Biggest curse from the baseball Gods in OOTP20?

The Yurpman · 04-05-2019, 08:17 PM

Thus far, what is the worst luck you've been on the end of?

I played the season out as my Red Sox team. Won 103 games and the division. A handful of multiple week long injuries here and there, but nothing major. I get to the playoffs and my luck runs out.

Beat the Yanks 3-1 in the first round, no problem. Next comes the Indians. First game, Chris Sale blows his elbow out, torn UCL, out for a year. Meaning he'll miss all of next season as well. Second game, Price partially tears his UCL, out for 7-8 months, missing most of next season too. Third game, Bogey gets hurt for the remainder of the playoffs and Will Harris is DTD with a moderate throwing injury (I traded for him mid-season). Needless to say, I lose the series 4-1 and I'm now missing my top two SP for the majority of next season.

How about you guys?

Nice, man! Who did you have to beat to win the WS? I finished the year tied for the best record with the Indians, but they led in almost every category from runs scored, HR, runs against, SP ERA, etc. They were a wagon. Even without the injuries I doubt I could have beat them.

it's taken a few years but i've lost with a 140+ win team with only 2 playoff series needed to win a WS in custom playoff format. i think i've even lost in 1st round before with a 130+ win team and only a matter of time and opportunity before a high win team loses in first round. i don't even watch anymore... i get upset. i look back later... LoL. i don't think it'd happen in RL, but maybe... either a 140winteam or that they'd lose for that matter.

6 guys hit the the 60 day DL within 3 weeks of the payoffs...including 3 SP.

I'd say I felt violated...but I still won it all.

Mets fan.

lost Cano with a broken hand during his first AB in the first game.

Yanks in the DS, Angel's? I think in the CS, and swept the Dodgers in the WS.

I start a full play season with the sox this week also and lost Price for the season while he was getting a rehab start in the minors.
