Bernie On The MLB Postseason: Enjoy The Madness And The Chaos. It's Good For The Sport.

Bernie is a fan of the MLB postseason. He thinks it's good for the sport. Bernie is disappointed with the Dodgers, Braves, Mets and Cardinals who were knocked out early. The Dodgers have won more games than any team in the majors in last 10 years. They have a winning percentage 48 points better than the No. 2 team, the Yankees. The Yankees are playing in Monday's decisive ALDS Game 5. New York is expected to win. Dodgers collapsed in a one-and-done series against San Diego. Dave Roberts said that the team doesn't see the world in black and white.

The new postseason format is not to blame for the Braves' poor performance. The Cardinals' offense didn't perform well against the Phillies. Max Scherzer's start in the wild-card round was a disaster for him and the Mets. The new format has been going on for a long time. It's silly to judge the new one-off results based on the results of one season. Let's see how it plays out over the next several seasons. For the winning team, the pressure is the key. In the losing team's case, it's the players. They either get the job done, handle the Pressure and win, or yield too easily, crack under pressure, and lose.

Bernie is happy about the MLB playoffs. He thinks it's good for the sport. In the wild-card era, 31 teams have won at least 100 regular-season games. Only five of them won the World Series. No team has won back-to-back World series since 1975-76. The other teams haven't repeated since 1921-22 New York Giants. Bernie thinks the playoffs give the underdogs an opportunity to generate quick and devastating lightning strikes. In a two-game, five- or seven- game series there will be instances of poor starting pitching, freezing bats, bullpen mishaps, baserunning blunders and sloppy defense.
