Bottom line. It makes the game better!

To you....

Bottom line. It makes the game better!

Disagree....

The single worst thing that happened to the game was the DH. The next worst thing to happen is the unbalanced schedule of Interleague play. Both sacrificed the game for money. Pitchers become even worse hitters because they don't bat in the minors due to the DH. Some teams in the same division get an unfair advantage over others due to the fact that they get to play more games against weaker teams due to Interleague play.

Frank, could you be a more specific on what you're excited about?

 

[DodgerKing]

Frank, could you be a more specific on what you're excited about?

I don't think we want to know. Some things are better left secret.

Al won 16 more games making an 8 game difference between the two
AL 134 to NL 118

 

[RonMort046]

Thanks! I couldn't find that info on MLB or ESPN for some reason.

If the AL won 16 more games, wouldn't the NL be 16 GB ?

 

[mdonnelly]

NL is 16 games back. If the NL had won 8 more, they'd be tied.

 

[BillD1984]

Since 2003 the Red Sox are a MLB best 93-57 in interleague play.

Of course, that doesn't include 8-0 in World Series games.

Actually, there is no game difference between the two. Each league has played 252 games.

If the AL won 16 more games, wouldn't the NL be 16 GB ?

Yep. The term "Games Behind", as used in baseball standings, is defined as the number of games a team would have to play and defeat the first place team to be virtually tied with it, which is to say, to have the same, absolute won-loss differential.

NL is 16 games back. If the NL had won 8 more, they'd be tied.

Yes, but only because all eight of those games would have been against the AL, so the AL would have won eight fewer. It wouldn't ever work out that way if the competitive field was larger than two,

Actually, there is no game difference between the two. Each league has played 252 games.

"Difference" is in reference to win and loss differential, not number of total games played

 

[DodgerKing]

If the AL won 16 more games, wouldn't the NL be 16 GB ?

No. If the NL won eight more of those games, they would be tied.

 

[Jimbo]

No. If the NL won eight more of those games, they would be tied.

Gotcha
