  - Manzoukas is best in small doses. - spamlet Feb 11, 05:52 2
    - I was thinking more like how they used Gina. Always around to be involved in things but not used all that much. - Krusty Feb 11, 05:56 1
      - I think they walk the line with these weird as characters. It's easy to turn a Michael Scott quirk into a Michael Scott dumbass via overexposure. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 11, 05:59
Ok this is spectacular. Astrophotography! -- (link) - Shaun Feb 11, 05:27

MLB proposing pretty massive playoff changes -- (link) - Beaker Feb 11, 04:54 20

  - They basically are with this awful idea. - Krusty Feb 11, 05:42 4
    - MLB should just go full March Madness style. -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 05:46 3
      - They should not -- nm - Krusty Feb 11, 05:47 2
        
        Makes more sense than the top teams picking their wildcard opponent. jfc, that is dumb as hell. -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 05:54 1
        
        Neither makes sense. Both would make the regular season basically meaningless. -- nm - Krusty Feb 11, 05:57
- I’m ok with these so long as they eliminate the regular season too -- nm - JackDawson Feb 11, 05:38 1
  - They basically are with this awful idea -- nm - Krusty Feb 11, 05:39
- No thanks. -- nm - znufrii, human scum Feb 11, 05:28
- more. 14 teams would now make the playoffs, bye for best record in both leagues, best teams pick who they want to play -- (link) - Beaker Feb 11, 05:21 9
  - This is one of the worst ideas Manfred has had. It's not what any baseball fan would want. We don't need more playoff teams though the conspiracy - Krusty Feb 11, 05:32 8
    - I don't love the proposals either, but baseball will not survive with the existing fanbase. It needs a whole new generation of fans. - Inigo Feb 11, 05:45 7
      - They could start with ending blackouts of their games online in their local market. Young people stream everything and aren't sitting - Krusty Feb 11, 05:47 6
        
        Automated strike zone enforcement would help. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 11, 05:58 1
        
        Yes, definitely. - Inigo Feb 11, 06:00
        
        They could also try doing a better job at marketing their players. Look to the NBA for ideas. They could loosen up on the uniform rules and let - Krusty Feb 11, 05:51 1
        
        I agree with all of this. -- nm - Inigo Feb 11, 05:54
        
        All the major sports have mediocre teams in the playoffs. Why should baseball be different? - Inigo Feb 11, 05:50 1
        
        I don't like the argument that because they're doing it we should too. It cheapens the playoffs when weak teams are allowed in. -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 11, 05:54
