Re: Ways to make Baseball more exciting

Well then why not just do away with the American and National leagues and not have a postseason at all? Make it a completely balanced schedule with no postseason like Bundesliga soccer. Would that satisfy you? Oops with that sarcasm I forgot to spell out why it sucks although my Bundesliga reference should provide a hint. Ok, first of all, interleague play is prositution. For example, the Cubs are going to play the Red Sox this year. This is a matchup that should have occurred in the World Series- and only then. Its sickening really. IN fact, the other sports should make it the way baseball was pre 1997. Then you have some intrique involved with the championship game. It takes something away when the two teams have played. Plus, from a practical standpoint, interleague play can and has really created problems in terms of rescheduling should rainouts occur. If Toronto has a dayoff before a west coast swing its kind of unfair that they would have to fly to Florida to make up a rainout game on that day. Yeah this might happen in intraleague play but its far less of an issue due to the likelihood they will play again.

No Interleague play in every sport? and tell me what you mean by how interleague play is prostitution? If every sport goes with out interleague play then that would get boring fast. A perfect example is football you only play 16 games per year and there is only 16 teams in your conferance so you would play the same schedule every year. It doesnt take nothing at all from the championship.

Re: Ways to make Baseball more exciting

I'm a baseball fan and I'll admit Baseball is a pretty boring sport. The game at times is like watching paint dry.

You don't notice all the dead time while you're at the park as oppose to watching on TV.

When I watch baseball on the tube I usually channel flip between pitches because most of the time it's around 30 secs between pitches.

They need to enforce a rule like no more than 15 secs between pitches. That in itself will really shorten the games.

Raise the mound and 86 the damn DH and interleague and baseball would be perfect. Baseball is not a good TV sport, but there is nothing better than a day at the park. I would love for baseball to bring back the sceduled double-header, but money will get in the way of that.
