This is a good summation. The only thing I would add to bad process is Succession Planning. Specifically our use of our AAA call ups. While we fielded Zimmer and Tapia earlier in the season we had Nathan Lukes languishing in Buffalo. The call up of Moreno was prompted by the Jansen injury. Instead of dumpster diving for fill ins we should take a look at we have. You can say our farm is depleted but then explain Zimmer.
On another note. I find it interesting that before the wildcard series I mentioned that tactics can be all important in a short series. Specifically how the manager deploys his bench. Some poo pooed this. Turns out tactics played no small part in losing the series.
