This is good. Will offer some flexibility of rosters in between series if its needed.

2 weeks to go in the regular season.

No excuses allowed anymore. Time to put some W's on the board.

MMP to host one of the NLDS matchups.
And, if we make it to the ALDS, we may get to play in Dodger Stadium

Would love the Dodgers to play at MMP and allow fans in the playoffs. I'd buy a ticket to heckle and boo them all game

We could also turn off the power in their locker room/dugout so they can't cheat

So no off days in the Wild Card Series, DS or CS. That is potentially a lot of days in a row

Pitching depth and the line up matters a whole lot more now. You won't be able to ride your top 1-2 guys as much as before.

I figure you need 3 starters for the WC, 4 for the DS and maybe all 5 for the CS

No off days seems like a really bad idea. Which unfortunately is about par for MLB.

Can't believe ARod was actually praising how MLB has handled everything this season.

Thank you. It blew my mind when he said it.

He needs to stick to staying in studio like he was on Fox.

Isn't it no days off only if you go all possible games in a series? Like if we win in 2, and the team we are matchup up with in the ALDS wins in 3.... we get a day off.

So basically don't go to game 3 of the wild card, 5 of the LDs or 7 in the LCS and you will get off days. Seems like a team that gets an easy ALDS draw and can sweep has a HUGE advantage moving forward

There has to be days off built in between series. If the Wild Card series start 9/29 it would look like this even if every series goes max and there is just 1 day off in between.

WC
9/29 - 10/1

Off
10/2

ALDS/NLDS
10/3 - 10/7

Off
10/8

ALCS/NLCS
10/9 - 10/15

Off
10/16
10/17
10/18
10/19

World Series
10/20 - TBD

I assume there will be 2 days off in between series to make that schedule work.

WC
9/29 - 10/1

Off
10/2
10/3

ALDS/NLDS
10/4 - 10/8

Off
10/9
10/10

ALCS/NLCS
10/11 - 10/17

Off
10/18
10/19

World Series
10/20 - TBD

I have no problem with teams being forced to use their whole rosters in critical games

That's a good looking lineup

Looks like Jomboy just saw this picture from an Astros guy and decided to use it for his own content.

Excellent sleuthing.

Dusty's has had enough of these off days

---

now that's what I'm talking about.

the franchise finally looks ready to win

So everyone plays every game on fake grass. And half of the NLDS and all of the NLCS will. That must thrill the NL teams that basically never see it and will never have seen that surface or field ever before. Such a MLB kind of decision

Mariners get the day off.

San Francisco has better air quality right now? You'd think it would be worse

Son has a tball game tonight at 7:15, so y'all will have to pick up the slack. I expect y'all to will the Astros to 8 runs by the end of the 3rd.

Great news for teams with deep pitching. Rays and As off the top of my head

nice play by Tuck to start the game

Urquidy pumping in the gas at 95mph

Friendly call on that 1-1 pitch

Nice start by Urquidy.
