What to clean up

Slow out of the gate
Dropped the lead-off 0-2 — playing from behind all night is harder than it needs to be.
3 sweeps conceded
Donald, Larry, and Rafael got blanked — those are the matches that flip a tight night. Bench depth / pre-match feel matters.
Got caught looking down
Rafael (SL6) dropped to a SL5. Handicap was on our side — that's a win we leave on the table.
