Nick Wright: Yankees took advantage of the flawed MLB Playoff structure | FIRST THINGS FIRST

[@jeremyrhansen6637]

I feel like Nick and CC are constantly having a contest to see who can hold their eyebrows higher...

[@Nino-bu1cx]

I think Nick is mad because LeBrons hometown team lost....Shut up Nicky....They blew a 0-2 lead & was gift wrapped game 2.

[@sikky20]

Great season by Indians, Yankee fan here didn't expect them to win but also didn't expect them to be swept. Young team would have been satisfied w/a competitive 4 game series, the fact they came back and won AFTER blowing gm 2 the way they did. It wasn't a disservice to Indians, their defense cost them dearly.

[@gavinanderson6623]

[@maxheadroom1207]

These guys dont know shit about baseball. We sit here and complain about basketball being too predictable but now complain that baseball the "best" team doesn't win. First off Nick's analogy is terrible. What does he want an 13-game series? The Yankees were clearly the better team in this series. Cashman's job is probably as safe as ever so IDK what CC is talking about. Girardi's decision to pull Sabathia out was a no-brainer and even if Girardi doesn't get resigned he would have another job the next day. Btw maybe Girardi doesn't want to come back as the manager.

[@weatherboy5410]

Brandon Starr but who won game 2?

[@tommy5525]

Totally agree. Nick does not have a clue of the complexity of the game of baseball. I am amazed how he is sticking to his ridiculous point. I mean, I understand if the team with the best record has to play a wildcard team to move forward but that's not the case! The Yankees fought their way to compete against the best team and they won the series. Also, great point on Girardi, I feel the ball is on his side of the court and it will be his decision to stay or walk. I believe Brian Cashman knows that the young squad needs continuity and bringing a brand new manager might not be the best for the development of the team.

[@tommy5525]

I would argue that the Yankees won a 5 game series with 4 games. After game one there was an 8% chance of the Yankees getting passed the Indians. Game two was the game that showed that they could compete.

[@williamhankey8040]

They doesn't even know Girardi is in last year of contract & cant be fired if Yanks lost. Clueless and keep subjects to NFL & garbage NBA. How these guys got own talk show have no clue

[@zellkingpromotionszellking1465]

I hate basketball 7 game series most teams quit

[@zackrichards6331]

Yanks should have technically won four, let's be honest, Kluber got rocked, Miller gave up a Dong and Lindor and Eddie didn't do shit in game 7. They got destroyed by NY, they deserved to lose, not a flawed format at all.

[@nikitalohman2761]

Zack Richards *game 5

[@Meganelsonator]

MLB playoff structure is perfect

[@neugey]

Right! NBA loses people with too many teams making the playoffs and a 2+ month post-season with all 7 game series. Fans don't want to see a war of attrition.

[@SungRok]

Exactly!

[@bmcminn8838]

Exactly the best teams make it, in the NBA and NFL you can have a losing record and get in

[@Sethbowman3]

The one game playoff is really shitty

[@NazReidFan]

Brian Mcminn only in the east on the NBA

[@ethanstomp]

New York outplayed Cleveland in four games. It's not a flawed format. Cleveland went on a huge win-streak but probably peaked too early, they came into the playoffs with injuries. The Yankees were hot too, didn't have injuries and were getting big contributions from everyone on the team coming into the playoffs. Say what you want but you don't accidentally win 3 games in a row. Hell Cleveland beat a 73-win Warriors team that was up 3-1 and Nick would defend it to his grave that they deserved it. That kind of contradictions should be saved for Skip.

Nick is talking out of his ass here. He is misapplying numbers to pad is false argument

[@jaydee3134]

The argument that the series structure is unfair is ridiculous...I'm no Yankees fan in the least but give credit where it's do...they (Yankees) manned up down 0-2 to win 3 straight against a very good team...Maybe the Yankees are a better team then Cleveland

[@scottvalenza1607]

[@drewbravo1873]

That was the absolute right time to take CC out. Giving up your four hit in a row, for Sabathia in that 5th inning, yes it was the perfect time. GO YANKEES GO!!!!!

Damn Cleveland just cant get right... Can they have a 3 game playoff series for the Wildcard

[@idgaf9333]

Cahluvca already tried and they voted no.all the gms voted no 1 game knock.out and poof here we are

[@dadbod614]

yankees were better team for 3.5 of the 5 games. I do believe 1st round should be 7 games, I know it's probably done to keep best pitchers fresher for championships and WS, but 5 does seem short.

[@theochen1]

How was it not fair to Cleveland when they had a 2-0 lead in the series? End of the day they couldn't get it done and they blew it.

[@christianalfaro1578]

Cleveland is just addicted to blowing leads

[@nathaniellevesque2782]

I think 1997 was the last time the Indians won an elimination game.

[@rg442]

Nick Wright is not taking into account the mental factor that comes with playing in the playoffs. Kluber obviously couldn't handle the pressure.

MLB playoffs are my favorite. It's never a sure thing like most NBA playoffs. There are definitely favorites but it is not set in stone. Why I absolutely love baseball, unpredictability.

[@nathaniellevesque2782]

Taking Sabathia out was the right call. He was missing his spots and giving up too many hits that inning. And the Yankees bullpen is strong enough and deep enough that Girardi didn't have to second guess himself.

[@ilovegames9708]

If Indians won, I bet this dweeb would not be saying this considering the playoff structure would have been the exact same.

[@nathaniellevesque2782]

The playoff format for baseball is fine as it is. The only changes I would recommend is making the wild card round Best of 3, and even then it's not something I'll loose sleep over.

[@kaqueburlington4278]

Playing a best 3 out of 5 series instead of a best 4 out of 7 series after a 162 game season is a complete joke, just like how a team can have the second best record in their league after a 162 game season, but not win their division & have to play a one game playoff just to get to the best 3 out of 5 series is a joke.

[@marcus813]

Why should Joe Girardi's job have been on the line? Making the playoffs in MLB is far from a given and shouldn't just be taken for granted.

[@BeefPapa]

I can't believe I'm agreeing with Nick Wright. The divisional series should be a best of 7. No logic playing 162 just to end up throwing a dice on a five game series. A seven game series is fairer to the better team. A short series can go either way. That's part of the reason the nba went to seven games in the first round.

[@eduardooronia2557]

Girardi was never going to lose his job. These people are crazy. They weren't supposed to make it to the playoffs!

[@ryanolson2308]

Nick is correct. The MLB playoffs are a horrible way of determining the best team, but damn they are exciting

[@spencerb4294]

The system isn't flawed. Baseball is 100% not who you play it's when you play them. If the playoffs started a month earlier the Indians would have rolled through the playoffs. The Indians weren't particularly hit the first two games but were the betting team so they won. The Yankees won a close game and and then got rolling, the rest is history.

[@charleslynching]

"i say we because I obviously play for the team" FUNNY

[@Big_Steve11]

The Patriots played great all 2007 and played one bad game by Wright's logic that's not fair

[@tiburonplateado0727]

Yankees weren't supposed to get to the ALCS. Yankees fans should appreciate the feat and not get all upset if and when they lose to the Astros.

[@vjbk1587]

Desert Hawk 17 As a Yankee fan I agree. The one caveat being if we were to loose the pennant in similar fashion to that game 2 divisional loss.

[@zeppelin342]

The beauty of baseball is that ANY team can win a series against any team. Are the Yankees overall better than the Indians? Probably not, but the Yankees won the series. Makes it pretty exciting in my opinion.

[@SpidermanandJeny]

One game does not make the difference between being a good manager. Thus, had they lost, Girardi being fired for that unexpectedly good season would be ridiculous and one more win should not be the sole basis for him keeping his job. Though, it's hard to see that someone is going to lose their job when they did unexpectedly well and won a post season series.

[@dylanvickers7311]

The "its not fair to the Indians they had a better record" argument is one of his worst, they have the playoffs for a reason, and its one of the best in all of sports, the Indians should've won this series, no excuse for choking.

[@matheusfernandes2102]

Wtf does this guy wants? For them to eliminate the playoffs?

[@Scorpio1025]

Outside maybe the NBA, the Yankees and NY Giants show that the hottest teams at the right time can win it all in sports

[@J9mrkiv]

The point of the playoff structure is to give every team an even playing field. The small sample size of games allows for more randomness and entertainment. Yes, the Indians were the best team during the regular reason, but the playoffs don't always crown the best team.

[@robertjamessimmonsiii6367]

The playoffs in any sport do not filter teams out to get to the best. We know who the best is, its the team with the highest W-L record in the regular season. The playoffs determine a champion...the team that persevered through the difficult season and can fend off an opposing team in a short series. You get 5 games, win 3 of them. If you can't string together 3 games then you shouldn't advance. The next two rounds, you get 7 games, win 4 of them....if you can't win 4 games do you really deserve to be champion? Champions win when they have to, not when its convenient

[@nathaniellevesque2782]

He thinks 1 NFL Game is a better sampling size than a 5 game series, when it comes to determining the better team. I call bullshit on that one.

[@qwert1168]

Pats; 17-1, are they complaining? Yankees didn't benefit from the system.

[@josemazariegos5866]

Nick Wright trying to make it sound like an unfair error eliminated the Indians, they blew a 2 game lead. Lost 3 straight, close games too. Best team won, period.

[@BurntRAM]

the structure is fine. i dont wanna see lengthy bloated alcs series. the entire point of the playoffs is to crown a winner, not necessarily the "best" team. more so the streakiest team.

[@baatar]

So, a best of five playoff series in baseball is worse than losing the Super Bowl in one game? Can someone explain football logic to me because that argument just sounds like nonsense to me.

[@Big_Steve11]

A football post season literally can last for 3 hrs for a team and then its done, at least in baseball you get a minimum of 3 games

[@williamli6359]

why is this an argument? everyone knows that baseball is extremely random making the playoffs horrible at determining the best team.

[@bmcminn8838]

Baseball has the best playoff structure by letting less teams in it makes the season mean more and the best actually get in not like in the NBA or NFL where a team with a losing record can make the playoffs

[@dwashington1333]

Go back to the pre strike win the division playoff, get rid of the Wild Card. The purpose of the postseason is to determine the best team, a second place team should always be eliminated.

[@bmcminn8838]

So because the best teams choke when it matters that means the system is flawed?? Nick Wright should just stop talking Baseball

[@DoubleZ1744]

5 game series in the first round is definitely enough. Indians are the #1 seed playing a WC team. If you can’t win 3/5 games then you don’t deserve to go on

[@donbrassco301]

If Joe wins it all out! Leave on a high note. Time for a younger coach and another direction.

[@shocbomb23]

You sound absolutely absurd Nick Wright SMH WOW

[@rotoninja]

I'm not a Yankees fan by any stretch, but Cleveland was outplayed and outmatched. Nick's HR robbing argument is invalid, as the same could be said about Girardi's non-challenge on Lindor, which the Yankees should have won that game. Also, winning streaks during the season mean nothing as there are too many variables involved. Stick to...Lebron or something.

[@nathaniellevesque2782]

The Indians lost, because the Yankees outplayed them over the last 3 games. Playoff format had nothing to do with the Indians choking. And to be honest, the Yankees should have won in 4, as they basically gift wrapped game 2 for Cleveland.

[@acloud8410]

I'm sure this guy still thinks the Cavs were a better team than the Warriors last year

[@udaykode8579]

These guys don't know anything about baseball, bro Cashman and Girardi were not on the hot seat, Girardi managed a young Yankees team to a 91-71 record that was not even projected to make the playoffs

[@ahmedny5857]

Nick Wright needs to stfu. CC striked out 9 and then literally fell down. He gave up 4 straight singles, 2 runs scored. Indians had all the momentum off of CC, D Rob comes in and gets a double play. Now what are the odds CC wouldve done that ? I love CC but at the point it was time to go to Pen just to get through that inning.

[@shibity]

"I disagree"... woman, it's a mathematical fact.

[@dilwalecricket]

nick i kind of understand your point but you can't look at everything by just numbers or via analytics i do think they should make the WC game best of 3 instead of just one game

[@ganas11giants]

They had 3 chances to win once. In football the better team can lose one game and be done. Your argument makes no sense

Yankees had the second best run differential in the MLB... The Indians weren't that much better than them

[@Yooncelebtarot]

Wht the hell is this guy on about? The Indians were the best team in baseball but they collapsed like many great teams do when the pressure is on. It's called the PLAYOFFS. It's a different environment. The teams with the most relaxed and most prepared players WIN! It's why the greats are only remembered by what they do in the playoffs because they are able to perform when it mattered. It separates the clutch greats from the "had so much potential but couldn't do it when it mattered." Also he's talking out of his ass about the playoff structure. It's been this way for hundreds of years and it's the most fair series out of all professional sports in my opinion.

[@bradleysheldon2113]

I believe the wild card should be a best of 3 to be honest

[@GaryTurbo]

I expected Cleveland to win

[@romancasella9926]

Doesn't matter who is better during the regular season. So what? The Yankees were supposed to roll over and lose after being down 2-0? As a Yankees fan I've seen them be the best team in baseball in the regular season and lose in the first round of the playoffs. Am I upset? Of course. It's part of the playoffs though. All I hear on the radio and sports networks is how he Indians collapsed, Judge strikes out a million times and Joe didn't make that challenge when he should have. How about how they came back from a 2-0 deficit?

[@averma32]

Thats why you gotta love baseball playoffs. You have to play well on that day. Doesn't matter what they did in regular season over several months. No one can say for sure who will win the world series for sure, unlike NBA where everyone predicts that Warriors will most likely win for next 3 years. The Indians played well at the end of the season but couldn't do it playoffs. There is more uncertainties in baseball. The best regular season team may not win it all, because they still need to play every playoff game well.

[@howzavanilla]

Terrible analogy by Nick.

[@tacodestroyer11]

Jenna and Chris are wrong. Nick is right on the structure and system messed up. Still Baseball being a weird ass sport Indians were the best team. They did mess up but still Nick is absolutely right. Chris makes fair points. Jenna her perspective is a tunnel vision type perspective,

[@anthonydraghi1768]

I watch baseball non stop and honesty it is flawed. Wild card teams keep on playing( which is good for those teams) and teams with the best record gotta wait four or three days. I don't also like how a one game playoff can dictate your season. 2015 Cubs vs Pirates. Second and third best teams in the MLB. Make that a best two out of three right after game 162. Game one against the team with the best record you could potentially have your number 4 against the other teams number 1.....a true advantage to the team with the best record. Stats say teams with the best record don't do that good. That shouldn't be. Good to see y'all talking bout baseball and not Cowherd....

[@branjara]

Anthony I agree that the one game wild card needs to be changed. I bring up the Pirates and Cubs wild card all the time too. They could even just make it a 160 game season in order to add a best of 3 series for the wild card game. Glad you pointed to this specifically because what Nick was saying is off. He showed a little ignorance when it comes to baseball. The playoffs are all about who shows up in the big moments, and that goes for any sport. If that were not the case why would we have playoffs? Why not say "Hey, the Indians have been historically great and the Dodgers have been the best in the NL. How about they just play an 11 game series to decide a champion?" A regular season record is not always indicative of who the best team is because that depends on so many things like strength of competition, injuries, pitchers hitting/DH, east to west coast road trips, etc. Baseball is a series game where you should have the opportunity to run out your top 3 or 4 starters vs. theirs and see who performs which is why the Wild Card game is flawed but the rest of playoffs is not.

[@maxheadroom1207]

I think it is way better than the format before. A premium has to be put on winning the division and having the one game wild card does that. Plus the advantage that is gained by the best team is having their pitching lined up the way they want it to.

[@branjara]

The premium is home field advantage. Having a 3 game series would not lessen the incentive of winning the division for the reason you stated; resting and getting rotation in order for the division winners.

[@jordandennis6794]

The best team in the NFL needs to wait a whole fucking week. Super Bowl 50 was the first time the NFL had both 1 seeds make it to the Super Bowl. The MLB's playoffs is perfect for a unpredictable sport, just like the NHL's.

[@kaqueburlington4278]

[@connoratcanada80]

[@TheKing-qt5pe]

The Indians were up 2-0. THEY blew it themselves. It's their fault they lost 3 games in a row.

[@wilfredoalvelo4866]

What a cry baby. The system is the same for everyone and benefits those who play well enough to deserve the victory. There were plenty of years that the Yanks were the best team and heavily favored only to be eliminated in a 5 game series. The Braves of the early 2000s and late 90s were always division winners with a great offense and a great starting staff. They were never great defensively, off the bench or in the bullpen. Many of their playoff losses were exposed in that regard. Many thought the Yankees were going to lose easily to them in the 1996 World Series. However, the Yanks were strong where the Braves were weak and they exposed those weaknesses. The Braves never really adjusted into the 2000s. Teams jumped on their bullpen upon matching their starting pitchers inning for inning, and if they usually jumped on the starting pitchers (of which they always had 3 great ones) the bench and bullpen couldn't save them and they would often lose. Playoff structure had nothing to do with that, as they lost for several years including twice to the dynasty Yanks in the World Series. I guess dynasties don't mean anything to this idiot, because perhaps the playoff structure favored those great teams but not current ones. Fucking idiot lol The Oakland A's (who won 20 In a row in 2002) were too young when they peaked and many players went off as free agents, including their MVP Giambi and Cy Young winner Zito. They had 2 great shots at a title. In 2001, the old guard Yanks at the tail end of their dynasty, beat them in round one after losing the first two games AT HOME. NO EXCUSES BUT THAT THEY DIDNT GET THE JOB DONE. They were outplayed in the final 3 games. In 2002 they were World Series favorites and lost to the Minnesota Twins in 5 games. They also had the better bench and bullpen despite being out gunned in the batting lineup and starting rotation. They played better and beat them in the 7th inning of game 5 off their shit bullpen lol. Now let's talk about the one that I'm always happy to discuss, and that's the 2001 Seattle Mariners. A team that was easily the most overrated team of the modern era. They had 116 wins in the regular season. They broke the Yankee record set just 3 seasons earlier in 1998, when the Yanks won 114, enroute to a championship, thus solidifying their late 90s dynasty. Did they not think they had a chance to beat them despite this great success three years earlier? After all, the core was exactly the same and they added hired guns such as Roger Clemens and David Justice. They Yanks just defeated the 2001 favored Oakland A's and had momentum, but let's skip that and consider that this was now a 7 game series to determine who goes to the World Series. So it begs the question: "how is the playoff system IN A 7 GAME SERIES TO BLAME FOR THE YANKS SPANKING THEM IN 5 GAMES?" Wow. That's another fucking team that had no bullpen, a loaded offense, but a starting staff that didn't throw hard enough to give those Yankee hitters trouble. Back then the Yanks would always struggle with flame throwers, but that was something the Mariners didn't have, so of course the series went the way it did, including 2 blow-outs. Now, the Indians this year were the better team. I didn't think the Yanks had a shot. However, they rallied behind guys that played without fear and were Unafraid to fail. (Just look at Judge striking out 16 times in 24 at bats for fucks sake) They hit their best pitcher twice in the series and also took a game from their best reliever. They earned it. But this idiot says it's a flawed playoff structure. What a fucking tool.

[@joshuakahky6891]

I don't get what this guy wants. A 20-team, 19-game-series playoffs? The MLB's postseason system is extremely fair, excluding the stupid one-and-done wildcard game. The exclusivity of the playoffs gives validity to the regular season. The same can't be said for the NFL, which this guy clearly has a fetish for. Sorry your team lost bro, but that's how the game goes. The fact is that the MLB probably produces the best team for the World Series winner more often than any other sport, excluding maybe the NBA. Complain about something else.

[@lulberserk1418]

Confused by this guys logic. He's talking about how it isn't fair because the Indians were the best team in the league. My question to him would have been well then how many games do they need to play in order for it to be fair? Also he kept trying to compare it to the NFL what about the Patriots in 2007 18-0 they went to the super bowl and lost. The playoffs everyone starts fresh no one cares about the regular season. The point is the Indians dropped the ball two years in the row and this guy is talking about how the playoffs aren't fair. IM DONE!
