Hey guys. After pondering getting the game for a long time, I finally jumped in about a month ago. I've enjoyed it for the most part, and have figured out a lot of the nuances. However, there's one thing I still can't get past.

I have probably simulated through 20 to 30 seasons now in different franchise restarts. And weirdly, the same thing keeps happening in nearly every season. During the year, I suffer what I would consider to be a normal amount of injuries. Most of them for a week or so, some maybe longer. However, once I get to the middle of September, my pitchers start dropping like flies. I would say in at least 80% of the seasons I sim, I lose at least three important pitchers for the year once I get to the final two weeks of the regular season, meaning I don't have them in the playoffs and get rocked because of it.

In my most recent one, it was outrageous. My #1, #2, and #3 starters, my closer and my setup man were all lost for between two months and twelve months within the span of a week. So despite sitting there with one of the best records in MLB and my division title locked up, I was toast.

Is there a way to combat this? I already hire the best doctor/trainer possible at the start of each franchise. I set common injuries for about a week. Anyone else deal with this?
