With my group of 6 viable OF candidates, I left Wynn out of the starting lineup so he would give me a good pinch-running option off the bench late in the game.

Instead, he responded with a 9th-inning game-winning pinch-hit home run.

And that's the one you got a W in.

Yeah, that was a bit of a shocker.

Someone go wake up Lament.

Thank you for having us to your dinner party. The wife and I had a truly nice time.

Hey numbers, WhatIf doesn't offer Antonelli as a starting option for your team. I need you to pick another starter (Bickford, Drysdale, Bunning, Shantz, Raschi, and Lonborg are the options the site allows...Bunning and Shantz don't have enough rest, and Drysdale is available if you want to use one of your two-games-rest starts already) for the second game. I'll post the results for everything else and run that second game later today when I wake up with whoever you pick to start.
