Losing games in Extra Frames is always tough. In fact, there were 4 long Extra Inning games yesterday. Just think if you had the Marlins +210 or Orioles +235. Both losing very low scoring affairs by a run in extras.
You said you have been doing this for many years so you know baseball season is quite the grind.
Agree with both your plays today. I believe it to be one of the deepest cards I have seen this season. However, I hate to play too many games as well.
Good luck SP
