Barry Larkin (A-,A defender) committed 4 errors (at 100% fatigue) in 5 postseason games, including 2 in game 5 that basically cost me the series... He committed 10 errors in 97 regular season games.

I feel your pain. My $70M team got knocked out while losing games of 2-1 and 1-0 . . . . with all 3 of those runs being unearned. True my defense is not A/A but it still sucked.

Thank God the playoff points have been minimized. Of course, my 103 and 99 win teams are 0-2 so far (playing teams with worse records). Overall, my four teams are 3-5.

Do you have 4 teams, or 5? The spreadsheet lists you as having 5 playoff teams.

That’s really sucky...1919 Black Sox scandal comes to mind

I wish I hadn't decided to test the new playoff point structure this year lol -- I went 4/4 in the LDS

I'm dreading the new WS bonus. If an owner loses a WS Game 7 against someone close to them in the standings, that's an 11 point swing.

My 70M, which was the top win pct most of the season and ended up No. 2 overall at 102-60, just lost the last 3 in a row to get knocked out of the division series. Lost the last one 14-0. Painful.

Actually it'd be a 22 point swing, since the losing owner loses out on 11 potential points AND the winning owners gets those 11 points. So (example with random point amounts) instead of you having 611 and me having 589, you have 600 and I have 600

In my Variable league on the other side of the bracket, the 81-win team and the 82-win team both won division series over teams with 98 and 102 wins.

Dang. You dominated that league.

0-3 in playoff series. 2 game 5 losses. 1 team left ($70M) is 1-1 in round 1 (late start- play in games). That team's pitching staff is absolutely shot. Idk how you guys survive with 1300 innings or even less. I had 1350 and I literally have no stamina left.

I managed to keep my $70M pitching staff in good shape but the offense is totally gassed.

My whole 70M staff was 100 going into the playoffs. Starting lineup was all at 95-100. Didn't mean a thing.

I drafted just over 5200 PAs and the offense is ok now after a big time stretch of fatigue in the middle of the season after a couple of 16 inning games and other extra inning games. Most of the offense is 98-99%. Most of my pitchers are throwing at 98% or worse. I consider 98% for hitters as almost 100%. I view 98% for pitchers as pretty gassed.

Nice little 0-3 cycle. Good to know that having stud RP means nothing in the playoffs.
