September 7, 20205 yr Philadelphia's bullpen is a mess. They were up 6-0 vs NYM, Wheeler got hit around somewhat and it was 6-4, they brought in Phelps and McNeil hit a 3 run homer into the upper deck.

September 12, 20205 yr Matt Chapman out for season. Potentially good for the Sox, but bad for baseball. A’s have only used 34 players this season.
September 14, 20205 yr And the Wilpon's are keeping the TV rights. This is a good time to remind everyone there is no money in owning a baseball team.
September 16, 20205 yr If they do this permanently, it might as well be throwing 30 teams into a lottery machine and having one ball spit out-"that's your champion" Go read Dan Szymborski's twitter thread on this.........he nails it.

I’m over the expansion this year even though it’s proven to be a failure. If they don’t have enough smart people to realize that 5 of 15 currently, or 6 of 16 in the future (if they add two teams) is more than acceptable, then I’ll be rooting for attendance and regular season ratings to plummet, because I think that’s what will happen.

What they're(the owners) are actually doing is saying: "We don't want to spend enough money to win 90+ games anymore" This actually sucks, because I am and always was for straight leagues where the best 2 teams make the playoffs in each league. I am for the pre-1994 format. Less is more when it comes to the playoffs, in both baseball and football. Edited September 16, 20205 yr by Jack Parkman

Expanded postseason is terrible for player salaries. Yeah, it feels good to make the playoffs, but it’s supposed to be hard to make the playoffs in baseball! It supposed to feel great when you make it, and it’s supposed to hurt when you come up just short after six months of almost daily games. That’s the fan experience. You don’t just let every .500 or possibly under .500 team in after 162. Ugghh!! Edited September 16, 20205 yr by flavum
September 16, 20205 yr Can I throw this into the mix.....doesn't the expanded playoffs favor the teams like the Sox that cannot afford the $200M payroll? I hate the idea of this but think the schedule should be reduced to 140 games and games should only be 7 innings long.
