Oy. Give me the days when there were 16 teams in two leagues, the teams with the best league records won the pennant and went to the WS.
They just can't stop screwing up a good thing.

Since Congress thinks they have the authority to legislate NCAA playoff berths, are we gonna have to run this by them?

It seems like they are devaluing the first 162 games.

This isn’t even good money-making. People don’t get to know the contenders, so they kill the narrative, WITHOUT adding to the number of fans, since you can only watch one game at a time.
If they’re going to keep three divisions, go back to one wild-card team, 8 total playoff teams. (One-game playoffs were also a stupid idea.)

Sounds horrible, like it is from a satire site. Every time they make changes to bring in more viewers, they just ruin it for the fans they already have.

Meh. Baseball left me at the 1994 World Series (there wasn’t one).
Then came the steroid heroes.
I used to be a huge fan.

Sounds like MLB is moving towards having a second season.
Everyone gets to play !

If they did this and expand the playoffs that much more, I hope they cut back from 162 games in the regular season.
If they keep 162 games and expanded playoffs, the world series will spill over into November and bad baseball weather every year.

Game 7 would have gone into November in one of the last couple years already.

A game where being very good is batting .300.
Wished that's they way the real world worked.

I agree with you.
They had a great game and should have just left it alone.

Leave baseball the hell alone or lose your fans.

I never forgave MLB for cutting the 1994 season short when Tony Gwynn had a credible chance to hit .400, and when a fading Don Mattingly may have had his best chance ever at a World Series ring.

Never happen - too much TV money at stake.
