But that might be bias from a guy who has seen like 23 of the last 25 years where the AL East has 3 or 4 strong teams and the other Divisions seldom go more than 2 deep.

It's hardly tradition to have 3 divisions, it's a sucky situation that baseball finds itself in since 1994.


MLB would be best to expand two teams and go with 4 divisions of 8. You can keep American and National League but if you propose to have DH everywhere, then it's better to have an Eastern and Western Conference


So you can:


Play the 7 teams in your division 10 times = 70
Play the 8 teams in your conference 6 times = 48
Play the 16 teams in the other conference 3 times = 48


That equals 166, 4 extra games! Doubleheaders!

6 balls now by the Jays with an expected hit percentage well over .500 and nothing to show from any of them.

I know Lynn is a good pitcher. But he pitches to contact and is getting ridiculously lucky today. So frustrating.

[Enoch Root]

and with Manoah up over 90 pitches, we know what's next

[flamingred89]

And then the Whitesox bounce a roller through the shift lol.

Back to back soft hits through the infield. Bunch of ####ing horseshoes.

[Karl]

The White Sox. Fackers

[flamingred89]

I'm going to drive myself nuts looking at the savant page for this game. Those 2 balls by the Whitesox with a expected hit % of .230 and .180.

[flamingred89]

Haha. Wow.

[flamingred89]

Thank ####. Vladdy finally getting a big hit.

[activeStick]

There we go

[flames_fan_down_under]

Vladdy needed that.

[KelVarnsen]

Stop. Showing. LaRussa.

[Underdog]

I'm so sick of listening to Buck. When does Rogers realize no-one wants to hear an old man yell at clouds for 3 hours.

[DoubleK]

If these donkeys could hit, they'd be unstoppable.

The infield turns two like it's nobody's business.

Such a frustrating team.

I think Buck is great - very knowledgeable and very passionate.

I don't think Pat adds anything, but whatever. Dan is awesome. Dan and Buck are awesome together.

IMO, the Jays broadcasts are among the best around baseball.

[Roof-Daddy]

Another close game, will probably turn into another close loss.

My sports teams really bring out the pessimism in me.

[flamingred89]

Another 0-2 with RISP that inning. I expect bad AB's out of Grichuk but was hoping for more from Espinal. Especially with that beautiful swing for a basehit earlier in the game.

Buck with Dan is good.

Buck with Tabler is terrible.

Honestly both combos are awesome.

We are very spoiled with our crew(s).
