ESPN posted:MLB is considering a move in which each league would have three division winners and four wild-card teams making the postseason starting in 2022, sources said. The best team in the league would receive a bye into the division series. The two remaining division winners and the wild-card team with the best record of the four would each host all games of a best-of-three series in the opening round. so basically they want to make the march madness bracket reveal show, which isn't the worst idea, but the MM bracket show gets to run completely unopposed. This is going to run on a Sunday night against an NFL game on network television.

I like the "pick your opponent"aspect but I think adding more playoff spots hurts regular season play. Baseball it's the only sport where just making the playoffs is a big deal and good. I hate to lose that.

Can't wait for the Yankees to pick a team that sweeps them and this is quietly buried. Let's say it's the... Athletics.

Yeah not to derail too much here but the seasons so loving long. Baseball is weird. I hate the one game wildcards.

I'm not sure if Walton World is a thing but it should be. Is it a gimmick? Absolutely but treating basketball (especially the college version) if not all sports as a carnival sideshow instead of end all be all of human existence gives it the added bizarreness that life occasionally needs

Crazy Ted posted:Bill Walton's pivot from obnoxious rear end in a top hat, when I was a kid, to crazy lovable old bastard has been wonderful. He always had a lot of good moments and could be fun but he was a lot more prone to John Wooden worshipping "these players today don't understand what basketball is supposed to be" type stuff back in the day, which he has corrected by no longer actually paying any attention to the game he's ostensibly supposed to be commenting on. And also in his defense late 90s/early 00s basketball really was unwatchable garbage. MourningView fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Feb 14, 2020 |

I'm glad Walton has an audience but I don't get his appeal at all. If I want to hear a crank rambling about whatever comes to mind I'll go to YouTube.

Most random cranks are a lot less joyful about it than he is, that's his real appeal. He's clearly having a lot of fun and it's infectious.

It also helps that Dave Pasch knows how to be the straight man in this situation. I think without Dave it may fall a bit flat.

If I were a A's fan, I'd be livid at this. They just put up a financial gate for game access to their fans and expect them to bend over & take it?

It's funny that Manfred keeps trying to find new rules to make the game more appealing but the biggest issue is that it's hard for a lot of people to even watch the product. Local blackout rules mean few people under 35 are going to watch their local team. Local TV deals have locked out Dodgers fans and likely most Cubs fans this season from seeing their team play. MLB finds new ways to make it harder to follow the sport.

You DO realize that the people who own the RSNs are, for the most part, the people who also own the cable/satellite providers AND the internet you use, right?
