Seeding Question about MLB Playoffs

[bksballer89]

WC is 4th seed regardless of record

Think that is a stupid rule IMO

Personally I agree. I've got no issue with division winners getting in automatically but they should reseed after the WC game. In 2015 the NL Central had the 3 best teams in the NL and 2 of them played in the WC game and the winner had to play the best team in the NL. Happens frequently where at least 1 WC team has a better record than a division winner

Dodgers may suffer the consequences of this.

Like I said ... OK, Logan Forsythe breaks up the perfect game with a line single to center leading off the sixth. Still, Robbie Ray is already the first pitcher to ever record four 10-strikeout games against the Dodgers in one season. Think they want to face him in the playoffs?

JD Martinez also just became the first player with a 4 homer game in Dodger Stadium history.

It hurts Arizona too honestly . They're going to burn Greinke in the WC game then , even if they done how heat the Dodgers in a series, the series will likely go the limit which puts their rotation in a cluster fir the NLCS compared to whoever comes out of the Nats-Cubs

Meh.

Nats/Cubs will be a tough series as well. No reason to think it won't go 5 as well.

And you propose...

leaving it the way it is..........except, two out of three games for Wild Card playoffs

So you support a stupid system...


O... K....

 

[navamind]

Still waiting...

You said using WL records was stupid.

Obviously, you aren't stupid, so you obviously have a more intelligent system.

Please educate us.

I say settle the postseason with a cage match.

Now THAT is thinking outside the box. I like it.

Death match between the dogs and Snakes. Win-win in my book...

Too bad Kyle Farnsworth is retired.

Not sure there are playoffs limits to coaching staff adds. Maybe Padilla could be added as bullpan coach...

@bigdmgr is needed

YOUR OPINION

 

[calsnowskier]

YOUR OPINION

No. That is YOUR opinion...

If ALL National League teams played the exact same competition and schedule.........we could talk

But they don't.

Seeding, by records only, is stupid.
