Last night I managed a solid 1-11 showing across all 4 leagues which, when trying to win games seems significantly harder to do than go 11-1.
Luckily in the 90's my entire division got swept, as did the division leader in the 80's.
There were a few questionable managerial decisions
70's - After blowing a 2-run lead in the 8th RP Eddie Solomon somehow finds his way to the plate (despite other options on the bench). He even manages to draw a walk! With 2-out he gets caught stealing second. It seems the energy expended trying to steal 2nd impacted his pitching as he gave up a leadoff triple in the 9th that would end up being the winning run. Why did he bat? Why did he run?
90's - After 3 pretty good starts Mike Morgan takes the hill for game 2 in the 90's set. With a 3-2 lead heading into the 6th the wheels start to fall off. Morgan gives up a run in the 6th, 7th and 8th innings and the game enters the bottom of the 9th tied at 5. Morgans final line - 8.2ip / 8er / L. Perhaps when a pitcher has given up runs in the 6th, 7th and 8th innings he shouldn't be pitching in the 9th as well?
I post this in fun, and not anger. After losing the first 7 it became sorta comical. I'm not looking for settings suggestions or anything like that. I am interested in some similar managerial peculiarities you've come across thus far in the tournament.
