    MLB rushed the current format

    Decided to bring this one game crap and allowing shittier record team to host first two games was not a good move. Baseball will learn that sometimes if you leave things alone you are better off. Don't make changes when you don't need them.

    Agree --- best team gets swept - they only get 1 gate.

    yeah the 2-3 format for the first round this year, is nuts. they could of waited an extra year to put the wild card round into place, but they voted on it and owners accepted it.

    next year will go back to the 2-2-1 format.

    i think the extra wild card round is great for baseball, it brings a ton of more teams into the playoff race in september, and it makes winning the division more important then it ever has been since the wild card was invented in the 90s.

    i feel bad for the braves. they won the legit wildcard this year after collasping last year,and they were forced to play a one game playoff with a team that won like 6? fewer games. anything can happen in one game.

    i didn't think the heads of mlb could get more retarded than making the all star game mean home field advantage in world series, but they found a way.

    phuck this.

    personally i love it. in fact i think they should add more teams to the playoffs.

    and the new worst record starts at home gives the underdogs a chance. From a fan and
    betting stand point it really stirs the pot and allows for some major upsets.

    Like the 1 game Wildcard round. However, do think they should go to a 2-2-1 format for the second round.

    Should have let baltimore and st louis have home field yesterday as well. Next year the nl wild card game will have option of dh as well.

    I didn't like it at first, but it is obvious the 2 best teams moved on this year ... Rangers were slumping and Cardinals are just a better postseason team. MLB did something right for once

    I do agree with the 5 game format though ... should be 2-2-1
