The State of the Game- MLB

[familytoad]

Not the Mariners
I'm a lifelong Phillies fan, but the Mariners are team B since it's just a few hours away and every game is covered on TV here.
They have a great fan base ,a terrific stadium and "own" the whole NW portion of the country. They are KEEPERS

I recall when both KC and Minnesota were in talks of contraction. That would be terrible as those teams have winning traditions.

I don't want any team to be disbanded, but if you HAVE to pick a couple, I agree with the Marlins and Rays. Why they don't draw fans is debatable but they should have to "put up" or "shut down".

Just kill the DH and the 40-man roster nonsense, maybe add 2 players year round and that would be a start!

Pitchers are simply never going to be the workhorses we saw in the 60's and 70's since the clubs just have too much to lose. I think getting better, " lights out " relief pitchers like many teams have been doing is a good thing. Of course these type of games can be too slow paced for some folks (not me, I love baseball anyway)
