and again repeating your position over and over just is a waste of time

it makes no difference how many teams or division are involved

to say that it does is what does not make sense

the winner of each division plus WC teams is still well within an effective playoff program

the wildcard teams play off and then meet the highest seated division winner who will have HFA

there is nothing wrong with that system

feel free to keep repeating your position over and over Ill let you have the last say
I'm repeating myself and articulating how I feel because I enjoy doing so.  
Your "effective playoff program" just had an 88-win team hosting a 106-win team.  That's fucking brilliant, isn't it?  
And it "rewarded" a 107-win team with playing a 106-win team in the divisional series.  Another wave of pure genius.

the 106 win team should have played better

Sigh.
I guess we could have a better convo about this if you guys understood that a 5 or 7-game series in baseball is basically a coin flip.  And my post you're responding to had nothing to do with the outcome, but the design.

Ernie Banks acknowledges the crowd after hitting the 500th home run of his career at Wrigley Field on 12 May 1970.

Picked up some $10 tickets for a Guardians Spring Training game.  Holding off on buying any others because there might not be a Spring Training.

Was about to say that there's no way COVID is shutting that down, and then remembered...oh yeah...that whole lockout thing

May be a Twitter screenshot of 3 people and text that says 'Kendall Baker @kendallbaker David Ortiz's career oBp: 380. Barry Bonds' career oBp if you turned all 762 of his home runs into outs: .384.'

There's a youtube video diving into Bonds' crazy last few seasons.  One year, he would have had the highest WAR without a bat in his hand. Cartoony shit.

There isn't any video footage of this, but this is more or less exactly what happened in 1908 (it actually happened twice that season in key moments) and is a very key reason why the New York Giants lost the pennant to the Chicago Cubs.   See  Merkle's Boner.    Poor Fred Merkle.  Good a place as any to tout one the best baseball books of all-time,  Crazy '08 by Cait Murphy.
