be an injury every time, or am I just being unlucky on the injury roll?

At minimum it's a rest of game injury, depends on what the d20 roll is on the injury chart.

I wouldn't stress too much about a 10/4 injury card. I and many others have won with one or more such cards. I would suggest, though, you get a backup better than .50 card. Jonathan Schoop or--if you're willing to spend more--Wilmer Flores are solid back-up options.

Actually, the minimum, which happens 10% of the time, is no injury at all -- the guy stays in the game and you never know about it unless you happen to notice it was an injury roll.

With players like Arenado, you almost need to keep a stretcher around full time.

A very general way to look at how many times you will hit a specific roll (injury or otherwise) is just multiple the odds x three.

there are 216 possible rolls---216 x 3 = 648

most full time players will have 648 plate appearances, more at the top of lineup, less at the bottom, but 648 is fairly close to the average (probably a little under average)

the odds of rolling 3-10 are 3/216--or 9/648 so 9 times a year you should roll 3-10, but he will miss games, so 9 is too many.

I think the odds are a player with an 3 injury rating should play about 130 games roughly--- he should have about 7 injuries averaging 4.5 games missed per injury.

That said, I seem to have bad luck with 3 injury ratings, but good luck with 4 injury ratings--In 2012 I couldn't keep Kemp in the lineup (3 injury) but with Ortiz (4 injury) I got over 520 plate appearances out of him with several teams.

Oh no, Steve, you misspelled his name! You know how sensitive he is about that. Oh wait. You really did mean a stretcher.

Note: If the person I'm poking fun at is offended by this attempt at humor, I will delete this post with apologies; I mean it only in fun.

Relax, Coyote. I've never seen a grown man get so worked-up in anxious anticipation of reaction to their silliness. I think it's all quite cute.

So, carry on, kid.
