I noticed that. That is a flaw right now. Next year postseason have to be better. Day off between home and home. I prefer the roster is set for both wild card game and division series.

It should go by record, not what you qualified for the playoffs as. Best record vs worst record. Not 1-4.

Shut up. You just want us to face Verlander twice. Go jack off to RA Dickey's 20 wins.

NFL does that.
If I remember correctly, MLB will go back to 15/15 leagues. If so, best record vs worst record would work there.

Not really. I didn't even think of specific matchups. It's just smart theory. I haven't jerked off to anything Mets in months.

Angels had more wins, who cares.

vs better opponents, to. Wish they'd take this into account. Miggy got to face the WORST pitching staffs in the AL(9th, 10th, 13th, 14th ranked staffs) while Trout had to face the 2nd, 4th and 7th ranked staffs. It will all be ignored though since Miggy got the TRIPLE CROWN!!!!

It's amazing that Trout is even in the discussion for MVP after someone had a Triple Crown year. That should tell you everything you need to know.

Good god thank you. The West has two teams better than the first place team in the central and 3 better than the second place team.

Trout was way worse against AL Central teams than AL West teams, if you want to bring oppenents into the equation.

That was my other line of thinking.. he clearly could have played if they made a big deal out of it.
Sucks for STL and that umps late call..
