So lost first two games as in the second game when your staarting pitcher got to FO after gving up 3 hits as fatigued in the 9th inning with a one run lead, Ed Farmer was brought in to face Willie Randolph who he waked and then luckily got the switch hitter to hit into a double play ending the inning, but the fatigued Lefty Grove had already given up the game. Robinson got a single at F2 and Ortiz walked at F0
Also apparently for some reason 0.69 Wathan is marked as a defensive sub as he was brought in the top of the 8th with no injury or pinch hitting and he is worse defensively than Kendall and after Brock the leadoff hitter got a single in the bottom of the ninth instead of stealing against the rested Dibble brought in (the difference between Dibble and Ed Farmer is pretty enormous I think) Wathan 0.69 Wathan H&R's down 2 runs. Stealing bases almost every time a leadoff hitter gets on got Frisch out to start two innings but I assume that is the game plan.
So now these next two games are key, must wins on the road. With Dibble probably available for only 1 of the games, but will likely be with the best itcher Newhouser who also has a -2 hold which is limiting success to your best basestealers to 75% even if they get a good lead and 60% most of the time. So I expect to see 3 outs on the basepaths against NewHouser but your hitting should be decent. I forsee a split here but you really can't afford that, so best you take Wathan off as your defensive sub if you have that checked. And you might want to check your staarting pitchers down to don't remove before F8 instead of F0 and set your bullpen to aggressive and all your relief pitchers to quick hookk or your season is going to be over.
