Playoff Format Next Year

I propose that we extend the Championship round from 1 to 2 weeks by not skipping the last week of the season.  We are skipping the week of 9/19 through 9/25 even though the season doesn't end until 9/28.  Teams will use the week of 9/26 through 9/28 to set their playoff rotations and rest their players.

This was argued last year as teams start to rest their players or shut down guys 10-12 days prior to the end of the season.  Currently, the LDS and LCS are each one week long with the WS lasting two weeks.

For sure, I argued to use the system we are now using. I was in the World Series and Texiera was benched 4 games that week for rest. Totally Dumb! 

I like the way it is now

[Paul S.]

It definitely needs to stay as is.  There are too many of the best players sitting on the bench that week.

[Brewers GM]

We could always entertain shortening the regular season by a week to start the playoffs one week earlier, allowing for a two week LCS round.

[Dan Wood]

I agree that the playoffs should not run into the final week of the regular season. I have seen many teams get screwed in this league as well as in others because of that.
