Actually if I was running baseball they’d start a week later and end the season at least two weeks earlier. And I’d accomplish that by shaving about 20 games off the boring-ass regular season. 2 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd get the World Series to be exclusively the October Classic again and that's enough to sell me on that idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that gets fixed by starting the regular season a week earlier. Also, MLB needs to lock down hotels in each city so you don't have the BS of the Guardians being spread across town the night before the deciding game of the series. The NFL wouldn't let that happen, MLB should be able to ensure that as well. The other drawback of the condensed series is that it puts a drain on pitching staffs. This was one of the harder postseasons to navigate as a manager, because you couldn't really ride your 1 and 2 (and 3 if you have a good one) and I can't recall seeing so many bullpen games in championship series'. Usually a team's loser players just kinda disappear in the postseason, but I think pretty much everybody - even some total trash jabroni named Brad Hand - has had to make an appearance or two. 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

I've never heard that besides simply that they're the opponent so let's rally against them. I don't think a single person is underestimating who the Phillies are facing.

The NFL wouldn't let that happen, MLB should be able to ensure that as well. The compressed schedule was primarily due to the series attached at the end of the regular season because of the lockout. Pushed the end of the season to Wednesday instead of Sunday, and MLB said they didn't want the World Series to go beyond the November 5th Game 7 day as already scheduled. I think next year the Wild Card round will begin on Tuesday which will allow other off days to be back in subsequent series'. 1 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously..kudos to the Padres, they made this an insane roller coaster of emotions, especially those final 2 games. This team from MANY did not expect this...myself included. Heck, almost missing Postseason totally (so thanks to the Brewers also for the help) And when we did, I felt good about St Louis, but Padres or even the Dodgers...nope But to get to the WS, no way did I expect that! - That Bryce HR sealing the Pennant, no words! So...right now, Im actually thankful the games don't start unil Fri, my nerves need a brief break, lol. It's just fun right now, not only baseball...by MLS Union one win away from Championship, Eagles still undefeated - (home game against Steelers the atmosphere...Kelce perhaps firing up home crowd more COULD help?) , Flyers...well, hmm. Sixers ...um....ok, I have hope for 76ers, its early..lol Now beating Houston, whew...IDK!?? They look absolutely unstoppable right now! Our starters, Wheeler, Nola, etc MUST go deep into the game, out middle relief bullpen...is clearly not stronger (looking at you Brad Hand, this guy is a dumper fire!) to hold leads or let opposing teams just blow it open is a concern. But again...Phillies somehow keep surprising us so theres a chance, maybe slight....but a chance! Phillies simply must be perfect at all costs.

So to no surpise, social media blew up asking "what is the song!!?" - Many mentioned Robyn, which is true...she sang the original years ago. Others stating this Calum Scott (I never heard of the guy...lol) NO idea why, or the meaning of the lyrics for a "fight song", right now it's catchy, I admit...but in time I may get tired of it soon. lol*I remember vividly Tag Team "Whoop, There It Is" was the Phillies anthem was back in 1993 when they clinched the pennant. Currently #2 in Apple Music for Philly area, shocked it's not number 1...yet.

Digby Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Didn't the Red Sox use "Dancing on My Own" as their "anthem" during their playoff run last year? Though I think that was the (superior) original by Robyn. And they probably weren't the first considering the song is what, 15 years old now. Everyone needs a quirky feelgood story though.

If it's Houston vs New York and series is tied 3-3 and they're yelling "we want Houston", then maybe it's different. But it was actually Houston that they were going to play (I know it technically wasn't official, but it was essentially a done deal.) And it's fans. Come the F on. It's harmless.
