Anyone else think the MLB WC is BS

You play 162 games to have your season comes down to 9 innings? Why not have a 3-game set with the #1 WC being the home team?

This way increases the chances of the #1 team advancing to the World Series. Therefore, I say that it is good.
Old rules were perfectly fine, and that would have Anaheim and Los Angeles in the WS starting tomorrow night. The fact that the other eight playoff clubs have even a chance at this point is just gravy for them.
Why say you that these also-rans deserve more gravy?

I'm cool with it. There is a way to avoid it by winning your division.

Stupid. Any team can win 1 game. Not nearly the same as football or even basketball. Talent wins a series.

I agree. A one game sudden death is pitiful. Move the season up a week. Best if three for wildcard play.

No comment.

I think eventually (15+ years from now) each league will have 8 teams reach the playoffs like the NBA and NHL playoffs.
The NFL is trying to push for a 7th team in each conference then will be pushing for an 8th team after that.

I bet you're a Braves fan.

Three games would be almost just as random.

I've heard that your Pelicans uniform prediction last year wasn't even close.

It's not really a true baseball playoff series.
It's more like a "play-in" game.
As far as I'm concerned, it's not really the playoffs.

I agree. This playoff setup is crap.
The entire 162 game season is made up of 3 or 4 game series.
Then in the playoffs it becomes a 1 game contest.
Total crap. But what did we expect from Bud Selig. The guy makes Roger Goodell look smart.

I like the idea with a 3-game series with the #1 seed hosting each game. That would be very advantageous for the 1st wildcard, yet still punish them for not winning the division.

Of course the premise of having one game to save your season after playing 162 is complete BS. Playoffs, in any sport, aren't designed to be the most fair way to crown a champion though. They're designed to generate excitement and get TV ratings and bring in as much $ as possible. These two wild card games are brilliant in that regard.

It's bullshite, if it was a 3 game series I would actually like the idea and I'm a traditionalist
