I hate when people cry about this. Actually makes the race for that division that more compelling. Nuances like this makes the playoffs more interesting

Bullshit. It allows a shit team to advance and takes the two best teams out of the championship series. Nobody wants to see some team from a weak ass division get their asses whooped in the CS. Division race still means home field, unless you are in a weak ass division than - again- who cares. I vote for an exciting CS over a race between two or three average teams playing whoever down the stretch. The race should be to get in and get top seed.

Re: MLB thread

No way I should have to watch the Braves instead of the Giants going forward.

Re: MLB thread

I know you are all about it but if that division series was a 7 game NLCS it would be great for the sport.

Re: MLB thread

Ill tell ya what just seed according to record after all the division races. Division winners still get in but than itbis seeded by record. They will do that eventually.

God damn I'm going to agree with Chico.
Leave this as is. Stop trying to micromanage the game.

The division structure works so you can get underdog teams in the playoffs.
The alternative is to go to an NBA structure and allow the top 4 teams in the playoffs so the Dodgers will get in every year. I'm glad they had to fight to stay in. The Braves have a shot at going to the series!

Re: MLB thread

Punch makes it sound like the Braves finished the season 70-92 and beat a 73 win team in the 1st round.

We won 88 games and beat a 95 win team in the NLDS to make it to the NLCS.

2nd half of the season after making some trades, they went 44-28, .611 winning %, a 99 win pace. And they did it all with missing Acuna. They absolutely deserve to be here.

Re: MLB thread

The only way to make it "fair" would be to eliminate all divisions and both leagues and all teams play every other team the same number of games and the same number of home/away games.

Expand the season to 174 games and every team plays the other 29 teams 6 times, 3 at home, 3 on the road. Top 8 teams make the playoffs based on record.

Then it will be perfectly "fair" and boring as fuck.

Re: MLB thread

I do like the idea of a seven game division series but one of the beauties of baseball is how difficult it is to make the playoffs let alone go far

Nope. I make it sound like they will lose to either of the two best teams in baseball and that Giants vs Dodgers is the premier matchup in mlb this year. The end.

Every sport should be top
Teams by record from each conference and seeded in order. If you are a division winner and miss the cut it is because you stink and beat nobody outside your weak division. At the end of the day it is simple. Win your games. The more you win the better your spot in the playoffs.
Of course the Braves have a shot to go, BUT they were rewarded with an easier matchup than a team with 107 wins was. I know people don’t like change, but fair is fair. Win your freaking games if you want better matchups and home field or court. Ill never stop posting about it until Im heard. Lol

So get rid of leagues and divisions and playoffs. The top 2 teams go directly to the World Series. That ensures you get the "premier" match-up every year.
