That's rough.. Discussed this with Fornatale yesterday on ATR (and Tuesday Night on the Night School Contest segment with him and Chamblin). The NHC recognizes the random aspect of the "walk off home run'' but maintains that the leap froggers still needed to be in striking distance to nab top finishes.
Is the lock down/pick and pray format the solution to alleviate the Hail Mary finishes? Or how about the first half of the slate a post time decision with a lock down for the second half?
