    Oops! Sorry. I got my rounds mixed up!

    Wild card = 5-game series
    LDS = 7-game series
    LCS = 7-game series

    I wish they would've built one. The Twins and the city of Minneapolis when Target field was built were too cheap to put one in. Now it would take essentially building a new stadium to get one on the existing Target Field.

    US Bank actually has a baseball configuration but the MLB doesn't think it meets their standards so the Twins won't play there.

    I think the only teams whining about the format are the ones struggling with it (Dodgers & Braves). I don't see any Astros fans blaming the format because we lost a home game in a season in which we had a losing record at home. The format, for the number of teams they have making the playoffs, is the right one.

    You could just get rid of all the off days prior to the ALDS. More like the regular season.

    One easy adjustment should be to start the DS a day earlier. Off day Monday then WC games Tuesday-Thursday. DS starts Friday. Any WC series needing a game 3 on Thursday should be an afternoon start to give the winning team a little extra travel time. Want a day off before the DS...win in 2.

    Don't blame them given how they are manhandling the O's.

    So nice of Milo to let the play play itself out and not yell over the top of everything.

    Totally unlike that idiot Vin Scully.
