A Three-Game Series is an Insult to 162

Sal and BT expressed strong displeasure with the best-of-three Wild Card Series format in baseball, arguing that it is far too "abrupt" to settle a 162-game season. Sal, a self-proclaimed baseball purist, believes the sport would be better served by a shorter regular season and an expanded, longer postseason, specifically advocating for at least a best-of-five format for the Wild Card and best-of-seven for the Division Series. While acknowledging the financial complexities, both hosts agreed that longer series would result in more drama, more meaningful games, and a truer representation of the better team advancing.
