Yep, he had to freeze. I wish there was a delete function on here -

The only thing that should be challenged is Royce’s inability to lift a ball to the outfield in a big spot -

Martin is a god awful baserunner edit: I guess he did have to freeze. Thought it was more of a grounder -
It’s got nothing to do with tradition. It’s the idea that a team could play mediocre to slightly above mediocre baseball for SIX MONTHS and just have a hot couple weeks and get to the World Series because that’s how baseball is. That’s why the 100 loss marlins might take a series from the twins. The teams with the best records in MLB win the World Series less often than the top seeds win the Super Bowl. Now, with both leagues playing each other and fewer divisional games, you could make an argument that the MLB playoffs make no sense. We try to decide in one month what’s already been shown in 6 months.

They haven’t continually expanded. There were 6 qualifying teams from 1990-2020 and the league added 4 expansion teams in that time. MLB went from 2 to 4 teams in ‘95, 4 to 5 teams in 2012 and then 6. The number of teams you play matters because the schedule is so unbalanced in the NFL. Different divisions play different divisions both inside and outside the conference. You don’t even play all the teams in your own league. While I don’t like seeing a team .500 or less get in, it’s easier to accept in a league where there are comparatively so few games against less than half the teams. I’ve seen the twins play 22 games against the top half of the AL qualifiers and they won 3. They had an opportunity to show they deserved a shot and they couldn’t do it.

They would have no shot to beat at least half the AL teams who qualified in a 5-7 game series. No shot. 3-19 against the Yankees, guardians and orioles.

How is the NFL watered down? If anything, it’s the only sport where expanded playoffs make sense (not that I think they should have expanded) since they don’t play even half the league. 32 teams and each team plays what, 14 other teams? The NBA and NHL are watered down. And they play half the games MLB does. The dodgers finished 16 games ahead of Arizona last season and the dbacks knocked them out. No way you could realistically make an argument that Arizona was better, as a whole. That would get a big “SSS” in any other argument on here.

So the product gets watered down to keep its existence? Yay.

And they do!

I said just the other day that we’d start winning once we got Justin topa back

I was going to ask wtf Santana was doing but I didn’t want to be accused of party pooping
-
Oh yeah start selling those playoff tix, we are so back
-
Yeah, not a good night for him. But we had to pinch run in the 5th!
-
If you’re Austin Martin, you’d at least better be able to get a ****ing bunt down if you want to stay in the bigs
-
You can see how the marlins have 99 losses. Yeesh
-
I didn’t say it was good baserunning I said it was bad luck. Unless he dove back as soon as it left the bat he was out. He’d have looked pretty silly diving back to first on a sizzling line drive that found the outfield grass
-
108 off the bat I think they said
-
Now we get bad luck too? Cmon
-
Man if we can’t score off this guy…
-
Sands is pitching through some pain
-
Now sands hurt? Ay chihuahua
-
Yeah I was going to say it was a tough read but then I saw the replay. Bad.
-
That was quite a sequence of events. Pinch run in the 5th inning Pinch runner gets a bad read and doesn’t score on a single Leader of the team looked like he didn’t know how many outs there were. Or just took a way too aggressive gamble
