not that we're worried about the Angels...

but in a 60-game schedule, LAAA drawing the Dodgers 6 times is a disadvantage when Houston only plays LAD 4 times and Oakland only 3 times

And 6 of 10 in Anaheim. Our 3 against the Padres are in SD. We get the Giants for 3 but the DBacks for 6.

Either this is fishy or I'm being pissy.


I harped on this before, but it just doesn't make sense to have unbalanced home-away, especially with the number of games against each team.

Want to reduce travel? Play two 5-game series against each division opponent. Balanced schedule, less travel. Done.

strangely enough...I'm okay with the Astros missing the Blue Jays this year.

Toronto went 8-11 vs. NYY last season. They played the Bombers tough.

if the Jays' young hitters take another step forward, they'll give New York some trouble in September

The Texas teams shouldn't be in the west.

add 2 teams
2 leagues of 16, 4 divisions of 4
no matter where the new teams are it'll be easier to minimize logistics/mileage
might have to shuffle nl/al some, but that'll be easier if dh is universal

Didn't realize it was that simple. Why didn't Manfred do that before making the Astros & Rangers travel so much this year???

I made a spreadsheet a while back the completely reorganized the league and divisions to be better geographical fits while still incorporating big time rivalries. I'll see if I can find it tomorrow. I'm pretty sure it involved adding two teams.. one west and one East. It made a lot of sense.

the problem with the Astros and Rangers not belonging in the west is that there is nobody to switch with that also makes sense geographically with 5 team divisions

If you're that scared of COVID Chandler then just stop working and let someone else take your role...I'm sure there's plenty of people that can tweet stupid things a few times a day when games are going

Astros beat writer who (in my opinion) comes across as very negative towards the Astros. Many would say he comes across as whiny too.

He writes for the Chronicle. Don't bother giving him the clicks. Stick to McTaggart.

I hope we get some of the Astros intra-squad scrimmages on ATTSN.

Are there going to be any "summer training" games between teams or is it all intersquad until we strap it up 7/24?

I am probably in the minority but with the trade off being our west coast games are at 8pm also, I kinda don't mind it. Sure beats a bunch of 9pm games.

Other than those that eat supper at 4:30 or those with a parent that makes them go to bed before 10, who else is against it?

8:00 is great.

I guess the trade-off is fine. It's just annoying not to get 710 games like normal. With so many west coach road games (~40% of the schedule) its great to avoid the 910 games.

8 is great for me. I usually always set games to record then start about 8:30 anyways once the kids are in bed and the wife watches whatever else. Allows me to fast forward through commercial breaks and enjoy constant baseball for the first 2hrs or so
