Playoff Injury Oddity
Just noticed something strange:
In 99T2 I had Brian Giles get injured at the end of the season (even though he had a "0" for an injury number, but that's another story) and he headed into the playoffs still injured for 6 games. I just noticed that the computer manager used him in games 5 as a pinchhitter.
Does that mean that injuries in the playoffs are counted as days, not games ? 1 day for the rest day prior to the series starting,2 days for games 1-2, another rest day and games 3-4 add up to 6 so the he was OK to play in game 5.
Be aware that injured players may be coming back sooner than you thought in the postseason.
