Good guy - I disagree, I think the schedule is appropriate as it stands now. Because baseball is a game where any given team can win on any given night if the pitcher is having a great or bad game (regardless how good or bad the team behind them is), it is necessary to have a long season to accurately separate the teams which can win consistently from the teams that have one or two good pitchers and win on those days.

Brenda - Baseball is an incredibly difficult sport. I believe that it is ranked second or third in least amount of reaction time available to players (behind Indy racing/NASCAR and possibly cricket).

never liked baseball,i like sports where you have to come up with tactics to win


As a diehard baseball fan, I have to chime in that there are some tactics and strategy involved...although I admit that the strategy aspect of baseball is far less than most other major sports.

To play baseball at a high level its not that easy to do, Not many people can pitch 100 mph, not many can hit a ball at 100mph, not many people can steal a base running a 4.3 or hold a lifetime 300 batting average, but hey if that sounds easy more power to ya..Oh I forgot try hitting a curve ball 400ft real easy to do.

Ok are we talking about when you were 10 years old, or at an advanced level?

I'm talking about semi-pro levels here, and there is a lot of skill and strategy involved (again, I admit there is less strategy than other sports, but not less skill).

it what brenda said,you hit a ball and run bases,it doesnt take much thought to do this
as far as tactics go are u kidding me sacrifice bunt, hit and run, positioning your batting line up to hit against lefties. same for right handed pitching , pull hitting, steals double steals, what players in what positions ,catcher calling the signs to the pitcher 3rd base coach calling the signs the manager calling in the plays theirs plenty more..

Alright well I'm definitely not trying to evaluate anyone's talent levels here, but I can definitively say that it is very hard to play baseball on a highly competitive level. It's just my opinion, of course, but for an example...suppose you were driving 65 mph and something jumped out 60 ft. in front of you. Odds are, you would be able to quickly jerk your steering wheel in the time before you got there. But now imagine that it's 80-85 miles per hour, and instead of a small turn of the steering wheel, you have to swing a 2 lb stick and hit a ball the size of your fist (which most likely will not be coming in a straight line).

I respectfully submit that it is very hard.
