Wore my Dodgers hat the other day. When I was ready to stop being a Tigers fan. LOL. Glad the Dodgers are moving on. That Terry Francona got the Reds into the playoffs is a testament to how great a manager is.

It really was a glorious day for baseball.
LA got their pitching right in the last month, so they are going to be extremely tough.
Hope someone eliminates them.
But I still think WC 2 and 3 are an abomination, and it shits on the grind of 162.

I agree. Should be 3/5 and every round after that should be 4/7. I actually want 8 teams from each league like in every other sport. The more baseball the better. If 4 more teams are in the hunt for playoff spots, how can it not help attendance throughout the whole leage. I loved the covid year playoffs. They should have kept that and gotten rid of that runner on 2nd bullshit in the 10th inning.

You mean 8 teams total or 8 from the AL and NL each?

8 from each.

8 from each.
I respectfully disagree.
The way baseball works, any team can beat any team in a small sample. It's baseball math.
If you bother to play 162 games, and then give an 81 win team a chance to move on vs a 95 win team by winning two games, it rips apart the absolute grind it takes to play well over 162.
The 162 has to matter. The more teams let in goes against that.

I respect your valid opinion but I still have to disagree. Playoff baseball is amazing.

It IS amazing.
Which is why it should be extremely hard to participate in it.
Hope we see each other in the ALCS.

I don’t follow baseball. What’s the second base in the 10th inning that thing?

In an effort to avoid multiple extra innings in games, each team starts the 10th inning with the batter who made the last out in the 9th inning on 2nd base.

What an utterly boring sport.

WTF. I don't follow baseball closely, so I didn't even realize that had happened. That sucks.

You don’t watch it anymore because it’s utterly boring. Imagine a four hour sport game that is so slow moving and unexciting.

So whos on first base?

The more exciting and violent sports have made baseball a shell of what it used to be.

I’m not sure if I am a fan of the best of 3 wild card.
I do like the one and done
But October baseball is great.
NFL is in the thick of the season as well

The players actually like it, because it doesn't drag out extra inning games.
I'm not a fan, but I get it.
They don't do it in the playoffs though.

With both college and pro basketball starting soon. A sports bettor's dream.

Imagine thinking it's a four hour game.
The average length of nine-inning MLB games continues to fall well below the three-hour mark. Nine-inning games during the 2025 season have, on average, clocked in at 2 hours, 38 minutes through Thursday, marking the third straight season in which the average game time was 2:40 or shorter.
Epically uninformed
Monster misinformation to belabor a point
Brutal ignoring of data

I just googled it. Im getting between 2 hours and 40 minutes to 3 hours.
Still too long to watch. Its about as exciting as watching paint dry.

I can tolerate going to the stadium and watching a game while eating a 10 dollar hotdog and 10 dollar beer (or whatever the price). And even then, after the 6th inning, I want to go home.

You’re thinking of golf.

the kid that started for yankees pitched a game of games 2 and 4 seam fastballs avg 98/100 per pitch 8 innings very justin verlander like ,,all he needed was 1 run they scored 4 ..

Ohtani is a true generational talent. first 50/50 man and he continues to astound in 2 key elements of the game. that being said GO PHILS.
-

Agree.
Give batters 10 seconds to set up or get a strike.
Give pitchers 10 seconds to throw or get a ball.
I fell asleep at the last game I attended; it was at Angel Stadium in 1994.
I was watching football for a while because the streaming service had "watch key plays."
-
Major League Baseball baseball. :D
-
Definitely not boring, but obvious to most SF is clueless when it comes to sports by now..
The additions to their structure have been a success because I do agree the old 4 hour games became boring. They were not that long before 2000 or so.
Baseball isn’t perfect, but neither is football with all the flags.

Golf is worse than baseball, but baseball is pretty boring.

They implemented a pitch clock a few years ago.

Yes. You might as well watch paint dry. It’s probably more exciting.

Lol. Not only did I play sports, I actively watched it. Then, as I got older, I became bored of rooting for a winner. These days I watch football (mainly playoffs and SB) and hockey. Hockey is my favorite sport. But all in all, I find most sports boring after a certain amount of time, unless it’s the playoffs or SB or Stanley cup. With that said, baseball is horribly boring. After one inning I want to go to sleep.

About time the Yankees have nurtured some young players, and traded them away for overpriced older guys that do shit for the team after one year if that.

I did not know, thanks. :)
Still boring.

7th round pick.
Rice was a 12th.
Cool to see kids like that get a shot and flourish.

I haven't been to any sporting events in over a decade. It's better to watch at home.
