I went to the Mets channel but it's blacked out here. At my parents they don't have the ticket, I don't have it either at my house. I do have the MLB channel and get Cubs games on 742/UVerse. When I get on ESPN.com I can follow any game though play by play which is sweet on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFLfan Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 What is going on with the Cards? Is it the pitching? They have played two of the better offensive teams in baseball.

Colt Cola Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 14 hours ago, 2006Coltsbestever said: If you were the commissioner of Baseball, what are some of the changes you would make that you think would improve our game? Here are mine: 1. Team with the best record in the league gets overall HFA 2. Shorten the schedule to 130 games (instead of 162), start the season in the 3rd week of April and end it by mid September. Start the Playoffs on September 21st = beginning of fall this will assure the WS ends by the end of October. No bad weather from the 3rd week of April through October 31st! 130 games isn't near as long either so the average fan in general will have more interest watching the Regular Season. 3. 6 teams from each Conference make the Playoffs, 3 Division winners, 3 Wildcards - gives the fan of a team more reason to watch and it isn't too many teams. #1 and #2 seeds get a bye (2 teams with the best record) while watching #3 vs #6/#4 vs #5 BEST OF 3 series, 1-1-1, instead of just 1 game like #4 vs #5 is now. #1 Seed gets the winner of the lowest seed like in Football - THEN BEST OF 5 series in Round 2, 2-2-1. The NLCS and ALCS stay the same - BEST OF 7, 2-3-2. WS still the same but team with best record has HFA, 2-3-2. Thoughts? Like most of your ideas...but i dont want to shorten the season any just for stats reasoning, but starting the season earlier and shortening spring training might be an idea there. One change I've always thought might be interesting would be in Interleague games, Switch the DH to the National League home games and make the pitchers hit in American League home games, just to give those fans a different perspective and see something other than what they see the majority of the time.

Yeah I like that idea regarding the DH in the NL, pitchers hitting in the AL. That would be interesting. The main reasons why I am for shortening the season is it would keep the average fan more interested in the Regular Season from start to finish, it would also keep guys fresher for the Postseason. Also in some settings weather can still be bad in early April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in some settings weather can still be bad in early April. I did not see your post from yesterday asking what changes we would make if we were commish. I will think about it and comment later. However, #1 on my list will probably be to get rid of the DH altogether. That will never be approved by the players unless the league agrees to increase the roster spots.

You have the best record, you have earned it IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
