BUBBLE FORMAT FOR THE PLAYOFFS WOULD BE KEY

Cody Van Den Berg Staff Writer

The MLB playoffs are getting closer and with a sixty-game season coming to an end, I think the MLB playoffs should be played in a bubble format so there are no breakouts we have during the postseason.

          Making it through the MLB regular season has been a goal for almost everyone. All the teams have worked so hard with all the protocols because of covid 19. With three breakouts at the beginning of the regular season teams were getting worried they would cancel the rest of the season. At one point I think the season would be shut down if one more team would have shut down. Nobody wants the playoffs to be shut down. Ill of these teams have worked so hard in a sixty-game season to finish out the year.  The NBA season went to a bubble format there have been no outbreaks. It would be such a good idea to go to a bubble format for the MLB postseason play this year. I want all games in the playoffs to be in a bubble format so nobody takes a chance to get the virus playing in their home ball parks. MLB has done an excellent job of extending the teams to sixteen teams this year for the postseason in the past it has always been ten teams. “According to CBS sports.com having a bubble format for the playoffs would help finish the playoffs the safe way”. The stadiums you could have it in are Globe field in Arlington Texas another ballpark you could have it in is  Globe field witch is a new ball park held by the Texas Rangers. “Katherine Acquavella says a bubble format is very possible for the playoffs and there are talks about having one. The thing I am disagreeing with is they should have a bubble format for the wild card teams also. According to CBS sports they are talking about having those games in their home ball parks. The huge problem with that is If someone has one outbreak because it’s not in a bubble format. They will have to shut everything down. Now if you put all the games in a bubble there is a safer and a better chance the playoffs will all get played and someone will get a chance to play for a world series title. That is what everyone want’s nobody wants to see the season get shut down in the playoffs in the wildcard game because they decided to keep those games in home ball parks and not in a bubble format. Like the rest of the games witch they are talking about doing at this moment in time.
