[QUOTE="the juiceman cometh, post: 1733292, member: 747321"] I don't love the 12 team playoff but it is certainly better than the 14 team playoff the owners initially proposed. I get the argument that it will devalue the regular season, but think there's as strong an argument to the opposite proposition as with a couple more playoff spots, there will be a few more teams in playoff contention down the stretch. A lot of years lately you've had situations where there are something like 3 teams in contention for 2 playoff spots and nobody else has anythjng to play for with a month to go. I think the main thing is I'm thrilled we will have baseball this season. I really don't know if baseball could have survived this lockout dragging on. There's a lot of promise there with the crop of young stars in the MLB there, hopefully the MLB can capitalize on guys like Tatis, Soto, Vlad Jr., Wander and Acuna to bring young fans back in.
