- | There will be questions in the media about the ODM managers bullpen strategy in game 5 but it appear this is the end of the road for this ODM squad as rumours are swirling that the franchise is moving to a new city and the roster will be blown up. The ODM streak of 6 consecutive playoff appearances has been a good run but the team's inability to get out of the WC round the past two years after winning the IBL Championshp in 2016 has led ownership to question the strategy of winning at all costs by trading future draft picks to support the current squad. | + | There will be questions in the media about the ODM managers bullpen strategy in game 5 but it appear |
