Somebody call the big orange guy and tell him to save the national pastime.

1. remove the DH in the NL; save our heritage
2. stop interleague play
3. get rid of the wildcard round; it's absolutely crazy for teams to play 162 games and have a division winner have to play their second place team in a 3-game series to see who moves on

I remember the days when the Republican Party wanted less federal government intervention. Wish we could go back to those days.

1. OK, boomer
2. No, I love that each team plays each other
3. I'm OK with the wildcard round; however, a team that's 81-81 and is HOSTING is complete BS. All division winners get in, but teams are seeded 1-6 based on record. The Astros would be having to play AT CLEVELAND instead of hosting the White Sox. Trash.

Just get rid of divisions and set a minimum number of wins to make the playoffs... no way they'd do that and lose money though

Are you OK with the ghost runner starting on 2nd in extra innings?

Absolutely not.

Play at least three extras before going to Little League rules.

The federal government has zero business meddling in college or professional sports.

You think that's crazier than the 4th ranked team getting a bye? They should go 1-6 for seeding and get rid of the Division seeding. You shouldn't get a bye if you finish 4th after 162 games playing in a weaker division.

I think if the first wild card team has a better record that the lowest division winner, they should get to choose who they play in the wild card round.

Assuming we're not going to make any changes to the number of teams that get in, that is.

He's right about this one.

The whole point of the 162 game season is to determine who the best teams are. A team in second place is at best, second best.

Plus, The teams with byes now have to sit an awfully long time.
