Tuesday, May 22nd

Hello Grinders. We have just one game tonight. I’ll be covering the Playoff Primer on Mondays and Tuesdays while Aaron covers it the rest of the week. Aaron has been doing a great job with his information overload format and giving you the projections, game logs and analysis you all like. I’m going to format my articles slightly different in a way that works better for me (so sorry if you’ve come to love Aaron’s format).

On the days that I’m writing, I’m going to dig deeper in analyzing the previous playoff game(s) and try to get a sense of what the beat writers, coaching staff and players are saying. The playoffs are so dynamic in the sense that teams will make changes to rotations and playing time over the course of a series to adjust for their opponent, that maybe we can pinpoint areas that the team will adjust before it actually happens. Let’s dive in.
