This would be good for creating rivalries or adding to them as well.

Honestly, my favorite part of the whole proposal was getting to pick the team you play. That would make things more juicy when the favored team loses.


Could oyu Imagine the Yankes/Boston picking a team with 5+ game better record to avoid each other?

Lol I was thinking it the other way.

Imagine the Yankee's picking Boston to play in the first round or vice versa

I like:
-that MLB is willing to acknowledge that they need drastic changes in order to appeal to younger fans
-the idea of the best overall record being highly rewarding
-a playoff format that includes 3 game series. This is what teams have been doing all season, that's what baseball mostly is.

I question:
-How are they going to fit in all these extra games without running into weather problems in cold cities?
-What the conversion is going to be like when a sub.500 team makes the playoffs.


only fair 30 teams now and going to add 2 more Portland and chaile town

"adding a reality TV-type format"

Who's the moron who thought this wording would win people over?

Also, they should really change the way playoffs are scheduled, I'm missing more games than I can watch because they're played in the early afternoon when everyone is at work, how are they still doing this nonsense?
