home field disadvantage
I run 4 teams in various PB leagues. All the teams made the playoffs. 3 out of 4 teams were eliminated in round 1 of the playoffs. The combined Lima playoff teams included 2 division winners. One 2nd place team had the 2nd best overall organization record. The real difference was the home field disadvantage. The combined Lima teams lost 11/13 home games!! A staggering run of bad luck (?). I don't understand it, I played my best hitters, used my best pitchers, but got gored by the opponents. Anyhow, 1/4 teams did advance...and by winning 3 road games, and winning 1/3 home games!
Oh well, ours is not to wonder why, ours is to do or...
