Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 1387009, member: 837"] I like 162 games but don't really care if they want to shorten it. But I'm not sure I understand why baseball should be taking notes on playoff berths or scheduling tips from the NBA. I mean, this is a league that more or less admits that the regular season is a joke with teams tanking for draft picks and players resting for the playoffs, which are the only thing that matters. They also have way too many teams in the playoffs which means they have sub-.500 in the playoffs every year. I mean, that is absurd. MLB's season might be too long -- whatever I'm completely ambivalent about pace of play and length of season issues -- but I actually really like the playoff structure and the fact that the regular season matters in a big way.
