~2022 MLB Thread~

In 1920, it was playing out a season to see who is the best.  THAT was entertainment.


But now people want the 12th-best team being crowned champion.  They're free to feel that way and I'm free to think they're dolts.

No, that was a more legitimate champion, but it was not entertaining

It's the equivalent of a 3 hour black and white foreign language film winning best picture.  It very well may have deserved it, but I turned it off 20 minutes in, and rewatched Die Hard

I believe you read them.  I don't believe you understand that they contain the thing you're harping on now. 

all they contain is the history of the playoff system and the fact that you dont like it

so what did I miss

what magic solution did you come up with

I triple dog dare ya

So it comes down to wanting the attention (and money) of the fans of the shitty teams.  That's the whole thing.  Awesome.  

For a group of people who tend to not want to cater to the lowest-achieving of us and want people to earn what they get, this line of thinking is truly bizarre.

[OrangeAfroMan]

Thats just the nature of the sport

Do you have any suggestions tp insure the team with the best record always wins the WS

Youre good at pointing out facts so now how bout your suggestions on the playoffs

is it just getting rid of WC teams?

WC teams have won the WS 4 times so its not really a coin flip

are you saying we dont have any playoffs and let the regular season decide the champion

Sure, that'd be best.

But I'm the problem here.

A shitty team has never won the championship.  As a fan of the Lions, I wish it was possible

well we all cant be as ethical as you

Have you got your CRT lesson plans all done

need to stay prepared

[OrangeAfroMan]

Good job ignoring the fact that your triple dog dare was met.

You're suggesting keeping the fans of fringe teams interested for longer by dangling a playoff spot in front of them.  Same thing.  

[ELA]

Well you switched from shitty to fringe, and championship to playoff spot

Oddly enough, money drives many/most decisions in this country, and around the world.  It's a good thing to understand this in life.

And of course everyone is free to voice their opinion as to how MLB should manage the post season, as if that would change anything.

And it's pretty easy to criticize a thing without offering one's own proposal of course.

[OrangeAfroMan]

How about a fringe team = a shitty champion?
Fair?

I swear you guys are literally blind.

[Cincydawg]

I am not literally blind by any working definition though my uncorrected eyesight is rather poor.

The word literally seems not to literally mean literally any more.
