Disappointed for sure. Back to the drawing board.

Round 2 was a mixed bag for me. I improved on my awful Round 2 performance last year. I ended the regular season in 2019 with 439 wins, good enough for 24th. I had 496 this year, a 57-game improvement, but I was hoping for more. My model forecast 555 wins, which I knew was unlikely. I finished 59 wins below that, due to several factors: stiff competition in the cage; not drafting enough IP, especially in the 90M; not selecting the 2005 Yankees as my base team in the 70M; drafting errors like not good enough OBP at the top of the order and poor SP I had to use a lot; and poor team management which exacerbated my fatigue problems. Still, a big improvement over last year, and I have two playoff teams instead of one. I'll be back next year, and hopefully make some noise in this tournament and get noticed like d_rock did this year.

I'll add a playoff tab to the standings sheet late tonight

My focus on my bullpens this year pays off via the best record in 1-run games

The "expected win%" column is pretty skewed by mopup pitching. I wish there was an easy way to remove that

d_rock's record in extra inning games is unbelievable

Mostly comes from my 13-1 record from the $120 mil league. My other teams are much more even

Posted by Jtpsops on 11/21/2020 7:52:00 PM (view original):
First time in the cage: 24th
Second time in the cage: 23rd
Third time in the cage: Looks like I'll finish 22nd.

So 21 more trips to the cage and I'll have this thing in the bag.

So, you would be able to answer my question. Is there a T-shirt for coming in 24th?

Playoff standings added, sorry for the delay

Owners still alive:

• ozomatli (3 teams left, clinches by winning 1 WS)
• d_rock97 (3 teams left, needs to win a minimum of 2 WS)
• discodemo (3 teams left, needs to win a minimum of 2 WS)
• jfranco77 (3 teams left, needs to win a minimum of 2 WS)
• mjkrunner (3 teams left, needs to win all 3 WS)
• doctorcc (3 teams left, needs to win all 3 WS)

Lots of LDS Game 5's happening in an hour. A few of the above folks (disco, mjk, doctorcc) could get knocked out

mjkrunner is out, the others are all still alive

d_rock97 and doctorcc have 3 LCS teams. If d_rock97 wins 2 WS he has a decent shot at winning the tournament (assuming I don't also win a WS with one of my remaining two teams)

Can't believe both of my 100 win teams lost

I finish with 874 points — the exact same total as last year's winner, brianjw

Yep - that never happens
