achillesforever6 posted:It's just that we saw this exactly last year and we know that in the next season Bob Nutting is going to gently caress this team by not giving any money and the rich rear end in a top hat teams will take our free agents and then we will have another 20 year losing streak that will lead to us losing a few bullshit wildcard games Yeah the NL playoffs are a mess. No one can argue the Dodgers and Mets deserve a best of 5 over CHI-PIT, but you do have to figure without the playin change, the third best team in baseball would be left out of the playoffs which would also be pretty terrible.

why don't they just make it 160 game season and then you can have two 3-game WC series on the same days

Dexo posted:That I understand trust me, minus the small market stuff. But no need to be super irrational and unironically think Arietta is hitting dudes on purpose or doing anything malicious. No one thinks this Why are you trying to score cheap points on this, your team injured the Pirates grievously and is in the process of handing them a devastating home WC loss Try harder

tinstaach posted:Yeah, I think it's ridiculous to advocate for intentional HBPs after that, regardless of the situation. And Fiers was trying to throw a strike, or at least something close to it. I never advocated for ihbp. I think that ihbp should be an instant ejection and unintentional should get a warning but I guess we wouldn't get benches clearing in a play-off game if they treated hbp with the danger that they actually entail.

It's this bizarre thing where I figured we had like a 1/5 chance in beating Chicago over 1 game, even odds at the Cards in 5 games, and like a 75% chance over the dregs of the NL in the CS. Playoffs are kind of stupid.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:So if the Pirates had ended up with 97 instead of the Cubs would their fans still be bitching about the injustice of the new wild card system? Yes? I would at least. I mainly watch hockey, whose playoffs are a full best of 7 for each round. Baseball is even more of a series sport, and it's a real turnoff because it really seems to undermine the concept of playoffs. If you're going to have series based playoffs in a sport where one game essentially a coin flip, all of your rounds should be some degree of a best-of. It's so anticlimactic to have literally the 2nd best record in the loving majors and lose out of the playoffs on a one game coin toss where you the hottest pitcher in the game. Baseball's better teams show over more than one game where they get to start their best starter, and it would probably show even in a best of 3.
