I’ve never believed in the baseball gods. But it’s about the best explanation for this season I’ve seen.

Baseball gods? Meh...

It's called "delusions of grandeur" mixed with a "splash of complacency"

not having an ace like Sims to pitch Friday night really kills the vibe - as the season went on I think that just set the tone for the last few series, and we got into a funk tailspin and could not pull out.

now go see Top Gun 2 and forget about baseball for a while. next year will be much better.

Not having any bullpen was a much bigger deal.

The issues were directly related. Sims as a starter likely means Preston could have been our inning eater out of the pen, and in general there would be less innings to have to give to Tullar / Talley / Fristoe / Tepper / etc. Of course, also losing Simmons and Auger and not having a healthy KC Hunt most of the year made it ten times worse. But I think we still would have challenged for .500 in SEC play just with a healthy Sims and everything else playing out the same way.
