Mistakes have been made. It is time to do a deep dive into my mistakes: Why am I making early transfers, and why am I compounding that by taking a (-4) hit? Today's episode is more of a case study in bad decisions and trying to understand the thought process of doubling down on mistakes made early in the season.
