This Losing Streak is Deliberate – Laissez-Faire at Work!

Related Topics: Losing Streak

A team that went 92-41 up through September 1st and then suddenly loses 9 games in a row can’t happen unless it is done deliberately. I have been considering this for a few days and I really believe that FAZ and Doc really want this team to peak at the end of the season. They knew the team was good, but they had no idea that they would run off such an incredible streak through September 1st. While not “deliberately” trying to lose, they have did things with the idea of resting certain players and getting other players at bats in situations in which they may have not been effective all year.
