comfy thread, unlike the faggot spammer thread HE SHOULD FUCKING DIE
This thread is the thread. The other thread makes my stros and the brewcrew made out to be whiny faggots. While the format is fucking stupid, still gotta win games to win series.

>>144805119There should be 2 wild cards that play each other in a 3 game series. Unless there is a difference of at least 5 games between wild card 1 and 2, in which case only the top one qualifies.
>>144805150it's all one guy
Nobody has still been able to explain how playing in the wildcard round is a negative for the division winner yet a positive for the wildcard team. What quantifiable, measurable metric proves this?
>>144786854>happy birthday 4chan editionuhm what the fuck?
>>144805152The 2 wild card format was really the best option. 10/30 qualifiers is a perfect IMO
>>144805165you still haven't explained the purpose of the division and winning it if your team just ends up having to play in a wildcard
>>144805165It's a discussion that comes up every season, but it's funny since as soon as the division series starts there will be people saying that it was a negative to have a bye.
>>144805176Winning the division guarantees a seat at the table. Playing for the wildcard, and you could end up like Arizona, sitting at home watching the playoffs.
>>144805176Because the shitter division winners otherwise wouldn't be in the playoffs
wildcard games should be double headers for more chaos. change my mind.>>144805181>every seasonthis format has only existed for 2 years dumbass
What are the 1-2 seeds doing right now? Resting or assembling a team of farm kids to play full games against?
>>144805198And it's come up every season that it has existed. Therefore I'm right.
>>144805192>>144805195these are not legitimate answers and are just excuses for manfred's god awful format. there are real ways to do a wildcard round and punishing the division winner is not one of them kek
>>144805176This is not a legitimate answer and is just an excuse for poor postseason performances. There are real ways to win playoff games and losing is not one of them kek
>>144805206i guess that's seems like a long time for you since you've only been following baseball for that long
>>144805150BAJP was hilarious
>>144805209i'm right and you know it. if your team was in the position the brewers/astros were in right now, you would not be writing that kek. its a shitty format, simple as. if manfred really wants us to accept this format, he should just abolish the divisions. that's all i'm saying

seriously just abolish divisions and leagues already.
It's the last day of our season, Oriolebros. How are we feeling about how it went?
Is it a Brewers fan crying about the format, or is it an Astros fan crying about the Format? I think we're going to have to create separate divisions for playoff whining>BAWWWW OUR BREAK IS TOO LONG BravesDodgers>BAWWWW OUR BREAK ISN'T TOO LONG ENOUGHBrewersAstros
>soijack posting nowoh I won.
>>144805237i'm literally a cubs fan tho....
>Be a wildcard team>Have to face a division winner in the first roundIt's like having a bye week! God manfred is so STUPID for allowing division winners into the playoffs
>>144805202I figure they get a day of rest and then get a farm team to practice against until their round starts
>>144805218If I was a Brewers fan I'd be more upset with Murphy pulling my starter after 4. Astros got dicked down by the CY winner. It's baseball.
>>144805218I'm literally a brewers fan tho....
I don't know why you guys are so afraid of winning games. Maybe sports isn't for you if you want participation trophies.
>win division>forced to play in wildcard>losethis makes sense... because.. .BECAUSE IT JUST IS ok?!?!?!?!?!??!
>>144805237It's literally one Dodgers fan pre-coping
>Win division>Forced to take a week off and get rusty>losethis makes sense... because... BECAUSE IT JUST IS ok?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
The NLC is the worst division in baseball
notice how its all mests fans in the thread defending the format accusing people of being brewers fans when there is maybe ONE brewers fan known to /mlb/ and he's chill af. if they were playing the padres right now i know they'd be quiet lmao
>Win division>Forced to take a week off and get rusty>loseWTF MANFRED FIX YOUR STUPID SPORT
>>144805261Maybe the should win more games.
>win division>forced to play in wildcard>lose/mlb/ cannot refute how stupid and bad this is for the sport
>>144805265Yep. The single game wildcard or 8 team playoff were superior
>>144805267Mets were like 5-2 against the Dads this year. The team actually played good teams really well and badly against shitters like the Anglels, Marlins, and F's. I think the format is gay but it is what it is.
>win division>forced to take a week off and get rusty>lose/mlb/ cannot refute how stupid and bad this is for the sport

>>144805296and when the brewers/astros lose today I will be proven right
>>144805267>mets come from behind and win game 1 of the double header>mets come from behind and win game 1 of the wildcard>resort to increasingly autistic measures to seeth about the metstop kek
>>144805296/mlb/ would be permanently stuck on page 10 if it wasn't for spammie
GODfred makes trannies and brownoids seethe. The playoff format is therefore based.
>>1448052993 wildcards was a mistake. It was meant to catch a 90 win team that came 2nd in a division like the NL west. Now you can just be an 80-90 win team get hot and the regular season didnt matter
>>144805296>Go to baseball game>It's mostly families and chill people>Go to bar to watch baseball game>Surrounded by normies and their SOs. >Go on /mlb/>It's schizos and homosexuals
>>144805322>>144805296i'm not even spammy tho, just a good citizen reporting manfred's shitty format which should be fixed. you all know its a bad format, i don't understand why everyone is unironically shilling for it
It's a good format btw.
>>144805324yes, it's rewards shitter teams we know this. it's how the faggotbacks got to the world series last year and gave us one of the most semen slurping WS of all time
>>144805325nooooooooooooo much heckin division banner boooo manfreed booooooooooooooooo

It's the last day of our season Oriolebros. How are we feeling about the year?
I was visiting Florida and went to the a Marlins game a few weeks back and the stadium was very comfy. If it weren't deserted it'd be a great atmosphere.
You now remember when Baltimore, Atlanta, and LA all kwabbed in the division series and the cope was that they had too much time to rest.
PETE ROSE AND MLB AGREED TO A *LIFETIME* BAN AND PETE ROSE HAS PASSED AWAY. THEREFORE, THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN FULFILLED.PETE ROSE NEEDS TO BE PUT IN THE HALL OF FAME IMMEDIATELY.
>>144805362no sky no soul
>>144805299Maybe win division more convincingly next time
>kansas shitty roylels are sweeping into the ws again
>>144805362I know why the Marlins are the way they are (greedy tiny hat owner), but really... Cool stadium, in a city that is basically the capital of Latin America, surrounded by baseball fans (it was packed during WBC), there's just no excuse for this. The literal best thing Manfred could do for baseball is behind the scenes to navigate and get these shit owners (Marlins, A's, Reds, Pirates, etc.) out of the fucking league and sell their teams to people care.
>>144805372It was otherworldly. Not baking in the sun for once was kind nice
>>144805369Fuck this, the only thing more insulting than no HoF is putting him in after he's gone. He's dead, he's not in the HoF, that's it. Put him in now and it's a disgrace to everybody in the sport. MLB made a choice, don't pussyfoot it now.
>>144805369you've heard of lifetime bans, now get ready for deathtime bans. brought to you by rob manfred and the office of the mlb commissioner!
Leave the Padres to me.
is there anything more reddit than hating the stern and unflinching father figure of our beloved major league baseball?

Wildcards should be poker games instead. Cards is already in the name
The St. Louis Cardinals should be a wild card team every year. Cards is already in the name.
>>144805432
Yankees fans here who has not read the rest of the thread.The playoffs format is retarded. Playing 162 games just to have your season come down to a 3 game series and then the divisional series only being 5 games is retarded. They're never going to shorten the regular season but these series should be 7 games. Even the wild card should be at least 5 preferably 7.It also makes 0 fucking sense that the league with the longest regular season by far, and the only one with no salary cap, has the fewest teams make the playoffs. What's the point of that. You want people to keep showing up and caring when their team is basically done with 40 games left? People will show up if a team is basically in with that many games left because people like winning. Hopefully when expansion happens we can get fucking 4 four team divisions and just do shit like the NFL or push it to 16 teams.
>>144805593Dodgers in 5, sit the FUCK down stankee

>>144805593There is a hard out in the season though because of the weather. Getting into the first week of November and it's starting to get too fucking cold to play baseball in many cities.
This is Cleveland's year, I can feel it. Every time >we have gotten close, a reliever fucked it up. Mesa in '97 (and Assenmacher), and Bauer in '16, because he was unavailable.Clase is the best reliever in the majors rn. This is his chance to make a real name for himself.
>>144805150They’re all the same fucking loser talking to himself as >>144805154 points out. He has an origin story and everything. He’s also the autist that made a duplicate thread and copied over 50 posts verbatim into it.

>>144805850If the Brewers had to play in the NL East or West they’d be Giants tier. I think they should just get rid of divisions, then Comedy Central teams could stop shitting up the playoffs.
>>144805853Doesn't know what? All I know that the Dodgers will get to have 6 consecutive home games to start their playoff campaign. Petco Park is Dodger Stadium South.
>>144805869We had nearly a century where a 115 win team could play 0 games in October because another team had 116 wins
There is nothing dumber in all of sports than the MLB Playoff format.Imagine playing 162 games, WINNING YOUR DIVISION, and then facing elimination today in your SECOND playoff game like the Astros and Brewers do. It's completely ridiculous nonsense.
>>144805869>200 years of baseball history with divisional championsbased retarded casual
>>144805882and thats a good thing
>>144805766Dodgers living rent free in your head even from Korea

ok but seriously just go back to 2 wildcard teams and everything is fixed

>>144805915>>144805919cope kek!!!!!!!! oh my kek!!!!!
>>144805901Yes that’s the point we should have no leagues or divisions and completely balanced schedules where the top 8 teams by record advance and are seeded 1-8. No byes, no seeding by league, just an 8 team tournament. First round 5 games rest are BO7. But we have to give free births to poverty teams cause they live in flyover states.
>>144805896I:>look like this.>say this.
>>144805901NL teams had the Marlins AND Rockies kek!
>>144805944Well we have a whole off-season to talk about it, focus on the beisbol
>>144805944>No leagues or divisionscomplete non-starter. Stop trying to fantasy manage and get real
>SAN DIEGO -- The Padres became a Major League franchise in 1969, but the San Diego Padres were in existence long before then. In fact, the Padres' first season came in 1936 >Padres have been around for 88 years and have never won a world series uhm..... how can we explain this
>>144805896I actually think this seriously compromises the integrity of the MLB. It’s one thing to put bench players in and let them play in garbage time. But for players to straight up swing at everything/do nothing on defense etc. it’s unethical. The Braves got a free win and honestly so did the Mets. When the Brewers played them last week the Brewers were doing the same swinging at everything stuff. I think the MLB seriously needs to crack down on this in the future. There is a reason all 162 games are played
>>144805869More teams getting to play in the playoffs instead of getting fucked over because barely anyone gets in is a good thing actually
>Yeah, sorry Giancarlo, but we're gonna simply not pay you anymore

i can haz pipey?
>>144805961Yes I know it’s a non starter Manfred is obsessed with accommodating poverty teams and their shitty owners who refuse to spend and would rather just rake in revenue sharing from teams actually trying. There’s no incentive for comedy central teams to actually spend on salary because they can just luck into free playoff berths from winning their shitty divisions. Removing the central divisions at least(and expanding East and West) would also fix it as it would cause those teams to compete with actual, serious teams.
divisions don't matter anymore chud. get with the program. we even have a "balanced schedule" just to shit on your divisions and prove it
>>144806023It would be a Non-starter under literally any and every commissioner.
Cubs fan here
>>144806023>There’s no incentive for comedy central teams to actually spend on salary because they can just luck into free playoff berths from winning their shitty divisionsThe incentive is that moneyballing into short windows of contention is less effective than spending money to keep a contending core in place. There's a reason why the A's and Rays cycle between good and dogshit, while the Dodgers, Braves, and Astros remained good for years on end.
I need a gaping
she's a cubs fan
>>144806038Teams like the Reds and Pirates have no interest in being good, if they luck into a good year great but it doesn't mean anything. Heck the owner of the O's was indicating a sell-off was coming, and then the team was sold to someone who gives a shit. They need to get rid of these dogshit shyster owners.
this feels like a good time to remind everyone the dogers have not won a world series since 1988 and the mets since 1986
>>144806029Because every commissioner works for the plurality of owners, and the majority of owners just want to coast on revenue sharing profits and don’t care about baseball.That doesn’t mean my idea isn’t in the best interest of the sport, it just means the commissioner works for the owners and not the sport.
>>144806057my dodgers won in 2017, 2018, and 2020 and you knows it. #dynasty
>>144806058My idea is the best for the sport. It's to make Baseball into the greatest sport ever using a genie's wish. But it won't happen so why bother talking about it? We aren't talking about how the 2024 White Sox can still win the World Series
cant we all pool our money together and buy a team?

It's always entertaining to realize that the Brewers are literally a bad season away from relocating

QUESTION: how does the NPB playoff format work? and is it better or worse?
>>144806058>his idea is to dismantle the National League >his idea is to dismantle the American League >all this to make the playoffs “fair”you are either a zoomer a faggot or both
>>144806119you realize this is exactly what manfred wants. universal DH, balanced schedule, expanded wildcard -- its all to abolish divisions and eventually leagues.
>>144806116I remember when I was a kid my parents got me the Baseball Encyclopedia (basically Baseball reference in book form) and in the back they had an appendix that listed every single rule change ever done and yea, they've been tinkering from day one.
gaylanta is on a mission
>>144806119No I would rather go back to no-DH NL and the old division heavy schedule but if we are doing this thing where leagues and divisions are functionally meaningless in every aspect it makes no sense to give the bad divisions free playoffs just because of geography.
>>144806075Marlins are only worth like $1B USD. So if there are about 75 /mlb/ posters and if we each put in about $13.5M USD then yes, we can make that happen. Problem is, we'd have to own the Marlins. I think we could really turn things around for them though, bring them back into Eries form.
>>144806116Every single instance was an EXPANSION, what the anon ITT is asking for is REDUCTION. You can't reduce. Once the cat is out of the bag it doesn't go back in.
You used to be able to request a high pitch or a low pitch from the pitcher. They should bring that back.

cubs literally won, scumbag
>>144806359gay braves
>>144806246Wow so you're going to be the one guy who can't cough up $13.5M so /mlb/ can buy the Marlins, huh? Sad desu
cubyals are winning tho
>>144806359it’s not just cubs schizo every loser mlb redditor and twitterer is crying crocodile tears this morning about the injust playoff format because their shit teams are still shit. it’s the baseball topic of the day until the games start
cubyals and cubgers are still in the mix
Just give em a chance fellas
>>144806393uhmm or maybe the playoff format rewards actual shitters who couldn't win their divisions?
>>144806393Well I just got off work so I’ll see you nerds at 4:30
>>144806386Buying a sports team is the safest investment you can make, if you can do it. It's literally impossible to lose money, or not make major returns. I would totally invest in the Marlins if I could.
>>144806411BAIT!not biting this
>>144806411
I call it Cubyalgerkeesdres.
>>144805481Don't give a fuck about manfred. It's simple shit. Does he deserve the HoF for on-field action? Yes. Does he deserve to not get in for his betting behavior while managing players? Also yes. Both can be true, numbnuts. All that said, the right is still there for them to have patched it up. They had fucking decades. If MLB and Rose didn't do it in all that time and if he's dead now, then that's it. Don't put a guy in only after he's dead. It's disrespectful to him, to not give him the honor of being inducted while alive, especially when you had so much time to do it. If you couldn't make it work and if you didn't come to an understanding, and if he's dead now, then just drop it. It would be an insult to him to induct him only now that he's dead. That's the most response you'll get and way more than you deserve, fagtard frogposter

>>144805605I wish my lake erie brother, but frankly I just can't be excited. CLE Playoffs always feels like I'm waiting for execution. At least if the yankees die I won't feel bad about the AL, well long as it's not the assturds.

Can Angels adopt the Tiger pitching strategy?
mlb already had the perfect playoff format>no series except da 'eries, top team in the AL faces the top team in the NLdivision wins and wild cards are participation trophies. you want a shot at a ring? then win the most games
Winky put a pinky in ya stinky?
>>144806473>cheese not included >shows cheese
This grave wild card Injustice is strange. Because 2 years ago Cardinals fans and guardians fans did not care one bit about this problem. And last year Brewers fans and twins fans did not care about this.
>>144805897to make it worse, the '48 Indians WS pennant has been fucking missing since 1949. That and they've made the WS 4 more times since then and lost all of them.
Baseball is a sport.
I think all 10 playoff teams should be put in a separate league in October. Each team plays the other in a 3 game series, higher record team gets home field. Then the top 2 teams by record go to the World Series. Like a Champions League group stage.
>>144805944>it's a big market bitch crying into his 300 million salary againif you wanna make the series then win more games, bitch

>>144806712NPB's original playoff system was a split season format where the league winners of each half of the season played a 5 game playoff with those league winners going to the Japan Series. It was very popular among the Japs.
>>144806707I know a guy in his 70's who posts on /mlb/
>>144806801Actually pretty kino, should be 7 though. Fluke protection.
>>144806672unconfirmed and debatable.

>Diamond Sports Group won't carry 11 MLB teams in 2025>Diamond Sports Group, the bankrupt operator of Bally Sports channels, said it will stop broadcasting games in 2025 for 11 of the 12 Major League Baseball teams it currently televises.>Diamond announced the decision Wednesday in court, saying it would continue carrying Atlanta Braves games next season.>Seven of the remaining 11 teams -- the Cincinnati Reds, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Angels, Miami Marlins, St. Louis Cardinals and Tampa Bay Rays -- were under contract with Diamond for 2025. Those teams will have to either negotiate a new deal with Diamond or find a different operator.>According to The Athletic, representatives from Major League Baseball said that they were "sandbagged" by Diamond's announcement and that they did not have sufficient time to prepare a response.>"We have no information about what is being done," MLB attorney Jim Bromley said at the court hearing, according to The Athletic. "We've had no opportunity to review, and now we're in front of the court and being asked to make our comments.">The other four teams carried by Diamond this season -- the Cleveland Guardians, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins and Texas Rangers -- had deals with Diamond that expired after the 2024 season.kek get fucked bally https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/41569980/diamond-sports-group-carry-11-mlb-teams-2025
>>144806179think about that and then consider how many pitchers just threw full games their entire career
>>144806836This is karmic payback for that awful scorebug.
>>144806836maybe those shit teams should put a good product on the field so broadcasters actually want to put that shit on TV. or start their own RSN and print money like the best teams do.
>>144806194each league does thistop team bye2 and 3 play bo5winner plays top team bo7 except it's really bo6, top team starts series 1-0each leagues winner of this goes to bo7 series

>>144786854You think any of these series are going past today?
>>144806489this, fuck northern kentucky
>>144805883yeah let's go back to pre-69 when the best team in each league made the WS.
>>144806640*Serving Suggestion
>>144806914Probably a local OTA channel like KCOP
>>144805883winning a crap division like AL West really shouldn't be rewarded more than a wildcard spot
How do my metties find a way to blow this?

Dodgers are fucked in 2034-2044 when they have to start paying ohtani $68,000,000 a year
>>144806922this but keep divisions so we get 3v3 tag team WS
>>144806998they're banking all their nipponbux for when that starts
>>144806998its gonna be peanuts after 8 years of kamalaflation
>>144806867You could put modern day Murderer's Row on the Rays and it would only matter so much. Population within territory rights is the name of the game; you got it or you don't.
>>144805432>max charred
Is it okay to abandon tradition
>>144806975I'm sure the Angels will keep everyone on the current broadcast crew if they decide to move to another channel
>>144806981Padres had 4 runs on 5 hits, braves had 0 on 7 hits. The catcher hitting home runs isnt sustainable offense, same with the pitcher having 12 Ks. Braves bullpen had one hit in 6.2 innings. I like the padres I have them winning the 'eries, but yesterday was obviously a best case scenario for padres and worst case for braves
Anyone see the new jomboy? Squealing and cheering Jason Hayward’s line out

>>144805883winning the division should at least guarantee you a 5 game series.They should remove the 2nd and 3rd wildcard and return to the single wild card.
>>144807108They should not do that
>>144806787If it isnt long island, manhattan or staten island. Its upstate. sorry bronxbros you are flithy upstaters
>>144807082oh okay i wasn't sure
>>144807058Wrong. If the Rays signed Ohtani and Soto and started their own RSN and sold a monthly streaming app showing all their games it would attract millions of bandwagoners and they'd get so many viewers. The game is international now, if these teams actually spent they could get tons of lifelongs. But they put out budget rosters and then wonder why even people who live close to the team don't care. If you build it, they will come.
>>144807132zoomer detected.1 game wild card playoff was the most retarded formatthe 3 game wild card playoff has slightly improved upon this so people who don't remember the 8 team playoff think its better

>>144807705He’s never struck out
>>144807139Yeah, I get it's a spend-money-to-make-money scenario, but there's an upper limit to team payrolls that's directly correlated to market size (because that's where teams can draw the bulk of their revenue from). Remember when the Padres got tsked-tsked by the owners and eventually MLB for taking on a $50M loan amidst their highest payroll ever?
>>144807666Because the Dodgers weren't playing in Mexico that year.

>>144807783still don't see how that is reflective of the fanbase in San Diego. If they played the doyers they would all be in doyer gear
>>144807783he didn't know that because he's a bandwagoner who only watches the padres when they make it to the postseason

Was the Mariners entire rotation #2 starters this year?
