OT: With baseball's shortened 60 game season, will there be those saying 60-80

[upstater]

games is just right?

"Oh, but the stats and records."

Yeah, 80 games sounds about right to me.

Start the season in May, end in early September.

I’m sure there will be people just like there have been people, but neither the players nor owners will cut it that short and leave so much money on the table.

 

[Caronimo]

I bet baseball and other sports get cancelled by September just like what happened with everything else in March.

 

[Chin Diesel]

It is going to be near impossible for me to be interested in baseball at all this year. I am officially completely disisnterested in any more NBA this year.

 

[mauconnfan]

It's to the point of who cares for baseball and NBA. Winner could be anyone, hope the Pirates or Orioles win it in baseball.

Just care about UConn and Big East hoops, please make it happen.

 

[Chin Diesel]

I think a regular season in baseball of around 150 games is the right number. April-Sep. Average 25 games/month and you get your 150.

150 is a good whole number, Its just that the union and the owners are always at odds, and IDK if they will ever be able to settle on something, especially when it comes to shortening the season. That may happen, but what it takes to get there will not be pretty.

 

[Scoe]

We gotta learn to live with this, until there’s a cure. You can’t just shut everything down again, we should be more prepared then we were in March.

 

[Palatine]

Given the sports desert we are wandering through. I'll probably watch.

 

[donyell34]

I'll watch for sure and a 60 game season shoud be entertaining, basically a sprint to the finish.

 

[mauconnfan]

Can you imagine the SEC in a huge football game knowing their Heisman potential QB or RB tested positive on Wednesday but really is feeling great? Think they report it? I mean I hope so but we are talking about football in the SEC.

 

[upstater]

I've been watching soccer for a month.

I love the enhanced (tv simulated crowd noise) productions.

 

[Scoe]

Baseball is the sport you could pull this off, it’s more doable I should say. The UFC has done it I know there’s less numbers involved but guys are breathing on each other.

They should expand by 2 teams and go back to 2 divisions/ league. Play a balanced schedule with around 150 games. Take the 2 division leaders give them byes in playoffs and then the next 4 best records are the first round matchups

 

[glastonbury50]

I'll watch for sure and a 60 game season shoud be entertaining, basically a sprint to the finish.

This is my thought exactly. Basically just starting off with all teams in a good playoff race. My prediction: Yanks go 55-5 and take the series.

Anyone could win but not the Orioles.
