162 game schedule I love. The longest pro sport season shouldn't have 3 or 5 game series determine who moves on. Hockey and basketball have 7 game series every round,,yes inside sports. Solutions if you have any,here's mine.Spring training is WAY to long cut it by 2 weeks. MLB is going to a balance schedule next year, so have cold weather teams open in domes and warm weather cities where possible. Better to play early season games in cold and inclement weather than the playoffs and World Series.Early season injuries happen every year coming out of spring training anyway so that's not an exuse. March 15th Opening Day, and 7 game playoffs every round, yes or no?
