but you just made my point for me.what if the As go home after one game?
No team wants to go out after one game, and that is the great drawback of not winning the division. If the A's do not want to go out after one game, they should try to win the division. Same with the Yankees. If they can't win the division, they have to face the drawback. With this format, baseball is still able to put the premium on winning the division. Unlike NBA or NHL, which I never look at the division standing anymore as I just go straight to the conference standing. In addition, with one game, the wildcard team that move on is also put a disadvantage of setting up the rotation for the next series on without the ace a chance of pitching 2 games. The bottom line is to put on as much disadvantage as possible for the non-division winners.
I look at this stance like- you may have good grades at Penn - but you don't have good enough grades to transfer to Harvard, Yale and Brown - so we're going to give this clown from a 2 year Penn State community campus a scholarship and will let him transfer to the Ivy League and join our
eliteness..........
screw the kid from Penn - not our fault he was in an IVY League school too - but just didn't measure up to the cream of the crop in 'our league'.....
Why must the As and Yankees be Punished like my example from the Penn student above?
what if one division is far far far more superior than the others in baseball?
