Trevor Bauer has over 200,000 followers on Twitter and he’s about to gain a whole lot more. The Cincinnati Reds pitcher took to the social media site last night to voice his displeasure over the recent proposal to Major League Baseball’s playoff format. I think Bauer speaks for the majority of baseball fans when he calls the proposed changes “absurd”.
For some weird reason, MLB is apparently trying to tinker with the playoff format. According to ESPN, the number of teams would jump from 10 to 14 and have an odd twist when it comes to the matchups, reportedly allowing teams to select their opponent.
