In the wake of the Los Angeles Dodgers' 2024 World Series win over the New York Yankees, ex-pitcher Joe Kelly offered candid reflections on the matchup. He expressed disbelief at how the Yankees were considered strong contenders, likening their defeat to the Dodgers' loss in the 2018 World Series against the Boston Red Sox. Kelly emphasized the need to re-evaluate MLB's postseason structure, arguing that it should ensure the best teams face off, rather than allowing mismatches like the Yankees-Dodgers matchup to occur.
They're batting Kiké Hernández fourth in the lineup. Are you kidding me? Joe Kelly said the 2024 World Series was such a mismatch that it reminded him of 2018 when the Red Sox beat the Dodgers in five games.
This is a completely different mismatch of a team. That's what happens in baseball. That's why there needs to be playoff re-ranking. Because you need the two best teams - like the Padres and the Dodgers - to play in the World Series.
