Playoff Frustrations/Semi-Bogus Away Mgr Tactic
My season-ending computer woes have left disconnected with my teams and flow of the games.
2 Playoff-Related Problems: When the season officially ends, maybe a league-wide message on exact start date of playoffs and a reminder to adjust playoff rosters would help (as I failed to do for all my teams and carry 12 pitchers on several playoff teams).
That is my problem but a little reminder would help.
#2) This is bogus and done by a mgr I hold in high regard but something should be done to avoid this.
In my G4 playoff game, I looked at my opponents pitching staff and only 2 starters (both lefties) were ready. The others were tired. When I indicated my pitcher, his lineup came back with one of his tired right hand starters pitching so I started my lefty hitters against the righty. When the game started, his lefty was on the mound so my lineup was totally screwed up and I had some guys like Lofton, Chavez and Stairs in my lineup (defenseless or better put offense-less) against lefties. Now, I aggressively pinch hit and won the game but it leaves a bad taste and it should be prevented. What is the use of home field advantage if you have no clue who the opposition is pitching?
