I'm convinced the Dodgers are getting bounced by the Brewers tomorrow.

fast cars loose anus posted: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? 2) a 3 game series is an even more ludicrous crapshoot than a 5 or 7 game one, if they're going to have such an expanded field and short series, they need to give the higher seeds (or at least division winners) a 1 game lead to start the series or something

The Nats were still under .500 after 60 last year and such

Johnny Bravo posted:Nah, first round is actual home field advantage in home ballparks Yeah but I mean if they're staying in hotels and not keeping their routine and maybe not being with family or the people they're close with then we're basically talking a more comfortable clubhouse and more used to the field dimensions. I dunno. I tend to think home field advantage is kind of overrated in and of itself but it seems diminished for whatever psychological affect it has.

The Rays and Marlins are the teams of destiny so nothing else really matters to me unless Cleveland turns it around, in which case this year was incredibly real and legitimate.

Major League Baseball 2029: each game shall begin tied 3-3 in the 10th inning. EVERY DAY IS AN EXTRA INNING THRILLER! You'll know it's the 10th inning because the bases start out loaded.

The entire lesson of this period of history, especially if you’re just an utter shithead, is that just plowing ahead and embracing shitheadedness is far more likely to be rewarded than any attempt, however insincere, at apologies or accountability.

bawfuls posted:This thing where Correa and the Astros pretend like they have no idea why everyone hates them is getting real old. They seem to have convinced themselves they did nothing wrong, and therefor everyone just hates them for being good. They are also taking bows for finishing 2 games under 500 and winning 2 games against the Twins in the playoffs. Truly historic. elentar posted:The entire lesson of this period of history, especially if you’re just an utter shithead, is that just plowing ahead and embracing shitheadedness is far more likely to be rewarded than any attempt, however insincere, at apologies or accountability.

UZR IS BULLSHIT posted:Major League Baseball 2029: each game shall begin tied 3-3 in the 10th inning. EVERY DAY IS AN EXTRA INNING THRILLER! Only one game is played per team per season. The World Series game is chosen by lottery ball. All other games are the playoffs. All games start at the same time on the same day. Three games are randomly interleague. The World Series game is not guaranteed interleague. The Marlins have a 9-season World Series win streak by pure dumb luck.

Ammat The Ankh posted:Not to be rude, but if such a thing as a benevolent God did exist, why would the Minnesota Twins be allowed to exist? Because despite abject failures in the postseason that they've been since 1991, and despite some of the worst seasons in the long history of baseball in the last decade, they are fun. I absolutely love the fact that we had weirdos like Bert Blyleven and Lew Ford and Max Kepler and Nick Punto. Genuinely good people like Harmon Killebrew and Joe Mauer and Jim Thome. Great players like Kirby Puckett (the man himself less great), Johan Santana, and Rod Carew. We have one of the best ballparks in the league, easily the best mascot (I will fight you), and some pretty drat good announcers. We are a drat fine, proud team. We just can't win a GODDAMN SERIES in the POSTSEASON. We have some of greatest single games in the sport, one of the best-ever World Series. I don't get it. I just. I don't get it. We'd be the Mariners if the Mariners weren't the Mariners.

Framber and Tucker both sorting their poo poo out is still the least likely thing that actually happened this season.

The Braves have still lost more consecutive postseason series, but the Twins just somehow managed to be so transcendental that they don't even win a game during them to build hope.

Its weird because the answer to "What do you say now?" is clearly "That you're a below .500 team that snuck into the playoffs because of a stupid playoff system, got a higher seed because of a stupid playoff system, and then won a series in 2 games because of a stupid playoff system." Then again assholes be assholes.
