2023 CWS

. . . there is always room for a fix . . . just think there would have been no college baseball the last two nights without he fix . . .

Nobody had a problem with it the for the first 56 years. it only became necessary after baseball became a revenue producer.

Absolutely the baseball purest have always had a problem with it when it was a single game take all. Which is why they changed it. The CWS has always been well attended and a money maker. That had nothing to do with the reason for the change. Heck even the LHSAA has changed their playoffs to 2 out of 3 because it’s the way the game is meant to be played.

So a team could have one loss in the entire ncaa tournament and not win the natty and lose it to a team with 3 losses.

It would suck, just like 1 losing to a 16, or a 2 losing to a 15. Let's give them a do over just to make it fair. Meanwhile, back on the farm. I tell you what. Can we at least install a 10 run mercy rule then?

. . . no . . . get enough pitching to get the other team out . . .

So riddle me this oh sage of the page. What treasures did you gleen from these last two games except that on any given day, any given team in baseball can suck?

So one team gets 3 do overs? And the other one doesn’t? Your point doesn’t make any sense. In a one game take all, it could just as easily been the 24-4 game. You play series all year long, it should end in a series. It’s double elimination the whole way, every team should have to lose at least twice to be eliminated.

Chief, they've played a whole season & it comes down to two teams & one game. No way your reasoning is ever gonna convince me that there is ever more drama than that. If they want to be fair, they should reseed the teams after the super regionals. that would eliminate a lot of the previous problems you mentioned. The bottom line is the more games you add, the more drama you remove.

[Sonsissymia]

Now that I think about it, you are correct. Nothing like following the drama of a game one walk off home run in the 11th inning with 24-4 & 10-2 classic beat downs.

no walk-offs in the top of an inning, brother. florida up and down bottom of the 11th.

The problem is people show up the last 3 days of a baseball season and want to change everything to football. You play series in baseball, there is a reason “midweek games don’t matter”. Baseball is doing just fine without convincing you of anything.MLB plays 165 games and play 3,5 and 7 game series to decide the championship

165 games? I thought it was 81 home and 81 away games per regular season. Has this changed?
