I always think there is an unnecessary amount of games in baseball. What is it? 162 in the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know that. When a game is on, I enjoy watching it, it's easy to follow. No idea how many games they play a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to play a lot of games to separate the good teams from the bad teams. It is fairly frequent that the worst teams can beat the best teams in a one off game or even a three game series, as you can’t control baseball games the way you can a football game and more is left to small margins and chance. However, if you play enough games, the difference in quality will become apparent. The best teams will typically win 100+ games, and the worst teams will typically lose a similar amount. 162 might be excessive, I don’t personally think so, but any significant reduction in games played would significantly increase the amount of chance involved in determining who gets to go to the play offs.

I thought they were having a laugh. Do you have to be a top athlete to be a Cricketer? Generally these days you do as fielding, hitting the ball for six and bowling at 90+mph are becoming more important, as well as dealing with the heat in most places it's played (assuming that was a genuine question). I don't really get how you could like baseball more when they barely hit the ball at all in that and have very similar rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
