Which is more satisfying for you?
A walk off win or leading early in the game?

Someone suggested I an earlier thread I started be a poll:

Just used this strategy which paid off in game one of the second round of playoffs.

My closer pitched the 6th and 7th innings, down 2 runs.
My next best reliever pitched the 8th, down 2 runs and the 9th down 1 runs.

A solo home run in the ninth followed by 2 doubles ended a walk off win!

If you grab an early lead usually you can get innings from your starter and blow up their bullpen.

Obviously a walk-off is more exciting, but I'd take the early lead every time.
