I didn't check is he gone yet. His blunders cost the Yanks 2 seasons now with a combined about 25 games that meant a lot.Boone and the entire coaching staff needs to be fired.

This postseason sucks. Not interested in watching a bunch of recent winners and Atlanta in the CS lol couldn't go worse so far IMO
It sucks that one of LA/SF won’t make it past the DS and the friggin Braves are on the verge of b2b CS’ while barely surviving the NLE.
Have the Wildcard go three games. A teem having a great season should not just be knocked out by a team having a subpar season and just making it into the Wildcard. Everybody has a bad day. One game should not decide it. I'm not sure it would have done the Yankees any good since the inconsistency was their whole season.Don’t expand the playoffs, tweak it. Make the wild card best of two (ie lower seed has to win twice, higher seed just once), the division series best of seven and reseed after the wild card round, everyone’s problems with this years playoffs is addressed.
Baseball probably will expand the playoffs, but if you want to add a third wild card and have them play the worst division winner in another best of two I can’t complain. Anything else is just silly (going to seven teams, making a division winner play a best of one, giving the top seeds a full bye week plus with a best of three wild card/first round, the gimmicky pick your opponent stuff). They will wind up picking one of the silly options for money though.

i'm not a baseball type guy but i follow it enough. any diehards on here can tell me what they think of batters being able to steal first? I think its a tremendous idea but i saw mlb scrapped it in the single a level
If they can steal from 1st then they should be able to steal from the on deck circle… now that might make me start to watch some games again.
thats what i meant. stealing first if there is a passed ball by the catcher they could take off for first base. it kinda makes sense and surprised that wasn't in the rules from the start. why can you just take off for first if theres a passed ball on a swinging strike?
Referring back to this comment from last month, but while I'd normally agree with you I think the one game Wild Card knockout actually serves a good purpose: it's a penalty for the WC teams, since the answer to "this is unfair!" is "then you should've won your division." Then there's the logistical reason why they keep it to one game: if there's a day or two where they need to play tiebreaker games, then play best of 3s, at some point you're pushing the World Series deeper into November, which really shouldn't be the goal given how inhospitable a lot of markets are for baseball as it gets colder outside.For a sport like baseball where small sample sizes are so unrepresentative, it seems unfair for the season to come down to one game. The wild card rounds absolutely should be 3 games at a minimum.
