team with the lowest overall win pct has the highest postseason win pct. (of course, they have a small sample size for postseason games) Basically, they had a couple of years when they went to the free agent market, spent an unsustainable amount of money, and won the World Series (when Cleveland choked). They also won the World Series in 2003 on the back of Josh Beckett.

a perfectly functional reason not to like the expanded playoffs. Four games a day is overkill. One is plenty. The days when all we had were the LCS and the World Series provided plenty of baseball.

The days when all we had were the LCS and the World Series provided plenty of baseball. there are more than four games every day of the regular season. if it really bothers you so much, then don't watch the playoffs until they get to the world series or whatever fits your overly finicky sensibilities.

sorry i meant four games a day on tv. and again, I say that there are four (or more) games a day on TV just about every day of the regular season.

Cleveland won a 15-inning pitcher's duel 1-0 to move on. As a long-suffering fan of this team, that was nerve-wracking.

Though actually, the Cubs were the better team that year. It was surprising that Cleveland was up 3-1 to begin with. Still hurts, though.

back to back strikeouts for the mariners in the top of the eighth trailing 9-6 but bases loaded double by JP Crawford with two outs ties the game at 9!

Yeah Mariners came back from 8-1 to tie the game at 9-9 going into the bottom of the 8th.
JP Crawford hit a literal hospital ball into the hole between the infield and the outfield that cleared the bases and sent George Springer off the field with what seems like an obvious concussion. Springer had his head wacked by the forearm of his teammate.
Then Toronto gave Julio Rodriguez an intentional pass to pitch to Ty France, and it worked, because France struck out.
Toronto brought their closer into the 8th inning with bases loaded and no outs and the score 9-6, and it almost worked. He got two outs before Crawford parachuted that ball into the hole in the middle of the field. Then he got France.

That was an absolutely apocalyptic play where the Jays allowed a bases-clearing blooper that caused two of their defenders to collide in the outfield.

adam frazier go ahead RBI double! 10-9 Mariners! Announcers were busy second-guessing Servise for not pinch-running for his catcher on second base because Frazier is a singles hitter, and then Frazier hit a double into the corner and makes them look silly.
