Dead man walkin'

tysok · 11-03-2006, 12:58 AM

Injuries are still a little off, hopefully they'll take a step forward in 2007... but in the mean time here's a little fun....

All of this is the same player:
4/30 strained rib cage muscle, day to day 1-2 weeks
5/10 strained anterior cruciate ligament, day to day 2 months
5/17 herniated disc, day to day 2-3 months
5/18 torn back muscle, day to day 11 months
8/1 fractured ankle, day to day 8-9 months
8/14 ruptured achilles tendon, day to day 8-9 months
8/29 fractured elbow, day to day 8 months
9/17 torn calf muscle, day to day 8 months
9/26 fractured hip, day to day 8 months
10/10 torn hamstring muscle, day to day 7-8 months

So let me see here... right now on 10/31 this guy has a torn hamstring, a torn calf, a torn back muscle, a ruptured achilles, a fractured hip, a fractured elbow, and a fractured ankle. And he played on 10/30, going 3 for 3 with a double and HR to win the World Series for me....

I don't know about you guys... but Cal Ripken and Lou Gehrig suck compared to this iron man.

At some point ya just gotta figure he'd give it up... At some point my doctor really should have said "Ya know, this guy doesn't have a healthy bone left in his body right now". The best I figure is the first injury was under my threshhold and I wasn't alerted and the rest piled up on top... I never got a message that this guy ripped every muscle and fractured every bone in his body. My threshhold is set at 20%... some of those should have been well more than 20%, but who knows.

Obviously he played right through every one of those injuries... it wasn't very good and he will pay the price, dropping from 20/16/12 to 12/9/5... but he did end the season with 577 ABs, .321 AVG, .586 SLG, 41 doubles, 5 triples, and 34 HRs. Not a bad season for a guy who began falling apart in May.

Did you use a custom injury file, or edited it? Looks like it is messy...

No, nothing custom about it.
In that same season my 1B carried a .420 batting average into September... finally finished the year hitting exactly .400 (first time ever in OOTP I've seen a .400 performance)... so I stayed up well past the time I should have gone to bed to see how it'd turn out. I was so tired I didn't think to cut and paste, I typed it all in by hand.

He's clearly being beaten regularly by his wife.

Obviously we're seeing the long term effects of abuse of steroids.

Something is wrong here, it would seem. How can torn muscles and a fractured ankle and hip be day-to-day injuries?

He has a really high pain threshold. Which is good when you're as fragile as an egg.

Hey Twany was a good looking number..... so she was a little rough.

This guy clearly caught whatever Darren Dreforit had.

disposableheros · 11-03-2006, 11:44 AM

how old is this guy?

i recently noted an often injured older fellow in an online league...

Injured d2d for 1 week on 5/6 (Strained hip)
Injured d2d for 2 weeks on 5/15 (Concussion)
Injured d2d for 3 weeks on 5/20 (Strained rib cage)
Injured d2d for 4 weeks on 5/23 (Strained back muscle)

You're right. I hadn't thought that some of those couldn't be day to day injuries. I opened the injuries file and these injuries can NOT be day to day (no DTD%). 6 of them are possibly season enders (makes sense with 8 month injuries) and most are 60-255 days out.
Strained Anterior Cruciate Ligament
Torn Back Muscle
Fractured Ankle
Ruptured Achilles Tendon
Fractured Elbow
Torn Calf Muscle
Fractured Hip
Torn Hamstring Muscle

No wonder this guy had major ability drops, he had 8 serious (6 possible season ending type) injuries in the same season.
He never gained full health back from his strained rib cage muscle (which is listed as 8% DTD), and at some point for the herniated disc which is listed as 30% DTD.
So it left him listed as day to day, though he should have been unable to continue after the anterior cruciate injury (and any of the other 7), and applied the hit to abilities for the injuries. He's sitting at 11% DTD right now.
I'd say that's a bug.

This guy was a 27 year old superstar... he's not a superstar anymore.

Man, this guy must be one tough ball player, either that or he has a kid in each city he's played in and needs the money for child support. Anyway's I would NEVER trade this guy.

1998 Yankees · 11-03-2006, 03:38 PM

tysok, how about manual induction into your HoF for this fellow?

Definately needs some recognition. I'll have to put in a request for a new award or something... to be given to the guy who displayed overwhelming ability to overcome adversity........... I'd say this guys Evil Kenevil impression qualifies.

Markus Heinsohn · 11-04-2006, 03:07 AM

Indeed a bug. Found it, fixed it, all good in 2007
