But even forcing hospitable stadiums to host more april games and balance it out with revenue sharing so it's not northern teams getting out ahead seems like the thing that could be done if you were capable of doing things to improve the sport and not just hovering around the size of bases because they can't argue back. If it's too cold to play why are they starting the season? It's just a money grab for the owners. More games equals more money. I'm for the players playing less total games and owners making less.

Imagine a 140 games season and only the top team in each league advances to the World Series? Now that's a meaningful regular season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmags 8,550 Posted April 11 Less baseball games would mean longer, more important baseball games. Can't imagine if we had 120 baseball games as long as the playoffs. Give me 162 2.5 hour baseball games and I'd be in hog, HOG heaven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kopech's stuff is so good he can still get outs when he has no command like yesterday. Who are you? What did you do with Jack? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the 59 Sox would have been knocked off by some bogus playoff team I would not have been happy. They could play a 13 game series between the two league winners if that would provide enough money for everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I said he hit .235 and will be given the opportunity to prove himself this year ....before people equate him with the likes of.... Ohtani.. LOL at Steve Stone. I also posted links to several dives he took last season ...before the one where he almost injured himself in ST. That's the one that may have cause Hahn to pull the trigger on the trade for AJP. I'll be at the game tomorrow with my boys. Want to meet up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
