The postseason is an overreactor’s dream. On the National League side, there were three 100-win teams entering the tournament and all three were eliminated in their first series. The Padres took down two of them and the Phillies the other, so now they’re battling for the right to go to the World Series. Of course, that led to all sorts of conversations about the regular season being meaningless now and all of that. And yes, expanding the postseason dilutes the regular season and reduces teams who were dominant over the long season to a short series where anything can happen.
Lesky’s Notes: Go National League Team!
