Braves earned the right to play in a 5 games series...

Totally agree. No need for this one game bs.

Noles1992 · 10-05-12, 07:11 PM

This whole new format is garbage. the higher seated teams starting on the road is totaly dumb

crackerjack · 10-05-12, 07:15 PM

I had no idea until this week the wild cards played a one game playoff. Most retarded thing I've ever heard...play your heart out for 162 games and then it's down to one game where anything can happen. I'm at a loss...

While I agree the one game thing is total BS, they had their chance for a 5 game series last year and they totally pissed down their leg and choked it away in the final month of the season.

The Yankees have the No 1 seed in the American League and they still don't know who they're going to play....something doesn't meet the smell test

wtf does that have to do with this?

Regular season is important, there fault for not winning division.

ttwarrior1 · 10-05-12, 07:20 PM

2 of 3 would be better,

BigDofBA · 10-05-12, 07:23 PM

Win your damn division if you don't want to play a 1 game playoff to get in.

20 years ago neither one of these teams would have had a chance.

It sucks, but I think the whole idea sucked to begin with. Also, the lower seed gets the first two games at home. WTF is that?

firedawg · 10-05-12, 07:25 PM

not the point you dumb prikk

GOIRISH · 10-05-12, 07:26 PM

Darkside Magick · 10-05-12, 07:28 PM

zoo youk · 10-05-12, 08:01 PM

Jerm3085 · 10-05-12, 08:05 PM

Braves are known for their chokes in post season anyways, whatever

jjgold · 10-05-12, 08:07 PM

I never knew it was a 1 game series until yesterday

What stupidity

Cuse0323 · 10-05-12, 08:08 PM

If they're gonna do dumb shit like this, knock off 3 games from the long ass season and let the two wildcard teams at least play a 3 game series.

iifold · 10-05-12, 08:10 PM

Manager knew it was a one-game playoff coming in...

He chose not to use his best pitcher...

He chose to call for a bunt with 1st and 3rd and one out with the pitcher on deck...

Braves don't deserve shit...

You are clueless

dlunc3 · 10-05-12, 08:27 PM

they shoulda won the division if they wanted a series.. simple as that... they are lucky there is a wild card at all

The Giant · 10-05-12, 08:28 PM

New rule:

The top seed should have to win one game, and the second seed should have to win two.
