In the midst of all the recent talks adapting the designated hitter in the National League, it got me thinking. Should the MLB be worrying about this? With the replay rules and ongoing discussions about the DH, the weird MLB playoff format has been forgotten about. I know pitchers and catchers haven’t even reported, but why don’t we jump into October already?
Let’s first start with how absurd the Wild Card game is. As fun as it can be to watch a one-game series winner move on, (unless it’s the Chicago Cubs since we are all nervous the entire time), we pretty much forget how ridiculous it is.
