Greg, you would be the first one Dbagging MLB if your beloved Cardinals opened up the season in Japan or Cambodia or whatever MLB decides to play its Opening Day. Or say the Cardinals opened up the year with a 12 game road trip? Tough luck, schedule is tough. There is more than 1 NL team.



Yeah, except I wouldn't be that at all. That's not me. Find another redskinstrawman to fit your argument.

No. They shouldn't know when I have Shakespeare tickets either. If you'd rather watch the draft, go ahead. I'm sure Jerry's sponsors will miss you.

They have 6 months to create the schedule. Interleague baseball is played all year now. Very easy to put the series in late May, June, July, August or September. Or at a minimum find a weekend.

MLB's stupidity and arrogance is why their sport is dying.

They should also take into account the date the NFL schedule is announced, when free agency begins, as well as when OTAs start.

I already said I wasn't watching the draft, nobody gives a fuck about your Shakespeare tickets, and the NFL knows when the World Series is so much so that for a while they wouldn't even put a game on that particular Sunday nite.

MLB is stupid and arrogant in this regard.

Im just saying that if you took the average stats of pitchers who failed to get a win, Samardzija was better than that last night (even taking the conditions into account)

He made some good hitters look silly


Couldn't we say the same thing about Quintana though?

Absolutely


Right, so my thought would be that it probably isn't coincidence that two starters plus a bunch of crappy relievers were all at the top of their game on the same night and that conditions had a whole lot to do with the pitching performances in the game.

I believe both pitchers would have pitched well regardless. Both guys had their stuff working.


Maybe it would have been 3-2, instead of 1-1

I'm a huge fan of Henry V as well as baseball and hockey. I'm sorry you aren't as well-rounded as Jason Bernstein and I. Enjoy your fuckin' draft.

No shit. I've never understood the love for the NFL Draft. Maybe it's because the team I root for usually has no first round picks :lol: Even when they did, I'd be on the golf course checking my phone for draft results. Large men in suits awkwardly embracing an old Jewish man does nothing for me.

Ive gotten into a few drafts. 03-04 I was all in.

It was exciting. Good tv.

Maybe one day MLB can start using computer scheduling where these types of "problems" are solved in seconds.

Twitter is the way to consume the NFL draft. Then you don't have to deal with any of the goofs on TV.

Anyone know if Adam Hoge's 2015 mock draft is out yet? Trying to schedule a road trip to see the Cardinals. Thanks in advance.

Sometime between in late April and early May. I'll send a telegram to MLB head office so they can plan accordingly.

It's like GM and Ford during the go-go SUV years, with disaster lurking around the corner. Doesn't seem like they get it from a marketing perspective. This is the face of MLB scheduling by the way.

And the Kasper interview was dumb too. "Samardzija was so great last night. That's why pitcher wins mean nothing." The willfull ignorance of the fact that Quintana was so "great" as well, along with various and sundry mediocre relief pitchers who were also "great" is exactly why a starter's wins are important. Leury Garcia would have had a low WHIP had he pitched in that game.

How do wins mitigate that?

Since when does anyone need to see what a schedule maker looks like :scratch: :scratch:

Then stop playing interleague games daily. You're playing to win your division or a wild card; play 156 of those games against the other teams who are trying to do so, not a bunch of teams you've safely gone without playing for the better part of a century. The "glitch" is of their own design. You didn't have to move a city that had been in the National League for 50 years. At least Milwaukee had history as part of the NL when they flipped.

People do like these games, whether they're Cubs-Sox, Yankees-Mets, Dodgers-Angels, Giants-A's, Nats-O's, Cardinals-Royals, Brewers-Twins, whatever. That's the only interleague worth keeping. They feel special. Nothing about the Sox playing Washington in April feels special.

No, it isn't easy. And no, MLB should not give a shit about two shit teams playing one another.

It's actually really easy. There are a lot of scheduling systems that easily handle systems that are 100x more complex than 30 teams playing each other 162 times.

I don't think its easy to make the MLB schedule, but there are a mere handful of marquee interleague matchups that should be featured on weekends at some point between May 20th and August 20th. Cubs Sox happens to be one of them.

Compare it to something like the airline industry. The level of complexity isn't even close. Southwest alone has 3,600 flights a day. An entire MLB season is only 2,430 games.
