2016 Junior League Championship Series: Game 4, Indians @ Blue Jays
Why being down 3 – 0 in a 7 game Series facing elimination is Bad. First of all you have to win all your remaining games at Home. Then you have to win all the games away, a place where you have demonstrated no ability to do anything except lose. It also brings me one …

2016 Senior League Championship Series: Game 2, Dodgers @ Cubs
