The problem is that this still doesn’t account for guys who were full-time relievers but not full-time closers. What I’m currently doing for relievers (and I admit this isn’t perfect) is that any reliever with a closer rating of (6) is akin to a position player with 600 or more At Bats + Walks – they’re both proven full-time guys whose injury duration should be capped at 3. It’s a little lopsided where relievers from the AL could get hurt but those from the NL never will, right? Doesn’t make much sense.

But relievers in DH games who roll the 6-12 against a DH could still get hurt. My problems with it are that, in non-DH games anyhow, modern relievers almost never bat, so the odds of one ever getting injured are pretty much nil anyhow. I’ve thought about using a different chart for relievers but haven’t come up with anything really great yet. What I do is use the standard injury chart for position players and also relievers. If I roll up a 2 game injury for a starting pitcher, what’s the point? He’s got to miss 4 days to rest before his next start anyhow!

#Pop o matic trouble game rules 2015 how to#
Questions arise over how to treat injuries to pitchers. I’ve seen this one come up on the Strat-O-Matic Forums quite a bit. That, to me, should count more than a guy who started the 7th inning, faced four batters in the inning, and then was out of the game before the 8th inning started. That guy warmed up to get ready to pitch the 6th, then he had to rest while his team was at bat, then he had to come back out to get ready and pitch the 7th inning. In other words, if a reliever enters the game with 2 outs in the 6th, strikes a batter out, then starts the 7th, gives up a double, and is pulled from the game, that counts the same as if he had pitched 2 innings. 0.0 – 1.0, 1.1 – 2.0, 2.1 – 3.0, etc.) I go by the number of innings in which they pitched. Rather than going by innings pitched (i.e. I am using one little wrinkle here on top of what the official rules booklet uses to determine rest for relief pitchers. Here are the things that I do a little bit outside the norm.

If I’m playing a PC-based sim, I can’t very well get the source code and build some mods for the game. It’s one of those nice things about still living in the stone age and playing games with cards & dice.

Somebody tracked me down on Twitter and asked if I had any other custom rules that I use when playing Strat-O-Matic.īut then, so does pretty much everybody who plays a tabletop sport simulation.
