i agree the format is retarded. having a third wildcard is the real problem. just have two and let them play a 3 game series to reach the division series. i would prefer the division series be 7 games as well.

"The reason for that is, you know, the process that I went through to consider whether or not there would be a change with his role was one of both considering alternatives and looking at the work that's been done.">Atkins has served as Toronto's general manager since Dec. 3, 2015. In Atkins' tenure, the Blue Jays have made the post-season four times, including three of the past five seasons.>However, the Blue Jays haven't won a playoff game since 2016 and are coming off a disappointing campaign that saw them finish last in the AL East for the first time since 2013.>"Ross needs to be better, I need to be better, our entire baseball operations need to be better," Shapiro said.The suffering continues.

>>144810678I've seen more brackets online taking the padres in that series than the dodgers. The sportsbooks might have the dodgers as WS favorites but that's only because they're retarded. Dodgers are underdogs thanks to their suspect and injured pitching along with a hitting core that most are assuming will choke thanks to the performance of the past two seasons.
its happening again!fuck the regular seasonfuck big payrollsjust coast to 88 wins and roll the dicei hope you designated hitting inflating bag ghost running pitch clocking expanded playoffing interleague playing mlb apologist faggots are happy. baseball is dead and its never coming back
We were 12-24We were 10 games backThis series has played out how I expected going in …Game 1 - Tigers win a close one because of the Cy Young winnerGame 2 - The Michigan Native who grew up idolizing Verlander wins it for his teamGame 3 - The deadline transaction proves his value yet again and the Astros advanceLFG
OP was right btw
>>144811458You’re saying the Astros and Rangers didn’t have big payrolls the last two years?
>>144811239sportsbooks dont care who wins. doyers are favorites because theres been a fuckton of money bet on the doyers all year. if more money is bet on the padres the padres will be the favorite. it doesnt mean either team is more likely to win. thats just how betting odds work

Oh hey Houston! Congrats on winning the division! Really, you earned it. Remember how bad your year started? It's incredible that you were able to turn things around from there. Pat yourselves on the back and take a bow, my friends.I know your season is over now, but don't get too down. Not winning a playoff game in 2024 isn't a big deal, it can happen to even the best teams - like my Texas Rangers for example.And forget about that ALCS streak being broken, who really cared about that anyway?Look, if you're starting to feel depressed, remember that you have a safe place where you're always welcome...

>>144812855I knew something was wrong when they were dead last in the AL West early in the season. Just your yearly reminder that analytics driven moneyball style baseball requiring a large 162 game sample size to pan out means nothing in the postseason, just ask the Dodgers of the last 15 years. Clutch, heart, grit and little bit of magic are what win playoff games.
I’ve only been following baseball ~2 years. Someone explain how teams that were dumpster fires (Royals, Tigers, Padres, you guys all said the Yankees were done too) a season ago are now contenders and, teams with an average age of like 25 in their prime and would be considered potential dynasties in other sports (Rangers, Arizona, etc.), are now trash?

>>144812912My brother in christ, the Detroit Tigers exist. They have eliminated the Stankees THREE TIMES on playoffs (2006, 2011, 2012). This year could be the fourth if they face them in the ALCS.

>>144813031kek you might be right thothere have been stronger yankee teams recently that were better but couldnt make itdoubt this one will
oriolels have tied it
>>144812345Nobody loses games like the mariners
>>144813056we're rooting for the royals tho?
>>144813017Tigers
>>144812908
>>144813025Suarez honestly looked alright to me. Idk why he's throwing middle-middle with his velocity against Olson but he was locating well against the other two batters. Joe's been on a heater so hopefully that continues
>>144812987>PadresThey just had a bad, unlucky, bad chemistry year last year. Same with Mets.>ArizonaWon 89 games and missed playoffs in a tiebreaker, had better record than three AL playoff teams, so not really trash >You guys all said the Yankees were done too Lmao. I hate the Yankees but come on. >Are the White Sox going to win the World Series next yearNot likely but they should become "normal" bad which is 65-75 losses>Will my Cubbies ever be good againNo.
>>144813069luv ya cusb bro
>>144813096*65-75 wins
>>144812996>>144813011My point was that the divisions are arbitrary. Anyway you put the pirates in the East and send the Nationals back to Montreal. Or you simply disband the Marlins, Rockies, Pirates, Rays, Royals, and Anglels. Ggez.
Inevitably, when all the teams with a bye struggle for the third year in a row, will the MLB think about changing the playoff format?
>>144813050Would be kino but there’s no way Manfred lets a midwest team and New York’s B Team have a WS after last year’s shit ratings. Maybe under Selig. God I kind of miss Selig. It’s going to be LAD vs NYY
>>144813136No
>>144812987that's just the way baseball go
>>144813136They should give the bye team the option of playing in the wildcard round if they want. If it's such an advantage let them do it. Imagine being the Doyers who decide to play in it and Kershit gives up 8 in 2.1 innings and they go down lmao.
I got a haircut today

>>144813207Higher seed team's choice takes priority, reshuffle as needed.
I don't think you people understand that the 2024 Yankees have the best lefty-righty combo since 1927 Ruth-Gehrig and are going to absolutely smash the entire anus of your team.
Curbstomp the Cubs poster
>>144813230what the fuck does this post have to do with the cubyals?? seriously
>>144813230>the best lefty-righty combobut how's their slider cutter combo?
>>144813184Handsome anon in the house
Cubyals world series
>>144813230Stankees bullpen will betray them.
>>144813245Fuck you posted it first
moving forward only senior members can make game threads
cubyals have the hot hand
This general thread will be peaceful once again after the Yankmees choke the Division Series so those faggots around here will keep crying about the past. Whoever laughs, laughs better. Instead of 27 rings, enjoy 27 years of million dollar failure.
Cubyals looking solid
The run is over. The team is not.I am not sure how many of you need to hear this, but just because we got eliminated earlier than we have since 2015, doesn't mean we need to blow the team up and start over.We still have an incredibly talented roster that MASSIVELY underperformed this year. So many teams miss the playoffs and then retool, just to come back and make a run. 2023 Yankess missed playoffs, #1 seed this year. Padres made NLCS, missed playoffs, and now look like the team to beat AFTER trading Soto. Dodgers consistently get knocked out in the first round despite winning 100+ games every year. Braves were one of the best teams of all time in 2023 and won exactly 1 playoff game. Orioles have YET to win a playoff game with their insanely talented roster. IT HAPPENS.We need to put this in perspective. We made the ALCS 7 fucking years in a row. We won 4 of those ALCS's, and we won 2 WS titles. What we have done in this run, may never happen again in baseball. Ever. It was so insanely special and we are all dissapointed that it is over.We need to make some serious changes to retool this roster but we can still come back next year and be stronger. No we don't need to blow up the roster and trade everyone. Just retool and come back next year. We have turned this franchise into a big market team. We can still compete every year.
CUBGERS WORLD SERIES
>>144813269Who?
lets go cubyals lets go *clap clap clap*
>>144813288Is this reddit copypasta
Can’t we just beat this guy to death with a shovel so he can stop posting
>>144813269>whoever laughs laughs betterAs a Mets chad your team is golfing right now you sub 60 iq faggot. And it’s whoever laughs LAST, laughs better. else it makes no sense lmao.
>>144813314whoops wrong thread deleting this
>>144812417>tfw this is technically true
>>144813318Winky already died tho
>Mountcastle
>>144813288I see what you’re getting at, but, in all fairness, the team to realistically move will be the Angels. Jerry is trying to extort Chicago and their new stadium proposal will probably go through. Moving them to Tennessee out of the 3rd largest sports market in America would be the dumbest fucking thing a team owner has ever done. Angels will probably move to Utah or maybe even Canada. The Orange County market is laughably and irrelevantly small and half of it is already Dodgers fans. The rest will convert to Dodgers or Padres fans. Their modern existence was facilitated by Disney and dragged on for 15-20 years too long after said said experiment failed
>>144813318mfw we all know you mean Red Sox Panama
my ass hurts
>>144813311how did you know
>>144813176Faggotbacks fans still seething

linking this for those not in the royrioles game thread >>144813383
>>144813346I originally made this post on my phone as I was taking a huge shit. The original had typos because I clogged the toilet and panicked a bit thinking the bowl was going to overflow. Had to get the snake out. I understand that you won’t believe me but it’s true and cosmically funny in hindsight
>>144813411thanks anon, i'll be refilling my cup shortly
>>144813326counter point: the last time the astros won a controversy-free world series was, in fact, against the phillies.
Never participating in cubgers posting, you faggots jumped ship to the new girl next door, the royals. Die cubbers die
>>144812996braves
>>144813443whoa... this aint cool man. i ride or die for cubgers...
>>144813288I 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
>>144813443>he doesn't know
>>144813445That would work actually. Braves are farther west than Pirates.
>>144813465>not removing the shadow below the brimdisgusting trash post

Don't get too excited Doyerjoses. Even if Kerchoke is not there, your team will find new ways to lose games. Maybe another goose will land through Doyer Stadium and jinx them.
>>144813748i'm not excited and i know we will lose
>>144813726Royals-Tigers ALCS would fucking rule
Lmao just remembered the astros lost to the haven't been in postseason in 10 years tigers that's crazy

Business idea: losing team has to show their weiners on the field and the winners decide what to do with that development

>paying money for bumass free agents when you can just homegrow a bunch of kids and make them believe
>>144813975KWAB
>>144811998Meaning?
Whats dumb is the Astros run should now be over as they slide into a teardown/rebuild phase but since the rest of the division is so shit they will just get a free run to the playoffs again next year.
>>144814048So they're the Yankees after 2000.
>>144813443But cubyals existed before. Also cubyalgeriners
>>144813443Farmed so many (You)'s from this, GG chuds

Royals can beat the yankees. Orioles could not
My Royals winning it all as plucky underdog wildcards with a stout pitching rotation and speed? :^) See you in New York
This is why the Red Sox deserved to be in the playoffs all year along with the Yankees. Orioles aren't worth it of an October team.
>>144814281nice photoshopped image, we know you're a gay fraud
>>144814276Cope hon :)
Royals vs Padres would be freaking sweet. Sucks Orioles are huge Frauds. Oh well.
damn i did predict Royals could be a banana peel for O's sucks to be right

Haven't watched, listened to, or read about a single game in the past 10 years before today, but I heard my kitties did a thing. Is that true? Are we good again?

>>144814456rough weekend. thank god for playoffs and alcohol
Knockers
Reminder that the Royals have beaten two New York teams in postseason.>1980 ALCS, vs Yankees>2015 WS, vs Mets
>>144814380Would you rather Selig's one game wild card? Every wild card "series" back then was a sweep.
>>144814421We're back baby... but you might need to brush up on this season a bit or you are gonna be fucking confused when we roll out 2-3 bullpen days in the next series.
YANKEES SUCK!
>All series in the Wild Card have been sweeps>Mets will go 1-2 and get eliminatedjust goes to show that they didn't deserve to make it
>>144814361>>144814478Wildcard and division series should be 5 games. Championship and World series should be 7 games. I'd be open to a 7 game division series too but I think it'd be too long.
>wanting 5 games of royals v O's borefest
There is no way the Yankees lose a playoff series to the Royals. No fucking way it happens.
>>144814462winky is alive?

All I care about is my Padres owning the Dodgers and seeing Parlay Ohtranny go 0-12

Welp Mets won.
>>144814579KC's rotation is good enough to hold the yankees down. both teams have rough lineups very dependent on a couple guys.
Tucker is up for big pay raise ,bergman is up for free agent ,they tied big money to altuve who is mid 30s.It doenst look well for astro fan.
