This is SOOOO frustrating!

I don't know why OOTP decided that it would be a good idea for my team to tank in September.

I had a 5 game lead going into the month, and now thanks to a 2-10 start to the month, it's swung the other way.

I even swapped out 3 of my pitchers to try and stop the bleeding to no avail.

Thought I was good defensively, though some of my offence is suspect.

In the last season of the beta I had the third best record in the league and a ~8 game lead or so in my division with around 30 games to go, then lost 17 of 18. Won my next 7 in a row to set up a 4 game series against the team I was then tied with for the division (with both of us 1 game back of the final wild card spot). Won the first two to push the win streak to 9, and then lost the last 2 to push us to a win-or-go-home tiebreaker. Which I lost.

That was after losing the single game wildcard in each of the first two beta seasons. Now this season I had a near .600 win percentage and 8 game lead in my division until I bought Buster Posey to replace my bronze catcher and brought up Manny Machado to take over at third base. Last I checked (at the end of last night), 30 games later, my win percentage was around .545 and I was tied for my division.

My point is, I feel your pain and I hope you can pull it out for the stretch run.

I feel your pain. Lost 15 of 17 to end the season 4 games out. Who the **** hired Gene Mauch to manage my team???

Yeah, one of my teams was in 1st in my division going into July, then went 1-17 to open the month and I never made it back into playoff position. It makes no sense how I could run so awful suddenly.

An 8-20 September not only knocked me out of first place in the AC East, but it also knocked me out of the playoffs by one game!

It didn't matter what pitcher I put in. I didn't win the games I needed to the last couple weeks of the season, and that's why the Bremen Oilers are on the outside looking in.
