baseball
-let Pete Rose be eligible for HOF
-more day games. Weekend games and last game of a series should be played during the day. Obviously there would be some consideration for the "hot hot" market teams to have night games
-More games on local TV. I know the reasoning for games on RSN's...more advertising and better coverage. But come on...we're not in a 4 or 5 channel local markets anymore. Put games on subchannels or those "other" (non network) stations in the outlining areas.
-chuck interleague
-balanced schedule
-less delays. Do you need to readjust your gloves, hat, cup, retie your shoelaces after every pitch? lets try and get the games done a little quicker
-154 games..more scheduled doubleheaders. Lets get the playoffs done before Halloweenie. Should be done within the 1st or 2nd week of October at the latest
hockey
-better alignment of teams
-you play each team twice a year
-no touch icing
While I like
most of this, the hockey suggestions won't work.
You can't play every team 2 games... that would only leave 20 some games for the conference/division teams.
As for the baseball, you have players re adjusting everything , like you said, how about the pitcher that takes a week to throw the ball.
There supposively is already a clock on them, but you never see it called.
No games should start after 8 pm
That means the 8 pm games that doesn't start till 8:40. This use to be happening all the time, not so much anymore.
If the game is scheduled for 8, first pitch is 8:07, lets get this thing on the road....
Enough of this traditionalist saying that the game goes at it's own pace, pick it up people.
yankees and Red Sox are a prime example, but most games take too long.
