Heck you only need one, maybe two front line pitchers to take the entire post season. See Baumgartner a few years ago or Johnson and Shilling for the D-Backs.

And it's back to being a ball game.

Both these teams can hit. Not over until the final out.

Apparently this has been a thing for Greinke lately?

Yeah, that's my issue with it though. It'd be the equivalent of having an entire NFL playoff game decided by how good of a center you have. I just don't like a game that's normally decided by how a pitching rotation does randomly decided by one guy in the "playoffs."

But anyway, clearly the game's not over yet...

Yeah, the best teams in thr league barely win 60% of the time, one game just doesn't make sense.

It's not really about the one game. It is about keeping interest in the league during the dog days and after football has returned. The D-Backs and Rockies would not have had much to play for the last couple of weeks with the way the Dodgers ran away with the division. Now their fans were excited to go to games into late September.

Nobody is arguing against the WC. The issue is the one game format. Although, personally, I have no problem with it.

Yeah, all I want is a series. Three games is fine. They can even keep them all in one location.

Drop the season to an even 160 games and it can work perfectly.

Whoot! Go home team.
