Shorten the regular season by scheduling regular day-night double-headers, perhaps weekly -- no loss of gate while keeping 162-game schedule. I've heard the arguments against it, all of which are lame when placed against ending the season by mid-October. I absolutely loathe watching baseball in winter-like conditions. I also tend to dislike anything that lessens the importance of winning in the regular season; i.e., more play-off teams. Four teams per league suffices for me. However, I'd have only two divisions per league to facilitate more games against more teams.Last edited by moldyoldie; 11-03-2012, 03:53 AM.

When you bump into posters adamant that the postseason system in place when each league had 8 teams and only white players was the absolute best way to choose a World Champion... That was my point.

Expanding from 20 teams to 30 is literally a 50% increase...
As to the rest... meh. The current format (that is, 2013) is the best it's been in my lifetime, relative to my tastes. Sure, if I was in charge I'd tweak a few things (equalized schedules between division rivals, division-vs.-division interleague on a rotation, 7-game DS), but there are more important issues for me too (fair sharing of broadcast revenue, tighter and simpler transaction and affiliation rules, instant replay carefully expanded)...
But hell, overall baseball is great these days. Anyone who can't see that--thinks what we just saw is "worthless," or not compelling--well, I don't know what to tell you. This may not be your game.

I wound like to see the season kept the same but shorten the post-season to 3, 5, and 7 game series in that order...
Get the first few rounds of the playoffs over with sooner but still allow for a full 7 game World Series if needed.

Plus, as an added bonus, the 2012 WS is the first to be released on Blu-Ray!

Originally posted by Honus Wagner Rules View PostThe only thing that really concerns me is the possible bad weather in late October. I'm all for the World Series ending by October 15 at the latest. Teams could add some doubleheaders to the regular season schedule but I think the players hate doubleheaders. I miss the scheduled doubleheaders from my youth.
