WiggumFan267 07/24/20 1:56:46 PM #30:	this charade going on this season is not "baseball". Too far removed with all these stupid rule changes and gimmicks. Hopefully they're all just for the short season, and don't propagate forward, though I know that's unlikely. But here's hoping. In the meantime, hard to take any value out of this season seriously. I'll still watch for entertainment, since I still love the Mets broadcasters and I love our players, but putting very little stock or long-term meaning into any winner or accomplishments other than whatever bit of personal satisfaction I might get from like deGrom winning another Cy Young or something. Like even if the Mets were to somehow win the WS (they won't), it would feel supremely cheap and I would not really be my excited self for it. Or if I would, definitely not even close to how I would feel if they did it "normally". Really this whole season is just a joke for me and I'm just gonna take it at face value, and hope that next year goes normally since 2021 will probably be the final year before any of these stupid rule changes take permanent effect. The league-wide DH, the runner on 2nd base, or the expanded playoff system implemented on a permanent basis would kill most of the passion I have for the sport. I'd still like it, but I would care significantly less (which I guess is still a lot, but not a TON, yknow?). I also think the 3 batter minimum is stupid, but wouldn't kill my interest. Though that rule does need some serious tweeking. You can't leave a struggling reliever out to dry for 3 batters. That probably slows down the game anyway. Anyway, I probably won't be posting here (as) much for the season, at least not as much for stuff about the season itself. But that could change, you know me. Just know that no matter what, if I'm normally at a 10000/10 for baseball fandom, this season is like a 9/10. Also, they shouldn't be playing at all anyway. It's a bad idea for them to try to finish. --- ~Wigs~ 3-Time Consecutive Fantasy B8 Baseball Champion 2015 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPION NEW YORK METS <cite>WiggumFan267 posted [p:942531969] in MLB starts...
