Lol it’s not that serious man, it’s a message board to have discussions. We’re all twins fans here. MLB plays twice as many games as the NBA/NHL so that argument is a bit irrelevant. I think the #1 goal of every league should be to have the best team be the champion. It doesn’t always work that way but it’s worth discussing when teams that win 60-70% of its games gets knocked out before they can play at least for a pennant
-
I used the wrong word come to think of it lol. Griping would be the better word. There has been more discussion this year with the added team
-
Yes, and they’re unfortunately known as one of the weakest world champs ever for that reason. They would have been FIFTH in the AL east that season. Things have gotten more fair as far as making sure some teams don’t get shafted

Because it’s a “who’s hot this week/month” tournament. Why play for 6 months and then cram the most important part of the season into 3-4 weeks? It seems wacky. And baseball, seemingly more than any other sport, is a sport of streakiness due to the complexities of hitting a baseball (also some arguments are being made about the layoff for bye teams this year and what that did to the hitters). Twins looked like legitimate contenders for April and most of May and then were the worst team in the AL the final four months. The dodgers win 111 games over 6 months and the offense slumped over the 4 games with SD. Yet, those two teams played 19 times at various points during the season and LA won FIFTEEN times. It’s just simply not a sport that lends itself to a reasonable postseason. Games need to be shaved off of the regular season regardless. The season should end on Labor Day weekend. That would free up more space to have longer series, but then teams would play eachother less. I think part of the angst about the playoffs comes from the added teams. I think it was fine with 4 per league. Now it’s just too many.

Oh crud I totally forgot about that

Schedule isn’t TOUGH but with the emergence of some teams like the jets, giants and patriots, it may not be as easy as it once appeared. Also, the 3 remaining divisional games are on the road. We always struggle in Chicago no matter how bad they are. 11 games left, I think you’d hope to come out 7-4. 12-5 should be good enough to get a bye unless someone gets hot. Unfortunately I think the eagles will be the top seed with their weak schedule coming up so someone will have to go through Philly to beat them (yikes). But then again, who saw Pittsburgh beating Washington, the falcons beating SF and the jets romping the packers? It would be nice if for once we could just go out and take care of business without making it a nail biter. I think they mentioned yesterday that we’ve played the most one score games over the last two years. I believe it. Yesterdays game shouldn’t have been close with the dolphins so banged up.

As you said, it’s all about money and so what makes sense is unlikely to ever happen. What makes sense is to play a balanced schedule, do away with divisions and leagues and just take the top 2 teams and have them play best of 9 or something. Or just name the top team the winner. Or just name a regular season champ and then have a playoff. I’d be tickled pink if the twins won 87 games and won the World Series but I wouldn’t believe they were the BEST team in baseball
-
I can see that point. To me, the baseball playoffs are like if you ran a marathon, finished first and then decided the champion by running a 40 yard dash immediately after. Too many things can happen in a best of 5 series that determine winners.
-
The good news is that it appears the division should be ours for the foreseeable future. I think AR time is coming to an end in GB
-
If Tua played today, this was probably a 10+ point loss. Watching buffalo and KC now…football is unpredictable but the bills should easily put up 30+ against us
-
Now we have to recover
-
Perhaps I spoke too soon
-
5-1 with essentially a 3 game lead on the packers
-
Not sustainable unfortunately
-
Nice. Finally broke one
-
3rd and 20 turns into a first down. Absolute trash defense
-
Think we can maybe cover tyreek bleeping hill
-
The missed XP sucked the momentum out of us completely
-
Nobody knows how to quite not put a game away like the Vikings.
-
Now the defense is going to ? the bed
-
Missed XP for the love of GOD
-
Punch this in for 6.
-
And what’s happened to cook? 8 carries 13 yards?
-
His regression is startling especially considering how bad of a relationship he had with zimmer
-
How does a team with JJ, cook, thielen and cousins struggle this badly?
