Does a team like the Pirates really lose out by having 3 home games with 10,000 people showing up taken away?

With dynamic pricing models...the good teams with high attendance likely can charge more as there's less games to sell.

I think MLB would go to aluminum bats instead of changing 162 games. I know all the recent rule changes like DH, extra innings rule have been changed and changes stats and records, but games played would be the line in the sand drawn by the stats geeks, a large part of MLB lore.

TV packages annd revenue also dictate those number of games more than in game attendance.

If they ever change # of games it'll be TV revenue that drives it, 100%.

The only reason they'll change is if the national TV revenue from a longer playoffs outweighs the loss of local TV revenue from a shorter regular season AND ticket sales.

I think that would piss off lots of fans, but if there was enough money on the line they'd do it anyway.

Lets see what they have this weekend...

Listening to Buck try to pronounce Schlittler is going to be pretty fun.

Please blow this open Lukes. That pitch count is climbing!

Show me a team in the MLB this year that's been going 7-3 or even 6-4 every ten games most of the year. They've maintained a 2.5+ game lead in the AL East since early July. To me, that's more consistent than I can recall this past decade.

Idea. A channel with only Shulman. No Buck or Yankees crowd sounds

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Baes loaded, 1 out.........make them pay.

That's like a wet dream.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Schlittler doesn't even last 2 innings.........absolutely fantastic.

Start wearing out that pen in game 1.

[flamingred89]

Pretty damn near perfect start.

[FireGilbert]

Holy hell that pitch count. Jays are battling tonight. Love to see the Yankees bullpen in the 2nd.

[Sylvanfan]

This game might take 9 hours at this rate.

I'd be ok with that lol. Friday night. Couple of beers. Battle for the division. I can think of worse things...

[EN FUEGO]

We'll take that absolute gift of a call! Take a seat, Jazz.

[KelVarnsen]

Yankees ball girl is a better fielder than the Yankees players

[flamingred89]

Vlad!

Yankee stadium cheapie!

Love it.

[flamingred89]

The Yankees defense is something...
