MLBPA approves playoff expansion but... -- (edited)

Posted by Krusty (aka Krustylu) Jul 23 '20, 14:12

this part is the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time, "If a 16-team format is adopted, it would include a televised postseason-seeding show in which top-seeded teams pick their first-round opponents, a source told ESPN's Buster Olney on Thursday."

I hate that so, so much.

  - More and more this season is just a meaningless exhibition season with fantasy rules so they might as well let teams borrow outs from - Krusty Jul 23, 14:20 8
    - This is the year they will finally start using rubber balls, I'm felling it. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 23, 14:46 1
      - Split the teams in quarters, move them to more cities and start a massive wiffle ball league. -- nm - Krusty Jul 23, 14:48

      - You could have the targets be different for each batter as well where a righty that's a pull hitter only gets targets in the right field stands. - Krusty Jul 23, 14:38 2
