MLB is having some problems

[The Derski]

Needs less games in a season

I was thinking that too. It would make a lot of records/milestones unattainable though.

Salary cap?

Who cares 162 games is stupid

A lot of people probably care. Including the people actually playing the game for a living.

Unless you’re Anthony Rizzo.

I have been saying that MLB needs to go back to a 154 game season. Should cut down on injuries and lost early season games due to bad weather. No November baseball!

I'd love to watch some live ball in February.

Not for anyone making money it isn't.


Good luck on seeing the 57 year long money maker changing anytime soon.

(I'd be fine with 154, a couple scheduled doubleheaders, extended WC round to 3, Extended division to 7. Start the first full week of April, end when you end now. Money would still be less, so it won't happen.)

Go to Cuba.


I really want to watch Winter Ball some winter, in person.

I get to jonesing for some baseball the day after the Superbowl. I have about a dozen games from the 50s and 60s on cassette tape that I listen to every winter.

Love baseball on the radio. Listened to Tigers and Indians on the Indians broadcast tonight, till it wasn't a contest.

Blaine Walsh and Earl Gillespie on the Braves games. I have one White Sox game from the early 50s that had Jack Brickhouse on the mike.

with that fewer games, they could add to the post season. Those teams that make the playoffs should get rewarded
financially with the playoff games!

so its still rediculously long

Disagree. They could even make it longer by scheduling March games in warm weather cities and domed stadiums. Same number of games. More days off for the players.
