This is what I’ve been dealing with for at least a month now. Been stuck in Gold. Every year, I go 20-30 games over .500 early in the season, to only find myself holding on to a playoff spot by the end of the year. The game feels so fragile at times. I’m generally scared to make roster moves due to risk setting off a 5+ game losing streak. This week, I had Winfield struggling, and wanted to replace him with Heilman. I was 46-21 when I made the move, and now I’m 46-28.
What frustrates me the most, is that the ways I lose seem so random. One game I get shut out. The next I blow a 2 run lead in the 9th. The next I give up several runs early, to only fall just short at the end. Rarely am I getting blown out in these games, but how many 1-2 run losses can a team have in a row?
