I just bombed out in the first round again, but I can't blame playoff conspiracy or morale. I had three batters and one pitcher with 5-7 day injuries. I chose to keep all but one batter on the roster, thinking that I could squeeze by the wild card team with a short roster.
I didn't count on my manager falling in love with his starters so much that he left them in too long in the first two games. I knew the bullpen was suspect and they lived up to that expectation in game three. Game four saw my 4th starter do the job. Game 5 was a 3-2 loss where we had only 5 hits total and only 1 from the top 4 in the lineup.
We'll have to chalk this one up to the only human in the organization.
