I've talked to Sebastian and Markus about this, and they've said that on the normal setting, injuries in the game are still lower than real life. We do have data we can base it on, after all.
I find injuries frustrating too, but, like others pointed out, many people probably don't realize how often they happen in real life.
I can only imagine that if the Stroman injury happened in someone's game, they'd be on here ranting about how ridiculous the game is.
Also, I love the beginning of this interview I did with a sports radio guy, Peter Burns, who loves OOTP. He talks about losing Nolan Ryan to a career-ending injury:
