Especially last night 😁 In all seriousness, I think it should be just one game...you didn't win your division, so we're giving you a shot...Mano y mano...1 game... Look at the NCAA tournament and how exciting that is... Nah, they should expand the playoffs to 8 teams per league. 1st round is a 3 game series...

If that were the case this year, a sub .500 team would have made the NL playoffs... 🧐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stlboiler23 Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 The fact that the Braves had the 5th best record in the NL yet didn’t have to play in the wild card game is bogus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has happened quite a bit since divisional play began. But I get the point. Product of being in a weak division. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember one year in the NFL playoffs that the Colts was a wild card at 12-4 and had to go on the road against a 8-8 Chargers team 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the NCAA tournament and how exciting that is... That’s different everybody is single elimination there and yeah they didn’t win their divisions. Both both teams won more games than the braves. Heck the Dodgers won 18 more game the braves. I think it needs restructured at least. Division winners get a spot with the next two best records also getting in. Worst two records playing the single elimination game. So would have been Braves/Cards last night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
