when did the Phillies get good?
I don't even think they are.  The $400 million Mets fell on their faces and save for the Dodgers, the Central and West divisions suck.

Can we at least agree that the value of having four playoff games in one day is to line them up better? Why are these games not at like 1, 4, 7, 10
and not only that while you are watching 1 and recording another the one you are watching keeps telling you the current score of the one you are recording which is bullshit

I still stand by expanding to 8, with no divisions.  But these games are all in a row, with no days off, with all games hosted by the higher seed.  The lower seeded team always needs to win 4, but the higher seeded team just needs to win the number of games pursuant to their seed.  So the #1 seed needs to win 1, #2 seed 2, and so on

I don't mind a subtle but not wide gap. I think one rationale for this set up, not going to start a game locally at 9pm.

Perfect time for retired folks.

A good seat for $185.00. A cheap seat for $75.00.

Not perfect for fixed-income folks in a period of high inflation.

$150/seat for a couple retired folks living on SS is a bit high

even $75, with parking, transportation, a hot dog & a beer

I'd wait for the next round and a night game

I would agree.

Now, the spring training stuff is great. All of the games around here mostly sell out. Especially the Red Sox.

Spring training is fine, most games there outdraw the Rays and Marlins together. 

Fort Myers in February when Minnesota and Boston are hip deep in snow? Absolutely.
