I am completely against the Yankees and Red Sox playing a two game series in England.

Posted by Krusty (aka Krustylu) Mar 20 '18, 06:13

First, a two game series isn't a series. It's crap. Three games should always be the minimum for a series.

Second, I don't want the games being broadcast at a time when the fans of the team can't watch the game.

Third, why would they do this? The British don't give a shit about baseball and MLB shouldn't be looking to bring the game overseas when they have Canada and Mexico both looking to add teams.

What if they use cricket rules? -- nm - Beast of Baron Mar 20, 06:34
Who's going to contribute more to the internationalization of baseball? Nations with stakes already in the game, or nations that are untouched? - Will Hunting Mar 20, 06:29 5

- I don't care about that at all. I care about my team playing their games for their fans and not flying to - Krusty Mar 20, 06:33 1
  - They're not going to grow a fan base from people that don't play the game, ever. If they played at all then it might make sense but the only game - Krusty Mar 20, 06:38
- pro sports here are dying to try a franchise in Europe. - groiny Mar 20, 06:31 1
  - Unless they've invented the teleporter, then it could work. -- nm - Krusty Mar 20, 06:39

    - That's true. I'm not a fan of change in certain areas, especially with baseball. Though, I do like the DH and would add it to the NL. - Krusty Mar 20, 06:27 4

        Why Yikes? He was third in the Cy Young last year. He's our best pitcher and has nasty stuff. Did we watch the same guy last year? -- (edited) - Krusty Mar 20, 06:34 2

        Come on. He's shown he's so much better than Hughes who also had health issues. Severino was our best pitcher last year and it wasn't close. - Krusty Mar 20, 06:43
    - just wait till they start putting a runner on second bas to start extra innings... - Beaker Mar 20, 06:24 1
      - I read a very good argument for why it's a good idea but only in the minors. - Krusty Mar 20, 06:30
  - Just read Dawson's cranky old man posts throughout this board - ty97 Mar 20, 06:23 2
