Commissioner Rob Manfred believes its too early to judge baseball\'s new playoff format even after two division winners were swept this postseason and a third struggled offensively before being eliminated.

\"It\'s only Year 2,\" Manfred said before Game 4 of the Philadelphia Phillies-Atlanta Braves NL Division Series on Thursday night. \"I\'m sort of the view you need to give something a chance to work out. I know some of the higher-seeded teams didn\'t win. I think if you think about where some of those teams were, there are other explanations than a five-day layoff. But I think we\'ll reevaluate in the offseason like we always do and think about if we have the format right.\"
