10 Degrees: MLB's enormous attendance drop due to bad weather or something far worse for baseball?

There are 162 games, and you want them to cut the number of opponents DOWN? You need 25 games against each division team instead of 15? You need to make sure that the entire nation never gets to see half of the teams and half of the stars? You think THAT improves the sport and its popularity? SMH

Yes.

Any more questions?

The retractable roof ball parks have made the games more comfortable for fans and players. I agree with you.

The Texas Rangers have a new ball park under construction now and it will include a retractable roof, as well.

Watched the Rangers playing at Tampa Bay the last two evenings and the seats appeared to be about 20% full. Today the game will start at 11am EDT, so I expect it will be maybe 10% seating. ....That is one ugly ball park, with all of those overhead catwalks.

These ump bums kill rallies by calling strikes that are way outside the strike zone.

One of the very worst plate umpires on balls/strikes is Angel Hernandez.

At Rangers games, he gives favorable calls to the opposition pitchers and calls balls instead of strikes for the Rangers pitchers. Over the past few years he has tossed players and Managers for getting in his face or yelling from the dugout.

It is way past time to start punishing these umps who make the game theirs with their bad calls.

Send videos of bad calls to a monitoring team of retired umps and start fining these umps for their bad calls.

Also, they do not get to setup their strike zones versus the rules.

We go to these games to see professional ball players do their magic not to see a blind ump do his bs.

Angel Hernandez would be a good one to start some serious monitoring re his bad calls.
