Lance 228 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 what do you guys think? It's getting to the point where I kinda miss the old days...before expansion, before interleague play, before the wild card, back when you knew the Braves would be on WTBS every night at 7:35 or 10:35PM... The wild card has been kinda fun, and the occasional Braves - Yankee match up has had its times...but...overall, I just kinda miss the old days in a way. Maybe its just me...

BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 The only thing I like about the new alignment is I think it will force baseball to make a decision about the DH. I think they will leave it as is for 2013 but eventually they will have it in both leagues or ban it all together. I used to be an opponent of the DH but now I think I would like to see it in both leagues. I've never been a fan in inter-league play but barring expansion (or contraction) we're stuck with it now. I don't like the wild card and I think the new one game deal is stupid. I mean you play 162 games (all series by the way) and then have it all come down to a single game... Baseball just isn't built for one game. It's built for series. I think the wild card should be scrapped and just go straight to the LCS like the old days.

Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Less regular season games and more playoff games/series. The one-game wild-card game is asinine. I would love to see six teams from each league make the playoffs with the top two seeds receiving first round byes and the other four compete in a best of 5 series.

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Baseball is realigning next season? You mean Atlanta and Cincinnati aren't going to be in the NL West anymore??? That sucks. I always loved the rivalries with the Giants and the Dodgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsons 178 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 The one-game wild-card game is asinine. I like the one game playoff. Home field advantage is not a big enough reward for winning the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I like the one game playoff. Home field advantage is not a big enough reward for winning the division. But the teams involved aren't division winners. The wild card has been around for nearly a decade now... The non-division winner with the 4th best record in the league gets a berth in the division series. The one game playoff does nothing more than allow the team with the 5th best record a chance to steal that berth in a single game. It makes no sense from a baseball standpoint. Only from a ratings and money standpoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
