The Twins had home field advantage (such as it is right now but they didn't have to travel) against a sub-.500 team and didn't win a game. What format tweaks can you possibly want?

The Astros shouldn't have even been in the play offs. If this stays going forward the 162 game regular season becomes pretty pointless.

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)

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.

Cubs have 1 more year with the big names before everyone hits FA. I honestly don't know how you fix the offense though, year over year it seems to be getting worse, they can beat up on crappy pitchers but anyone that throws faster than 92 is basically unhittable.

holy hell did Javy Baez fall off an absolute loving cliff this year

All the big names did, Bryant/Rizzo/Baez/Schwarber all had pretty miserable seasons. The only real positives this year were Ian Happ and Jason Heyward.

I do think Bote should get a lot more playing time next year, the stats might not show it but he hit the hell out of the ball this year with a .228 BABIP.

The Marlins beat Hendricks and Yu, they can take on Fried/Anderson/a pile of corpses just fine

It's gonna be tough, the Marlins needed to score a grand total of 3 runs across both games to win. The Braves offense is what you need to beat.

The only thing that bumps Marlins off the top of the list for me is a smug Derek Jeter feeling justified for tearing the team apart and lucking into a World Series 2 years later.

Let's go A's.

My man Starlin Castro gets traded to the Yankees in 2016 from the Cubs, Cubs win World Series that year. Becomes a free agent in 2019, isn't resigned by the Marlins and goes to Washington the year after they won the World Series, Miami will not probably win it this year.

I want him to get a ring.

Why? Why do sports people on Twitter people love the term "a fait accompli" so much?

Sorry I know this has nothing to do with baseball, I just never see anyone use that term but sports writers on Twitter.

I fully expect the Angels to be all in on Bauer right up until he signs with San Diego. Then they'll pivot and sign, I dunno, Didi Gregorious.

Angels sign another big slugger, continuing to test the the theory that you can out hit bad pitching.

A 3.4 team ERA in the playoffs is not bad pitching.

Trevor Bauer sucks more cause he's a weird internet creep who internet stalked a woman who said he wasn't as good as Alex Bregman and had his Twitter followers harass her.

He has bad opinions but is also just a genuine creep.

Bauer likes to think of himself as the smartest guy in baseball and I think he realized touting MAGA poo poo was working against that narrative.
