16 team playoffs
hmmmm16 team playoffs
oel Sherman of MLB Network reports that ownership has ratified the proposal for expanded playoffs in 2020.
The MLBPA reportedly agreed to the proposal earlier on Thursday, and now it's all but official. The format will expand the playoffs from six teams to 16 in 2020; meaning there will be more teams that make the playoffs this summer than miss. It's also been reported that the added income will go to television networks to help make up for their lost revenue this spring, and that the division winners -- aka the first three seeds -- will get to pick their opponent in a televised selection show. Let's get weird.
This whole year is a giant asterisk, might as well mess around with it. Fine with me.This is bad
Late to the party. Ignore me.Confirmed according to ESPN bottom line.
Meh, I think its fine for this year.
Gives us fans more games too. I need all the action possible
I hate it. Best of 3 is so trash. At this point, just invite every team and turn it into baseball version of March Madness
Best of 3 means some shitty team has to get red hot against a couple aces twice rather than once..or 3 times.
Splits the difference. For 1 year.
Shit baseball is all about winning series, win series you make the playoffs. Win 1 more, you make the top 8.
I want to see a team with a losing record win the World Series.
It's possible, but unlikely. Any sub .500 team that makes it is likely going to climb above .500 just in their run. Because you need 13 wins to win it all.
Or were you OK with a team that starts the playoffs at 29-31 and goes all the way?
I'm okay with the latter.
