I'm OK with four, would be OK with six I think, not so much 8.

I think where 5 > 4 was that it rewarded winning your division in a format where the schedules were very unbalanced, but still allowed 2 teams a shot, but then were at a slight disadvantage going against the best team.

My only tweak is that I would have changed the wildcard game to a best of 3, because one dominant pitcher has too much influence in a one game situation

An immaculate inning occurs when a pitcher strikes out all three batters he faces in one inning, using the minimum possible number of pitches (nine).[2] A total of 98 pitchers have struck out three batters on nine consecutive pitches in a half-inning of a Major League Baseball (MLB) game as of June 2022.

The Astros had two immaculate innings in todays game with the Texas Rangers from two different pitchers

This has never been done before and is a MLB record

Obviously, at 0-2 pitchers will often try and get a batter to fish out of the zone, so this is unusual.

May be an image of 3 people and text that says '48 years ago today, Nolan Ryan threw 235 pitches and struck out 19 batters in 13 innings and ended up getting a no-decision against the Red Sox.'

That's what teams are doing to Robbie Grossman this year.  His plate discipline is still great, so his OBP is solid, but he's not hitting anything.  I don't get why anyone is trying to paint on him.

Granted Javy Baez is the exact opposite.  I wouldn't throw him a single pitch in the zone

That was is own fault.....8 walks and allowed a game-tying HR in the 9th to Yaz.  
.
Among all his amazing numbers, I think having a .333 win% while leading the league in ERA is the craziest.

I once pitched a 12 inning game.  I was on the JV team and we didn't have another pitcher.  We lost 2-1 on an error after being tied 1-1 after the 6th.  I hit a batter in the 12th with an 0-2 count to lead off the inning.

Tigers have now been shut out 5 times this month.  Trade Meadows and Baez for some trash cans to help AJ Hinch out
