Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5337184, member: 1268"] Yup - and it gives fans a reason to stay engaged. When you’re the fan of the Rockies, and your season is over 2 months in, why care? Maybe in that last quarter you expand rosters and call up young guys to revitalize for a run. It’s adds a new layer of texture and strategy. I don’t think they’ll ever cut the season shorter due to historical records/stats. This would be a way of maintaining it. It also makes more sense in this age of pitch counts. Teams that win a playoff spot in first quarter can rest key SPs strategically over remainder of season. The current system make no sense anymore. MLB has been slow to the punch to adapt, but seems ready. Soccer may close gap but I don’t it ever laps MLB. It has a ceiling culturally. I find it outrageously boring personally. A lot of kids play it because it’s so basic they can, but usually check off into the major sports when older if they are true athletes with size. [/QUOTE]
