    Seems like that AL lead is going to disappear after last night and today. Game was fine until Dickey left at least and maybe playing at noon won't help Baltimore any either. Hutch starting on the road is going to be rough, but it does realign the rotation to be Buehrle, Price, and Estrada this weekend and Price vs. Archer will hopefully turn out better than last time. Game 1 isn't until 10/8 so keeps him on regular rest. No way Kansas City goes 4-0 so we'll see. It'll be close.

        My proposal does nothing about the playoff structure itself...purely to ensure the best teams are in the postseason and at the correct "seeds".

        It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

          Yea I understand why 3 games won't work. And after some more thinking and getting some more info. I kinda like it. I wouldn't mind it being back to back days and at the home of the 1st WC team. But like you said no more than 1 day in between the 2nd game and the division series. MLB schedules one division series from each league on the same night. For instance the Angels/Royals and Dodgers/Cardinals play the same night and then the other 2 play the next night, right? Or is it the AL plays one night and the NL the next night? Because if it's the first then give the WC winner the 2nd night of divisional games so they can get that extra day of rest or to use as a travel day.

          Also on the reseeding idea. I HATE it!!!!! Hate it!!! I like the seeding the way it is right now. It actually makes winning your division mean something as I said earlier. And I am all for that.

            Looks like AL title is in Royals hands now,despite Jays having the lead. Jays not starting Price again till playoffs. Stroman/Dickey aren't starting again either(since both pitched yesterday). Lineup today is basically the "Buffalo Blue Jays"(AAA lineup), and might be that way for multiple games to close out season.

            Royals have to finish 2 games better than the Jays to win the AL(cause Jays win tiebreaker). So if they finish 4-0,they need Jays to be 2-2 or worse. Really just see it coming down to 1 game. Whoever wins the AL, wins it by a single game.

            lol,Jays-O's game moved to 12pm today cause of bad weather conditions later on today in Baltimore. So what happens like 30 mins into the game....weather delay. The way this game is going, I wouldn't mind it just being cancelled. Hutchison is horrible on the road,and the AAA team isn't gonna do anything. Try playing in mud:

                Ya. Thats part of reason jays playing AAA team today. Bad conditions to play in. And the delay knocked both SP out of game after 1,so would've been waste start for Price.

                I hope 1-2 of tampa games feature regular lineup

                  Toronto will need to do something this weekend. The Royals are shooting themselves in the foot left and right the past month, but 2-2 is the worst I really see them going over the last 4 days.

                    2-2 is the worst,but I do see them going 3-1 in that stretch. Which means Jays just have to go 2-2(2-1 after todays game). Really doable for sure. Probably having their MLB lineup playing Friday & Saturday. So those 2 should be wins. Sunday sounds like a bench day(Buehrle might get 2 starts in 3 days just so he gets 200IP since he's 8.2IP away from it)

                        I just saw the Reds are on a 12 game losing streak. That is brutal.

                          They've started a rookie on the mound for 60 consecutive games, I think. They're something like 11-49 in those games.

                            Turns out the Red Sox almost acquired Giancarlo Stanton a few years ago, but Boston wouldn't trade. Xander Bogaerts, who the Marlins wanted.

                              Yankees clinch playoff spot. Funnier thing is how they haven't made it in 2 years,so now some headlines are like "Yankees finally back in playoffs after 2 year absence".

                              lol,Jays-O's game infront of a crowd of "18,000+"

                                Interesting comparison with Trout vs. Bryce

                                With 2 strikes where the pitcher has leverage (0-2, 1-2 or 2-2),

                                Mike Trout @ .736 OPS (.413 SLG)
                                Bryce @ .890 OPS (.515 SLG)

                                ...that's just incredible.
