Joe Lucia Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 "Wants"? Man, you really misinterpreted the shit out of that. All he said is that 154 wouldn't be impossible and that he's not immediately ruling it out if both sides want to talk about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I know neither side would ever go for it, but I'd rather see something more like 144 games rather than 154. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhammedboehm Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Can we just get a schedule where every team plays the same number against other teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lucia Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Neither 154 or 144 would really effect the "the season is too damn long!" crowd. Going to 154 would probably just result in eight more off days being sprinkled throughout the current schedule, while going to 144 would probably end up just chopping a week off the schedule and no one would give a shit. By the way, Tabe - your "take as long as you want getting in, but don't bitch if you only get two warmup pitches" proposal for relievers is part of the commercial break thing. The timer starts at 2:25 (local) or 2:45 (national), and they've gotta throw their last pitch by the 30 second mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either one of those outcomes is fine with me. I think more days off would improve quality of play, even if just marginally.

Cristobal Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Can we just get a schedule where every team plays the same number against other teams? 3 games against other-league teams + 6 games against same-league, non-divisional teams + 12 games against divisional teams = 153.

Kuetsar Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Fuck that noise. If he actually wants to improve the game, get rid of inter league play and the 2nd wild card. NEVER happening I know . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why exactly? You cut down there travel, as well as the NL central teams travel. Houston in the AL West makes perfect sense. You don't cut down the Astros' travel. Sure, Arlington's not so far, but Seattle, Oakland, and LA are all farther away from Houston than any of the NL Central teams. Mean average air miles between Houston and the NL Central cities is 932, vs 1,276 for the AL West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuetsar Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Baseball had only one thing on the other sports and that was tradition. Bud Selig, like the used car salesman he is, took a dump on it for short term gain. If they were going with this idiotic scheme of interleague play every day, they should have moved Milwaukee back, but no. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
