I love Magic Johnson flying back and forth from Dodgers games to Commanders games, Tweeting like a.bot

I got frustrated watching the inept Braves last night, so we went to the local tavern for dinner.  It was quiet night, not many folks out for some reason, Monday etc.  They had the game on, I could hardly believe it.  It reminded me of the UGA-OSU game where I went to bad start of the 4th figuring it was done.

So, that's my gig now.

Great calls by tbs PBP Brian Anderson late innings last night.    I'm a big homer of his due to his day job doing primary TV PBP for the Brewers, but he's the best in the biz on the national calls.

Did you at least get back to watch the ending?

We got back, and I went to the head, and my wife started screaming, so I finished and saw the replay.  (The bar is next door, and pretty decent.)

At least I wasn't completely asleep.

I saw 3 managers in a row remove the dominant starter.  DBacks did it last night, Phiillies did it and lost, and someone else did it, I can't remember. 

A lot of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" being thrown out the window.

The NL "champ" will have finished either 14 games back in their DIVISION or 16 games back.


What is the fucking point?

you may need therapy

the playoff crowns a playoff champ
the reg season crowns a reg season champ

they are different

There's no such thing as a regular season champ in baseball.

And I'm sorry if I'm incredulous, but having a 162-game season only to whittle it down to a best-of-5 or 7 series is plainly stupid.

If team A cant win at least 4 out of 7 games against team B they lose and its been that way for over 100 years

Not sure what would make you happy short of just declaring the Dodgers as champions for winning more games during the reg season

obviously, the Dodgers and Braves are not built for the playoffs ;)

How long something has been in place is irrelevant.
Also, for the first 68 years, there were 2 leagues that didn't play each other and no divisions.  So to correct your statement, it's only been this way for like 55 years.
.
What would make me happy?  Not rewarding mediocrity.  
Divisions are a thing, so be it.
Division champions should face off to determine the league champ.  Simple.
.
Having teams that finished 15 games back in your playoff is sheer obliviousness and is solely for money.  Throw competition out the window.  Entertainment only.  
There is ZERO interest in the champion being the best team.  
.
I simply don't see the point of that.
If this isn't the appropriate place to share that, then what is? lol

I would like the wc teams reduced to 1 in each league

While we are at it lets get rid of the time clock bs on the pitcher and batter and the starting a runner on 2nd base in extra inning games
