Could be benching starters early

So we are 3 weeks from the season opener and the Northern parts of Seattle got 7 inches of snow yesterday. I only got 2 but I've got to think even best-laid plans for your starting lineup will have more to do with the weather than anything else for the first 2 weeks or more. I love this game, but I wish it would start later. At least they finally figured out Colorado's schedule this year. Bring back the 154 game season!

Kelly... those of us in NE Ohio really need to hear about snow and baseball. We have already reserved Miller Park for a few home games. (best to you, Ted, and Jose in the battle for the White Division..should be a honey)

Re: Could be benching starters early

Kelly, I agree with you, it's time to shorten the regular season, and increase the playoffs.
Something like 140 games with 6 teams from each league advancing to postseason.

Re: Re: Could be benching starters early

Hey ... how about leaving the 162 games but bring back the scheduled doubleheader to shorten the length a week or two? For what these guys make, playing 5 (or regretfully 6) hours isn't the end of the world.

All of the above could work... But you all know the answer: Money...
