Randall with the ****ed up playoff system isn't it kinda fitting that in a year where the 13th best team in baseball in the regular season wins the WOrld Series, that a manager with a losing record wins Manager of the year?
Shoot with the current format its not at all inconceivable that a team with a losing record could get a wild card or division spot in the playoffs.
Its gonna become like basketball or hockey where you don't even watch the regular season and only get interested at playoff time.
Baseball above all other sports used to be the only one I watched intently from start to finish as the regular season meant something. Not anymore.
