Why is it that the crashes always come during the best games?

I just lost a 0-0 pitching duel in the 9th. Jordan Romano was just being pulled in the 9th.

Gone.

So I have decided to end this particular Dynasty.

I play a bunch all at once and a couple of them (this one that started in 2018 and one that started in 2019) are not substantially different, so I am dropping one.

I will sim through the playoffs etc. to find out who wins the World Series and then stop.
