lets teams lean even more heavily on their best few pitchers and not have to have depth

Which should be... fine for a championship series? I mean, yeah, you might go with a three pitcher rotation (i.e. the Indians last year, though not by choice), but you'd still want bullpen depth, etc. You could move the 4th pitcher to the bullpen also in case any of the starters get fatigued.

Make it 2-2-1-1-1 with an off day between all games regardless of travel (or two off days for travel), give teams with a single untouchable ace the supreme advantage

Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.

Do it like the NBA with a day off between each game and 2 games off for travel and have a series last 2 weeks.

Wait, don't.

He also might have thought he was going to make it, he's fast enough and it took a good play to get him.

I think the fact that Puig went and made a play out of it is why it wasn't reviewable.

Every few years I hope Texas is going to start going purple (and then blue)... and every few years my hopes continue to be dashed.

There's probably a list of reviewable plays that doesn't include whether you fouled it off of yourself, rather than a list of plays that aren't reviewable

They might add it

Yeah, this is not the time for the bats to go cold, fellas.

Also Wood’s fastball velocity is indeed down in his danger zone, but he’s compensating for it by not throwing it very much.

This is FINE.

I was actually wondering why kind of reaction he'd get but I didn't want to ask because I thought that would have been unfair of me to just assume some negative thing.
