Red Sox 2024 Schedule
- Thread starter RedOctober3829
- Start date
If 6 weeks cuts it too close for you let's say by the end of May. I really didn't think it needed to be that well defined.
But when it comes to parsing out home and away games it does need to be defined for the reasons I stated.
You're the schedule maker. The season starts on, say, (random date) Monday, April 1 of year 20XX. Tell us how you distribute home and away games through Memorial Day, keeping in mind that your proposal takes effect every year in perpetuity until the climate changes.
We're not striving for perfection here, we're trying to lessen early season games being reschedule as double headers or on scheduled off days later in the season. Rain outs put enough of strain on the schedule in that regard, but there's no way to plan around that. Early April games in some areas can be scheduled in domes or climates that are tradionally better suited for early season baseball. IMO, the schedule is better suited for this than it's ever been. You play each team twice. Example so Team(s) Shitty April Weather plays a few of their early series on the road vs Team(s) Dome/Nice Weather and they host the same team(s) in mid-late May
........which means that year after year Team Shitty Weather sells more tickets and generates more revenue by having games at a more opportune time of the season.
Competitively, teams want home games late in the season. Revenue wise, teams want games between mid-May and Labor Day. That leaves April and early May as "shit time" no one wants. In the interest of competitive and financial balance, the "shit games" must be distributed equally.
Why is TPGC so grumpy about this attendance situation? Looks like attendance is identical in April & May, so if everything is fair by the end of May, shouldn't be an issue, right?

What you're suggesting is:
Miami, Tampa, Houston, Texas, Arizona, SD, Oakland, LA, LAA, SF, Seattle, Toronto, Milwaukee, and Atlanta open with a 10-14 game homestand every single year? So the entire AL Central and 80% of the NL Central starts at home in mid-April? Good luck getting that through the MLBPA and the owners backing that.
If you're one of the 14 teams I mentioned, do you want April 1-15 home every year vs May 1-15?
It doesn't have to be every team every year. You're failing to grasp the concept of me not striving for perfection.
i think the red sox and yankees need to open and end the season playing each other like open at fenway close at yankee or open at yankee close at fenway
what i would do is add 8 doubleheaders a season 2 in apail 2 in may 2 in june 1 in july 1 in august this gives the players 8 more off days baked in and the MLB 8 more days to make up games if needed each team wouild play 8 doubleheaders aga Div Opp or close by teams dont know how i would do seattle

If I’m MLB, I want fewer shitty April games, and I really don’t think it makes much difference whether games in other parks are in April or May. But either way, you just seem a little too strident about this issue.
Buy an extra ticket for Elijah?
I forgot we were cycling back to this visit already. Very pumped to have the chance to go to a few actual local games (sans Orange County freeway crawls).
I don’t like how the Guardians and Angels series aren’t spread out
I DO like how home opener is relatively late
