Big playoff change being batted around, possibly for 2022.

Seven teams per league - the three division winners plus four wild cards. Team with the best record gets a bye past the wild card round.

The real fun part? Second best record gets to choose its wild card opponent between #5 through #7, then #3 gets their pick after that, then #4 gets whoever's left.

This sh—t should be set on fire, buried, and salted, dug up in 10 tears and fired into the sun.

Dusty Baker wants MLB to step in and prevent bean balls from connecting with Astros' players this season.

Astros fans got mad and started a boycott hashtag. I’m guessing some Houston managers/franchisees said something because today BDubs came back with this lame response, which I believe is actually more of an apology than any of the Astros gave.

After the initial thing, and the punishment, and the canned responses, ok, we're done here. But now the Astros are continuing this charade, and the more they do this, the more I want them gone. Own your sh* you a*holes.

Oh, our cheating didn't affect the Series....

BULL SH*.
 
Re: MLB 2019 and Beyond: Something Something Three True Outcomes....

The player "apologies" are just making things worse. Correa saying Altuve had a half-finished tattoo? SERIOUSLY? Not one person on this planet believes that.

The players are right to be ****ed, and I love all the interviews where they're honest about it. Bryant had a really good one as well. They have to find a way to punish the players or the team as a whole, otherwise, you're depending on the moral compass of players to not cheat. And look where that got us now.

The tattoo thing was beyond a pathetic excuse (having a few tatts myself). Saying that the cheating didn't affect the outcome? Bwahahahahahaha. While it's a bit old-fashioned, I hope a few Houston Asterisks get plunked this season.

They may not as Manfred has come out saying he'll punish those who plunk Astros more severely.

I want to boycott them for caving, but I don't go there. Oh well.
