On Monday I revealed the 128 team field, as well as the results of the wild card preliminaries that got the 2016 Nationals and 2010 Rangers into the party. And now begins the chaotic time.
For group play, each of the eight groups of 16 will play a double round robin of three game series. That's a 90 game schedule for each team, but with 64 series each round, that's 192 games for each post that I'll be going through.
It's an ambitious step up from the 2017 Tournament of Champions, but it's one that I'm prepared to do, hopefully without any delays. To help speed up the process, I'm really not digging too deep into stats this year, or bullpen usage or anything like that. Most teams are going to have a guy or two pitch in roughly 80 of their team's 90 games, if not more, and I'm just going to roll with it. But with everyone playing the same number of games, it'll be easier to keep track of starting pitchers for everybody since I'm just going down the dropdown list. When we get to postseason play, that's where I'll start keeping closer track of stats and things like that.
Because of the sheer number of games, for ease of reading I'm going to format all the results in a table. To see the schedule and group standings, click here. So without further ado... let the Tournament of Champions begin!
