SilverBullet 1,670 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I actually think the one year with less games is the worst year to add more playoff teams. Whoever wins the World Series this year is already gonna forever get the "well that season had less games" shtick and I only think that's fair if everything else is fair and equal. But imagine if the 12th best team actually wins the world series that would be even worse. Link to post Share on other sites

DTrain 106 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 At this point if they are playing regular season games end of June/July I will be thrilled regardless of the playoff structure. I need baseball. Link to post Share on other sites

But imagine if the 12th best team actually wins the world series that would be even worse. Well, I think the idea of an expanded playoff is to "account for" the rise/downfall teams often experience toward the end of the season. The juggernaut that falls apart, the team treading water getting hot, etc. By expanding the playoffs this year only, I think the thought is that you'll make up for the lack of games for that to happen by putting them in the playoffs. Not saying it's right, but the season is already messed up to begin with. Link to post Share on other sites

There's no need to make up for a lack of games because even in a shorter season every team will have played the same number of games so it would still be fair across the board. The season isn't exactly messed up, it's just shorter. Link to post Share on other sites

mystikol87 90 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I will be angry if more sports league take from a limited pool of available tests and medical staff to make money. Don’t get me wrong — I’d love to see games. But we’re all sacrificing, and this kind of profiteering makes me sick. And the support of federal health officials doesn’t mean shit to me if they’re under Dump’s thumb. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AeroFishOne 62 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 What money is really going to be made though if they have no crowds. Advertising money would be it really along with merchandise but that’s a year round thing . Don’t know how much that would stack up. I don’t know the breakdowns in revenue. I wonder if people who have already paid the mlb.tv seasons will see anything back? Link to post Share on other sites

SonOfJack 1,714 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 What money is really going to be made though if they have no crowds With no original programming on TV and potentially no other sports there would likely be more national games so that'd be some revenue. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think people are so hungry for sports that there potentially would be huge viewership and tons of advertising revenue. Link to post Share on other sites

Cause there wouldn't be interleague if they do this. Link to post Share on other sites

The familiarity of areas should be of help for players, as most rent spring training homes. Could have their families with them. Link to post Share on other sites
