There's just too much of a structural issue

Six Ten

You could get close to a best if you just had a single 32-team division where each team played six games against every other team and there were no playoffs but how much less fun would that be?

Sean Dolinar

9:25

It would look like the EPL.

Dan Szymborski

I need to rewind Laureano at-bat. I swear they pronounced his last name like four different ways

Walking Stephen Piscotty

9:25

I knew I shouldn't have listened to nerdcast last night, the rest of the games are gonna be terrible now

CamdenWarehouse

Is it bad that I hate big playoff fields? I think 10/30 is too many

Dan Szymborski

9:25

It's not so bad when four teams are severely punished

Paul Thomas

9:26

The best argument for the current playoff system is that every seed line has SOME meaning-- 1st you get to face a team coming off the wild card; 2nd you get to play at home; 4th you get to host the wild card game

Dan Szymborski

9:26

STOP CITING BASES LOADED SPLIT STATS

Matt

9:26

What's the deal with re-wind? I never wound? How can I rewind?

Hugh

9:26

too many walks by severino... let's warmup the guy who has problem walking people!

Shirtless George Brett

9:26

Why you gotta call out the Royals? You could use any team from any year but no....Royals. Haha

Dan Szymborski

9:26

They're simply the most recent example

9:27

And they still have a lot of very butthurt fans if you say anything bad about them, so it's fun

White Sox fans were already acknowledging "yeah, it was lucky as crap!" by like May 2006.

Dystopian Future

You cannot rewind, but Dan is magical thus he can rewind.

Hosting the WC winner is not always the best when you have 3 divisions.

There's an argument to be made that a SABRcast should feature a live sabertooth tiger in the booth.

JimTheCarpetLintGuy

9:28

Dan, do you like inciting the anger of Royals fans?

Dan Szymborski

9:28

Naturally.

Paul Thomas

9:28

At least in theory, the WC winner should have burned their best starter... that theory may not hold up so well anymore

Teams that don’t put names on the jerseys should be contracted— make me commissioner pls

Sean Dolinar

9:29

It's 2018. Every major sports jersey should have name plates.

Dan Szymborski

9:29

Oh you're going to be way more in trouble with some fans than I am with Royals fans

Matt

9:30

Would said saber cast saber tooth, be wielding a light saber?

JimTheCarpetLintGuy

9:30

You HAVE Zipzopzoobitybop Severino right here. No other choice

Dystopian Future

9:30

Dan incites the anger of Royals fans because he's still bitter that the Royals knocked out the O's in 2014

Enable Sticky Keys on Severino

Six Ten

I kind of like no nameplates at home. It's like a weird anachronism that pretends the fans in the stadium are more important than the fans watching on TV, and that they're all part of the same community even though the players basically don't live there at all.

Dan Szymborski

9:31

Heck, I got Giants fans mad at me when I put Pence in WWE2K in a Giants jersey that doesn't have the name but gave him a name

Omega Red

9:31

I think Severino should actually zurp and flurp.

Dan Szymborski

9:31

NOT AN OPTION

JimTheCarpetLintGuy

9:31

If the Yanks get another run here, Severino stays. If not, he gets the ol' hook

Miguel Hot Corner Andujar

9:31

Anyone familiar with reliable stats that predict postseason success? Or is it mostly random?

Dan Szymborski

9:32

I keep trying to find relevance. Other than top-heavy teams doing better relatively, good teams simply do better

Matt

9:32

Also, no names on the jersey makes the "authentics" more distinguishable from the "replicas"

Carson Cistulli

Pardon me, I'm here just to conduct our nightly Customer Satisfaction Survey. Fill out your ballot for a chance to win a Carnival Cruise to Bridgeport, CT. (Price and participation varies a lot.)

that's a win for the cubs

9:32

severino already yank

What in the world happened to the 1B position?
