Here's my piece with morale on
I finished my fictional first season 2 days ago. Went 99-63 using smart small ball to finish with the 2nd best record in NL
I win the World Series. Took 5 games in the DS, and 6 game home dramatic finishes in the NLCS and the World Series. The Nats upset the NL 1 seed Reds in 5 games. Toronto beat the Al 1 seed Texas
The NLCS ended in the bottom of the 10th on a base hit, and the World Series on a wild pitch when the Yankees closer came in for the fourth time in five days.
My staff went like this.
The Dodgers
NLDS Game 1, Solis my ace because he was 13-0 at home W
NLDS Game 2, My 3rd pitcher Botterli cause he was 11-3 at home L
NLDS Game 3, My 2 Casillian cause he was 12-4 on the road W
NLDS Game 4, My midseason callup Danny Wilber because my regular season 4 has a near 5 road ERA and his ERA is 3.20 L
NLDS Game 5 Solis undefeated decisions at home, won 1-0
The Nats
NLCS Game 1, Boterril cause Solis was used amd 11-3 at home W
NLCS Game 2, Danny Wilber cause he has lower home ERA than Casillian, 1 hitter to the 9th W
NLCS Game 3, Solis cause he's fully rested and i went up 2-0 without him looking to drop the hammer. L on that one though
NLCS Game 4, the road warrior Casillian all year throwing an 8 inning gem, won 1-0.
NLCS Game 5, Danny Wilber on short rest to save the 2 home bullets at home, lost on a walkoff homer
NLCS Game 6, Jacob Botterill went 10 innings 3 runs. Won 4-3 on a single by Gene Lamere with runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out
The Yanks
Game 1, Solis pitches a complete game gem to win 4-2 in the last start of the year
Game 2, Danny Wilber cause Botterill's not rested and wanted to save the road warrior.
Game 3, The road warrior wins again. The Yanks closer's 1st of a what would be 4 games in 5 days, the road warrior's last start of the year
Game 4, My number 4's only start of the postseason cause no one else i wanted was ready and Botterill's not as good on the road. Got killed 8-2, but made it 8-7 until the Yanks closer kept it from a sweep
Game 5, Danny Wilber on short rest. Took a 7-6 lead to the 8th and wanted to stretch him to 8 but gave up 2 runs. I could have ended it here, but this was his last start of the season. Yanks closer's 3rd game in a row
Game 6, Botterill's last start of the year. went 9 innings, kept him in the game with 2-2 in the ninth only to give it up, but the Yanks closer was so worn out that he walked 2 gave up 2 hits, and just as he might get the game to extras after 2 bases loaded force plays, his first pitch was wild and the Mets win it all.
So all my playoff starters outside of Game 4 of the World Series up 3-0 were based on on who had the best home/away splits of that day. That meant not using my number 2 at home and not using my number 3 on the road all playoffs. They proved the splits they put in the regular season to a tee.
