A Look Back -- Quality of MLB Season

[Texsox 652]

Before the season started we discussed too few games, expanded playoffs, rules changes, legitimate WS winner, and a host of other issues.

It felt like a real season. The champs deserved it. Overall I'm glad they played. With just a couple bumps in the road I believe it went better than most of us predicted.

Considering the way it started with the. Cardinals and Marlins, it turned out well. The two best teams played for the championship, and the best team won.
The Sox finally having a team worth caring about was definitely a huge bonus. Looking forward to next year already.

Yeah definitely turned out well and the dodgers were a deserving champion. Really no asterisk here as the post season was actually a bit longer and the dodgers won their division like 7 years in a row and lead this year again by some margin so making the playoffs was never in question.

However of course the playoffs have a luck component and if the playoff format stays like this eventually we could see a sub .500 team winning the WS so I would not like it if it stays like this.

My only complaint was that they allowed the #2 division team in over higher winning percentage teams.

The Astros - while doing well in the post season - should not have been awarded the #4-6 seed with a barely over .500 record.
