Haruki did indeed finish about 12 games ahead of us in the division...but we did qualify as the #4 seed.
In the playoffs, we defeated the Chiswick Big Wigs, 4-2 in a one-game wild card playoff. And then Haruki defeated us in 5 games in the divisional series. The last game was hard-fought ... Keeler tried to lay down a squeeze bunt in the 9th inning to tie the score at 1 but I'm not sure why...their infield was in & the 3rd baseman pounced on it and got the out at home...must've had the slider too far right.
Sometimes I feel like a ... crack-pot? and am happy to have had any (the degree) of success I've had in Perfect Team...and other times I feel like I could be a bit more laid back and careful? and maybe less "hands-on" and I could have won some of these close ones. Easier said than done, though.
