They also dropped Hechevarria, whose recent yips in the field have been really costly, to bring Culberson back. Can’t say I disagree with any of the moves except maybe Sandoval but weird to make them all now.

So the Braves/Reds combined for the most strikeouts in a postseason game and was the longest a postseason game has ever been scoreless. Just what the hell.

A division winning team is eliminated by losing two games to a team that shouldn't have been in the playoffs at all because they didn't even win half their loving games This league is hosed

One more additional layer of stupid, the garbage tier, sub-.500 Astros should have been matched up with the top seed in the AL but they weren't because the system is dumb

I'm glad it's not just the Twins fans bemoaning this bullshit playoff format. 16 teams is too loving many and now that it's done for us I'm probably out for the rest of it and this aberration of a season.

Apparently listening to the radio feed meant missing A-Rod say every Brave should bunt because Hank Aaron bunted 20-odd times in a 23-year career, including 13 years without a single one https://twitter.com/keithlaw/status/1311391226252361728?s=21

Its the fundamental problem with 16 team playoff formats. A bad team sneaking in and going over a team that played better all season in a short series. It just happened to happen immediately, with the perfect team who were below .500 in a 3 game series, so its like super super focused.

Yes I grant that the Astros shouldn't be in the playoffs and I do not want this format to continue, to be clear. I am just specifically saying the Twins shouldn't be complaining because the format put them in the best possible situation within that format. e: Like under another format they'd have been playing, what, the Indians? Still going out I'm guessing (although I guess that series would be a curse-off)

They didn't even like get to stay at home and keep their routine, did they? Isn't everyone in the bubble? It might be the one advantage they could have in a broken format but that's not really saying a lot. Obviously poo poo happens. Baseball is chaotic. Short series do this. Twins are cursed. But like, its just the absolutely perfect scenario for people to be salty about it.

The complaint isn't that the Twins lost and how do we fix it so they win. It's that the format itself is bad, 3 game series for division winners and sub .500 teams sneaking in is just bad.
