Interestingly enough the manager (me) made two substitutions before that game in order to replace a couple of slumping regulars even though we won the first two games of the series. After that game the manager reinserted the regulars back into the lineup and we have since gone on to take that series 4-1 and now have a 3-0 lead in the World Series. I don't know what the explanations would be but I'd love to be at that post-game press conference.
