I'd prefer not to play the hottest team in baseball, the probably Cy Young winner, and a World Series winning manager, but whatever.

I'm sure the prospect of playing against 2 rookie managers on this side of the bracket has a little to do with the Tigers decision to lay down. I'm just surprised the Royals didn't do the same. Oh well, Orioles/Yanks on the other side should be fun to watch.

I really do hate how I invest 400-500 hours of my spring/summer in to this team and then get screwed  in to having to take off of work to be able to watch the most important games of the year. 
Agreed. The NBA doesn't have non-weekemd playoff day games.

NBA is played indoors and MLB can’t have a postseason that runs 2 months like the NBA (and would be awful )

 

I just want to see the numbers that show rating /dollars are better this way than putting them all in primetime on weeknights. 
baseball is still a regional sport  and I’m willing to be your overall viewership is higher with two games going on in primetime at the same time vs 2 afternoon games when most of America is at work.

I saw “Lead after 8 innings: 80-3” and thought ‘damn that’s way better than I expected’ and then saw “Tied after 8 innings: 8-14” and thought ‘that’s more like it.’

And I know we’ve commented on this next one throughout the season, but damn:

”Trailing after 8 innings: 0-56”
