Bergen Jet Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Yankees opening day - April 6th April 7th - OFF April 8th - 22nd - 15 straight games April 23rd off April 24th - May 10th - 17 straight games May 11th off May 12th - May 27th - 16 straight games May 28th off May 29th - June 14th - 17 straight games They play 65 games between 4/8 - 6/14 with a total of 3 off days... The Yankees NEED a 6th starter to pick up a couple of starts for the benefit of Joba's inning count not to mention Pettitte's/Burnett's/Wang health. Brutal.

Bergen Jet Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 The key is going to be the pen... gotta keep the pitch counts reasonable... 65 games in 68 days to START the season is ridiculous. I think we have to have a 6th starter pick up a couple of starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergen Jet Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Baseball needs to cut their games in half at least... way too many games... In half... or more? If you would have said 152 or 144 game schedules I might be persuaded to agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Yes baseball should cut their games in half. This way they can attract 10% of the 2% that don't like the sport. Great idea, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less games would lead to higher attendance... no more empty stadiums... it would also lead to better play from healthier and well rested players...

Higher attendance. Um, okay let's start with the Yankees. They sell 50,000 seats a night. So please be sure to include a 100,000 seat stadium in your proposal. More well rested players. It is baseball. You play every day for 3 hours and the other 21 you can do what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankees are the exception to the attendance... not the standard... Also... having a ton of games does not automatically equal money... look at the NFL...

MagicBizkit87 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Yankees are the exception to the attendance... not the standard... Also... having a ton of games does not automatically equal money... look at the NFL... Thats why they charge like 4.50 to 5 bucks for a hot dog, and about 7 dollars for beer in Yankee Stadium. They already sell out all of their games, so they have to make money also with the food/beer prices, and people who are tourists will buy stuff, like jerseys, and hats. I personally think the schedule length is just fine, after all players these days are a lot more lazy then they used to be. Closers used to go 3 innings, now they only go 1 inning. Starters a lot of the times used to pitch an entire game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharrow Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Baseball needs to cut the field in half and play with just three bases with 5-6 men on defense, they have to run way too much out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious89x Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Maybe just cut the strikes and balls in half. Like 2 balls is a walk and 1.5 strikes is a K. THAT would be exciting. Thank me later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
