September 15, 20169 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 14, 2016 -> 02:47 PM) First 72 games: 28 home 44 road Was going to post that stat as well along with this one.. We have proven that we cannot beat our own division on a regular basis, so along with the 28 home 44 road to start, the 1st 25 of 28 games are against our own division with the other 3 being "AT" Yankees. All I know is if JR said he wants to win badly, then I have NO CLUE what they can come up with to overcome these 2 huge obstacles that face them before the season even begins. To be even JUST 500 after the 1st 2 months would be a miracle in itself.

September 15, 20169 yr Author Honestly, if AJ wants to be on a broadcast, he should immediately be a national guy working for Fox or MLB Network. He's already that good.

September 17, 20169 yr QUOTE (balfanman @ Sep 14, 2016 -> 12:30 PM) That's all well and good but it isn't very smart in my opinion. The thing you're missing the point on is that the teams really don't care about getting games 2 and 3 in. Those can always be made up another time at the same ticket prices. Opening Day, people spend 3-4 times to go to. The off day the day after protects the team from having to possibly offer fans credit on very expensive tickets.
