MLB Changing Postseason Structure - WTF?
Abomination replied to King's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I'll forgive it if Hurl lets me send him Vanny's BBDL invite. I can't seem to reach Vanny. -
MLB Changing Postseason Structure - WTF?

They drag on in the NBA and NHL because of the absurd number of off-days during the playoff series. Some of those are three days between games. -

I don't see why not. Teams can play double headers if games are lost due to weather. You can't eliminate ALL of them, but maybe half. Don't like it? Next time you build a stadium, add a retractable roof. -

It wouldn't take too long because you're also knocking 12 games off the regular season and reducing off-days. The season would actually be shorter than it is now. The playoffs would probably be over mid-October. I personally don't like the wildcard structure, but that's just me. -

I think there's lots of things you could do regarding that. Maybe add a decent chunk of regular season TV revenue to the postseason pot for rounds beyond the first or something. I don't think it would incentivize mediocrity, at least for teams who aren't the Marlins. I still believe the best solution is 32 teams, half the teams get in, the regular season is cut back to 150 games with fewer offdays and a balanced schedule, and all playoff series are best of 7. Playoff pool money only extends to teams who make it out of the first round. I like the top seeds picking their opponent idea, so maybe add that in too. You could let selections be from either league if you want to spice it up even further. -
They could have been planning on replacing Kiki with Rengifo to cut some more salary.

I don't know if I really like best of three for all teams other than the top one in each league. I do like the idea of the top seeds picking who they want to play. -
I can't imagine that going anywhere. Normally I hate lawsuits like this, but I think the Astros deserve much more punishment than they received. It would be nice to see them have to at least squirm a little more.

I have zero problem with people using things like code breaker between games, and zero problem with the players and coaches using their own skills during the game. I have a big problem with using technology during the game to do this.

General 2020 Blue Jays Discussion Thread
Abomination replied to Bobthe4th's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I'd love to have him, but he's on an expiring contract. Unless the team felt he could be the difference in making the playoffs (unlikely), it's probably not worth it for us. I guess it depends what they feel is our equivalent to Rengifo is. -
Great job by OG there! That was a much closer game than it should have been.

General 2020 Blue Jays Discussion Thread
Abomination replied to Bobthe4th's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
He could actually be useful. We have lots of guys who can go and eat multiple innings. Having someone who's a pure lefty specialist isn't the worst idea in the world. -

Abom had starting pitching issues he wanted to address without taking away from his core bats. Lots of risk with picking up Montas and Honeywell, but it's better than sitting back and hoping Mr. Blister gets it together. My Available guys: Cooper Renfroe Small pick upgrade or something: Sanchez, Gomber, Tapia -
The code breaking would pick it up very quickly, possibly even the current batter, since they could use information from previous games too. I still agree they should have done more to switch signs or use some other system though.

Our remaining schedule is middle of the pack. http://www.tankathon.com/remaining_schedule_strength

The core is, outside of Honeywell! Fingers crossed it stays that way.
-
I can't believe I actually HAVE good starting pitching in a league.
-
Okay. I'd say we stole that one. It all counts!
-
The Pacers were making some sick shots, but we need to make it harder on them too.

Surprised no one has mentioned the big 4 team basketball trade last night. To Houston: Covington, Bell, 2nd To Atlanta: Capela, Nene To Minnesota: Beasley, Hernangomez, Turner, Vanderbilt, 1st To Denver: Green, Bates-Diop, Napier, Vonleh, 1st

BBDL has 12 trades so far in 2020

That was fun. Mahomes is so good! On another note, 7 of my 9 paid DFS lineups cashed (although nothing big) and 2 of my 4 free lineups! I lost one of the 2 failed paid lineups on Mahomes taking knees at the end of the game.

Sweet. DK sent me a survey to fill out, and gave out free entries to a contest for it. Only 8 people filled them out! Free money!

It's fascinating, both in how widespread it was, and that someone was dedicated/bored enough to sit through all the games and catalogue it.

Maybe something about what they can do to improve pitch recognition / reaction time. There's got to be more they're doing than just suggesting more reps.
