MLB allowed for rampant steroid use when Bonds set the record, so all those numbers count. Unless we're all liars and pretend like only batters cheated.

The new Yankees Stadium is a little sandbox. You hit a little fly to right and you get a HR. Should Judge get a * next to all of his HRs to right in that shitty stadium?

No, you play it as it lies.

For your information Judges shortest home run to right field would have been out in any park.
My work here is done.

WC round needs to be best of 5, after that best of 7 rest of the way.

So fucking lame, the Mets and Braves battle it out for months. Both win over 100 games. Then the Phillies make it the furthest.

All of these extra wild card teams is lame. Baseball was nice that it wasn't like hockey/basketball, where you simply have to not suck to make the playoffs.

Should still be 4 teams in each league, and both series are 7 games. 3 and 5 games is too small for baseball.

But it will never go back. If anything, more teams will get added.

. I'd even through NFL in there. No difference between 14 teams and 16 IMO. The early playoff games for the most part are chock full of mediocrity. I will say for hockey even a 1-4 match up usually goes 6 games but I always thought baseball had the best playoffs in the past.

If the Padres don't win the World Series, this baseball season was a disaster.

[sdskinsfan2001]

This is the grossest World Series ever.

Looking forward to tonight. Kind of torn about pulling for Phillies or Trey Mancini. I might go to game 5 if it happens.

No worries. Braves are my favorite team. But from living in SD I always pulled the Padres when they weren't playing the Braves.

Funnily enough, the last time and only the 2nd time they made it to the WS, they knocked the Braves out on the road there. But that was before I moved down there. So I didn't hold it against them because I wasn't around to hear about it.

Shockingly, I'm rooting for the Phillies over the Astros. It would be funny to have 2 straight NL East fans beat them in the World Series. And the Nationals beat them too. The Astros must hate the NL East.

Phillies goin for an all time cinderella story. Unreal.

It's the only redeeming part of this storyline lol. Would be hilarious if the Astros can't be the NL East.
