Mysterious Scratched Cornea Eye

hefalumps · 12-29-2003, 04:18 PM

I saw one other post where a guy ran into this exact scenario, so I know it's not just me. But I was wondering if anyone has any idea why this might have happened.

My boy Mark Portugal was gearing up for his next start when I noticed that somehow he'd gotten injured. I check and he's out for a week and a half with a Scratched Cornea Eye. There is absolutely no mention of this in any injury files (nor his own history). And the last game he actually pitched in was over a week ago. He only pitched 4 innings and he suffered no injury.

I found one other post where a guy's pitcher was mysteriously afflicted with a Scratched Cornea Eye as he was about to start his next game. Could this have been an off-field injury? Shouldn't my team doctor at least tell me about it? Is this a bug somewhere in the program?

I'm tempted to edit Portugal and clear the injury, but then I'd feel like I was cheating. Playoffs are in five days. :-(

I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has run into this or knows why this happens.

I've seen a couple of mystery injuries.

I once saw a guy be day-to-day because he got punched out in a bar fight, but it was on the injury report.

It happens somtimes, I always look at it as an error in the reporting and the injury is legitimate.

I had a guy go out for the season without me being notified...I even looked under team news and injury news for the league and my team and nothing was reported on his season ending injury...wierd
