I raised this in the chat, but I don't know how this makes any sense.

Aug 22 it was posted that the playoffs start Aug 25.  Then instantly on the 25th Seattle is eliminated with a better record than Tampa Bay?  Having the rules read that the play in game is based on the final regular season weeks points makes absolutely no sense. 
IF that's going to take place, those teams should be made aware and should play each other that week.

I know it's on me for not reading the fine print of the rules, but I cruised through that week assuming I was in the playoffs since I couldn't be caught for a wild card spot.

I knew the playoffs were coming up quick and I was late with my first playoff post. With the standings though there wasn't much of a race in any divisions except the NL East and NL Central.

I did have to adjust the date the playoffs started in fantrax but the playoff matches from last year were still in the schedule on fantrax so I don't think there was an issue of not knowing the playoffs were going to start.

I'm not really a fan of the setup for the wildcard right now and am working on a proposal to the RC about the current FGM schedule right now. I am going to propose a more realistic schedule of 162 games following the MLB current scheduling rules and adding in a week playoff for the WC teams. It won't have an affect on this year but next year this will hopefully change.

Cannot believe :LAD: is gonna fall. :COL: it looks like will advance to take on :STL:

Paul once again quietly advancing to the next round. Great job by Corey and :NYM: to make the playoffs for the first time in FGM.

:OAK: just dominates :TB:. Rob is looking strong at the right time.

:NYY: just manhandled :MIN2: this week.


It looks like it will be :COL: vs :STL: in the :NL:

:NYY: vs :OAK: in the :AL:

1) :OAK: :STL: :NYY: - the behemoths come through in the end... congrats to upstarts :NYM: :CHC: :MIN: :SEA:
2) I agree that the wildcard needs to be revisited
3) We need to update the record history in each team profile.  I can provide the analytics on the W-L records but don't have time for the write-ups.

Colorado Rockies           592.8      St. Louis Cardinals   608.3
New York Yankees   664.8      Oakland Athletics           592.0

Some great matchups are currently going on in the Championship series in both leagues. Should be an interesting weekend to see who makes it to the FGM World Series
