re: Is this season already a success for you, or is more needed?

It's silly to me that there isn't a 4 or 5 day period to allow the championship series to be a reset. If they are the 2 best teams at the end they should be at full strength.

If the brackets were a fair split, then it’s a fair reward for how you perform on your way to qualifying for the championship series.

That said, I agree with you because separate brackets will never be equal & the schedule is staggered to begin with between bracket A vs B.

Playing your way past a loss is hard enough without having to tow that weight into the championship series.

Despite all this it still somehow doesn’t feel terribly unfair & I’m happy with where we are at.

We were loaded but we got some really tough breaks on:
1. Injuries
2. Bracket
3. Nothing our way in game 8

Change any one of those 3 things & we’re sitting pretty. Change two & we are in the driver’s seat.

Change all three & were 3-0 with 50 pitchers left + TCU on deck with a potential opportunity to start Skenes in game 1 of the championship series.

It all comes back to injuries & what that does to your depth in a wacky tournament. Gonna need one or two more Ackenhousen type performances.
