Becoming more like BloodFeud/NBA/NHL playoff systems is generally a bad idea. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 11, 05:45
I’m ok with these so long as they eliminate the regular season too -- nm - JackDawson Feb 11, 05:41 5
- 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

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
