David Cone bought up the Japanese League Two Wild-Card system, and I kinda like it:ohhh:

The Wild Cards play a 2-game series, the team with the better record gets both home games.

The home team has to win only 1 game to advance, while the road team has to win both.

That is much better than this 1-game gimmick, and I hope Manfred adopts this real soon.

Edit: Correction: It's the Korean League.

To be real any chance the pirates had at making a run got fukked via the current wild card system. They made the playoffs three times but two of the times they got buzzsawed by Baumgarner and Arietta in the play-in. So on one hand I'm definitely for this.

On the other hand, the owner is still ridiculously cheap as fukk (Google Juan Nicasio for the latest example) and just extended their overrated gm and coach, so honestly fukk em
:yeshrug:

Who's gonna take a rental on JD the gawd for the rest of the season? Dude will have a Cespedes-like impact if he gets moved.

His money in Detroit went to bums like Jordan Zimmermann instead of him. :to:
He was better than Cespedes. 29 HRs in 59 games. :wow:

Gonna go down as an all-time great/terrible trade. I still can't believe Al took that trash ass deal for him and that nobody else was interested in him. Analytics fukked up the game. :mindblown:

45 HRs in 116 games this season. :damn:
