Nobody likes injuries. I hate 'em. It's true, sometimes you can get through a season relatively unscathed and other times, it feels like your team is under attack by some demonic force. But here's something I'm curious about:
Often when I play, if my team goes into a slump or gets behind 10-0 by the fourth inning of a game, I auto-play the rest of that game, or the rest of a week's worth of games, out of both frustration and also wanting to hurry the team through a rough patch.
Yes, instead of actually coaching my team through the rough patch. Real mature, I know. But stay with me here.
It seems that anytime I auto-play, especially when I do it out of frustration, I get hit by injuries even harder and faster than when I simply grit my teeth and play through the slumps. Has anyone else noticed this?
I swear it happens to me often — so often that I'm now afraid of auto-playing anything. If my starter blows up in the second inning, if volcanoes erupt, the earth cracks open, rivers catch fire and run backwards and my team is down 16-1 in the third inning, I just play through it now. Like any manager in real life. I don't like to do so, but I'm scared that if I resort to auto-play, even for a couple of innings, I'm going to lose a key player for several months.
Hope I didn't make anyone paranoid with this post. But really, this seems to happen to me. Has anyone else experienced this?
