#Worldserigami updates coming in hot and heavy:
Padres' elimination removes Classes 1 (v Guardians, Rays, or White Sox), and Class 3.
Only Class 1 matchup left is #Brewers v anybody. Brewers could also get Class 3 with a win and Class 5 for being the second crossover pennant (and first AL to NL)

So here's a #Worldserigami update that no one asked for and nobody cares about except me:
Braves' elimination removes two Class 1s (unique matchup): Braves v Rays or White Sox
Also removes two Class 0x (boring rematch): vs Guardians or Yankees

Every postseason you have people complain (usually fans of the losing side) about too many teams in the playoffs or whatever...
Something worth complaining about, that should be changed, is the practice of making the manager/coaches wear baseball pants. Jerseys are ok maybe
