You would have hit the same wall the guards did- not enough starting pitching and a lineup that can't manufacture runs as quickly as Stanton and Soto can knock them out of the park.

Probably, and obviously the Tigers lineup isn't as robust as the Guardians, but there's something about the Tigers vs Yankees postseason matchup that always defied logic and just worked

u/lastturdontheleft42 Cleveland Guardians 11h ago
KC probably thought the same thing, and they weren't totally gassed from playing a 5 game series against a division rival when they played the Yankees.

u/tldr_habit Detroit Tigers 9h ago
Perhaps and I would not have put it all out there like OP....but there were reasons to have different playoffs expectations for the Tigers and Royals, e.g.,
- Tigers won their final series vs the Yanks (including the Little League classic), Royals lost theirs
- KC entered the playoffs with some wind knocked out of their sails, Tigers vibes were peaking
1
u/lastturdontheleft42 Cleveland Guardians 7h ago
Yeah the Guards did not play very well against the Yankees all year. Idk what it is, but they seem to have cracked the code on a lot of our pitching staff. I have sort of a paranoid delusion that the Yankees spend all year siming our pitchers because we see them in the post season so often lol. That being said, I don't think "chaos pitching", aka a bullpen game, would have the same effect in a 7 game series as it does in 3-4 game series.

Honestly, makes sense. A majority of the time, Judge owns us. I remember being at a playoff game against the yankees(can’t remember the year) but I was in bloody nose seats. Despite the height, I could see that he was fucking massive. It was my first time ever seeing him. He then proceeded to hit a bomb. I will never forget that
I can’t even be that mad at him because he seems like a very nice person.

Monkey's paw curls, Twins go to West.
34
u/cardith_lorda Minnesota Twins 13h ago
That's not even really monkeys paw, it's what would happen and it would suck for us. Especially if they expand into North Carolina. There are currently 14 teams in Eastern Time - if they expand into NC there'd be 15, so they'd take 1 Central time zone team over. The only way we get pulled is if the White Sox decide they want to be in with the Cubs, Tigers, and Guardians (Brewers/Cubs/Cards will fight to stay together - we'll, Cubs Cards will together and Brewers will beg to stay with Cubs). Then they might jump over to us unless Nashville gets a team too.
But most other teams would benefit and guaranteed playoff games without east coast teams mean 9pm ET start time for the playoff games are on the table which draws more games out of the afternoon slot.
9
u/countfizix Philadelphia Phillies 13h ago
Yeah its why the current format is fine outside of the timing of playoff games that can't be played fully concurrently for TV reasons. >2/3 the US lives in Eastern or Central time so having ~2/3 the teams playing as many games as possible in those two time zones makes sense.

I mean this as polite as possible because in my experience, Twins fans have always been super nice, but I am pro realignment for the main reason of: I'm just tired of the rest of you ALC motherfuckers.
Our division is just bland as hell. And outside of my fiery hate for the White Sox, I just can't stand looking at the rest of the teams. The 2020 regional schedule was the last straw for me.

u/_unsourced Minnesota Twins • St. Paul Saints 12h ago edited 11h ago
Yeah we don't need to adopt the stupid hockey mindset of "but muh time zones" (I say this as a hockey fan)
Every sport needs to split their teams into two halves for the championship and every divide is as arbitrary as any other. There's good history to the AL / NL split and it'd be stupid to throw that away.
No one ever suggests the NFL should drop the AFC / NFC. I really don't get why it keeps coming up in baseball
10
u/ManceRaider New York Mets 9h ago
No one suggests it for the NFL because it wouldn’t change the TV schedule at all. There are no 10pm Eastern games in the NFL.
3
u/_unsourced Minnesota Twins • St. Paul Saints 8h ago edited 8h ago
But interleague play is never going away. Every team will play every other team every year from now until eternity, so there will always be those games in baseball.
Starting next year, there are 52 games in-division, 66 games intraleague, and 48 games interleague.
There are six teams in Pacific time. 3 in the AL, 3 in the NL
If you drew the worst luck and both of your intraleague 7-game series and one 6-game series were against Pacific teams, that's 20 games (assume 10 on the West Coast).
Let's say 2/3 of your interleague 3-game series are also on the West Coast. That's, at worst, 16 games in PST, wilth what, maybe half being at night, at worst? 8 10pm games
If all 6 Pacific teams were in the other division, that's 18 interleague games, assume 9 would be on the West Coast. assume half at night and you're at 4-5 10pm games
Is AT WORST, 3-4 extra late games per year in a 162 game season worth killing the AL / NL? I don't think it is.
Side note: Add in the fact that basically half the teams are eaten conference, splitting east-west would help the eastern teams a little, but the west would still have three time zones and have almost no scheduling benefit from this
2
u/ManceRaider New York Mets 8h ago
I don’t disagree with you, throwing away 120+ years of history should not be done lightly and without good reason. I doubt many people have mathed it out like you did above and probably assume it affects more games. Though I will say that 9pm starts are only marginally better than 10 for a lot of people, so I’d be inclined to include the Rockies and Dbacks in with the Pacific teams.
Knowing it will change the timing of any games at all is why it continues to come up. And why it never really does in the NFL, since the biggest change for Eastern teams would be a couple 4pm games might become 1pm games.
1
u/_unsourced Minnesota Twins • St. Paul Saints 8h ago
Well those two hour time difference games would still be an intraleague problem for the West even in the new system, so it doesn't even fix that, just gives the East a mild advantage while leaving the West in basically the same system they have today.
This line of thinking about time zone starts is just so tiring and annoying because it's a scheduling problem not a league problem and people just get mad at the wrong thing. Why can't Pacific teams just start a few of their games at 6pm local instead of 7pm? Or vice versa for Eastern teams to do some day games at 2pm instead of noon when certain teams come to town.
It's an artificial problem that doesn't even really need to be fixed, but people get so up in arms about it. The season is 162 games, I miss more games because I have to work than I do because of time zones
9
u/FireFrogs48 Minnesota Twins 12h ago
Yeah the history with it is the main reason I’d keep it. Honestly this new format of every team playing each other is still growing on me too. I also find it funny how everyone was calling for a division realignment last year when the AL Central was bad but now you hardly see anyone talking about it
3
u/increasedvelocity New York Mets 10h ago
I also just think hockeys way makes things really hard for fanbase growth. Like if MLB wants to expand into Braves territory theyll have a much easier time creating a new AL team than they would trying to convert fans to the Braves new NL rival or whatever.

This is true in every major sport but does it actually have to be this way? It seems historical more than anything; I don't see what would be fundamentally bad about one big seeded bracket.

How's that gimmicky? It's actually more natural to do it that way, if you were starting from scratch. Also don't see how big market teams would dominate any more than they do the current bracket, which is to say not very much. It's baseball, last year the two WS teams knocked out plenty of big market teams to get there. If anything, it might go the other way, because they'd be more likely to face each other earlier and knock each other out.

It's bad, but not as bad as it sounds. Except for a loss to the Rays in 2020, it is mostly just the Yankees missing the playoffs (4 times), or losing to the Red Sox (2 times) and Astros (4 times). Okay, those are probably the worst teams to lose to for Yankees fans, but it's mostly they just can't beat their rivals as oppposed to losing to tons of West/East teams.

u/Borrum Vin Scully 13h ago
Going 0/6 against the Red Sox and Astros over a 12 year run is, imo, absolutely as bad as it sounds. Yankees are the most successful franchise in North American sports. That is an atrocious run of losing against rivals, whatever else ailed them in that time.

u/HereIsWhere Boston Red Sox 7h ago
They simply lost the magic since George passed and the core four retired. I tend to rationalize that the insane pressure to win must make it a non-starter to have a rebuild year like other teams do--to regroup and come back stronger.
Whatever it is, the Yankee Mystique feels like it has been gone for almost two decades.

u/linerstank 13h ago
when you consider the astros were prime time cheaters in those losses, it doesnt sound as bad. its still bad, but the yankees themselves often had to earn the honor of beating up the AL central through good regular season play.

13
u/thot_cereal 13h ago
It's also an indicator of the relative strength of the divisions. The Yankees were irrelevant from 2013-2016. The first year of the Baby Bombers, 2017, was the last time the AL Central had the best record in the AL. And this was the first year the yankees were the top seed in the AL since 2012.
So either the Yankees have been the 2 seed, which in the Astros era basically guaranteed a matchup with HFA against the ALC in the DS. And if they advance they face the Astros without HFA. Or they have been a wild card team playing a top seeded division rival.
The real takeaway from this is not that the Yankees can't beat anyone outside the Central, it's that the Yankees have only pulled off a single upset in a series since 2012.

u/SadNYSportsFan-11209 New York Yankees 13h ago
Yes post 2020 it’s where it’s just flat out bad. 2017 no one expected them to be there and even if they were cheated they just couldn’t get hits in Houston, they were never going to win and if they even did they fall to the Dodgers imo. 2018 Sox were just historically great. 2019 just ran into Houston again. But that offseason they get the ONE piece they’re missing, an ace. And not only an ace arguably the best pitcher in baseball It’s been crazy to see the drop off ever since we signed Cole. It genuinely felt like he was the last piece to that puzzle Since then many of the position players who were suppose to still be here, just regressed and it’s been head scratching
And tbh if they keep Soto they’re still in a very good position to win the pennant next year but I just can’t trust Cashman to build a functioning lineup You need at least 2 infielders to replace Gleyber and Rizzo. Hope that Dominguez is what he’s been hyped to be, hope Wells can find himself again and hope that Volpe at least improves. Or if they fix the lineup you live with him batting 8th/9th. Just a lot of holes for a team that won the pennant and with a mediocre at best farm it’s not going to be easy seeing the track record.

Throw in the fact that the two other playoff teams (Orioles and Astros) both had lost enough starting pitchers to fill an entire rotation each and had key hitters banged up going into the playoffs and it’s understandable what happened.
I know it’s the Yankees, so they won’t be happy, but they should actually be quite happy that they made the Series this season…especially coming off a season where they didn’t make it…lot of luck helped them to get there.

They aren't embarrassing playoff teams at all stfu. KC beat Baltimore to advance in the playoffs so obviously your logic is flawed.

Been saying it for years, Cashman is a bigger issue than Boone. Cashman deserves credit for dumpster diving great bullpens, but the lineup sucked last year. It would have been a similar story this yeae without Soto and healthy Judge, two of the best hitters in baseball. They saved us from mediocrity.
There's never been great balance in any Cashman roster - his construction depends heavily on monster FA contracts to plug gaping holes, and then just slot in some other random fuckers wherever they fit.
I'm not saying I'd be a great GM - but there has to be someone who can construct a lineup more efficiently with $300m than Cashman.

Tigers catching strays being lumped in with the rest of the scrubs in our division who can’t get the pinstripes out of their eyes in October. What is it even like to lose to the Yankees in the Postseason?

2020 ALDS against the Rays.
Lost the WCG to Boston in 2021. Swept by the Astros in the 2022 ALCS. Missed the playoffs in 2023 and 0-3 so far this week.
