The Time Device of Self Destruction
What's the worst implosion you've ever seen a team go through to end a season? The Pittsburgh team in my current random debut battled back from an 8 game deficit to tie Baltimore for the division lead with just over 2 !/2 weeks left in the season. Pittsburgh then lost a game to fall one game back before the two teams met for 3 game weekend series. Baltimore swept them in that series and with Pittsburgh now down 4 games, they just kept on losing. Before it was all said and done, they would lose 13 games in a row.
Crazy thing is, they still managed to hold off Seattle by a game to secure homefield advantage in the wildcard series. The win that finally snapped their losing streak proved enough to do that. They also finished with a better record than the Central division leaders Cleveland. Pittsburgh didn't fare any better in the wildcard series, dropping 2 straight to Seattle to lose the series. Vic Willis, is probably in line to win the Cy Young, finishing the season 19-5 for Pittsburgh. Sad thing is, Vic had a chance to be the leagues first 20 game winner, as he was 19-2 at one point. He lost his last 3 decisions down the stretch and took a no decision in game one of the wildcard series as well. Crazy. This is a league that plays only 132 games. The regular season ends the first week of September. Last edited by David Watts; 01-30-2020 at 09:29 AM. |

Vic Willis with 19 wins in a 132 game season is pretty impressive. What year setting are you using for this one? Are you using 5 man rotations?

1974 and since it's a short season I'm using always start highest rested. Stamina is normal, use of relievers is normal and closers is either often or very often(at work and can't remember).
