I actually watched several innings of the games at the Alamodome just because of the uniqueness of it.kt1000https://www.blogger.com/profile/08119453717717924501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075251516543448143.post-40575263680137780912013-04-02T11:21:19.134-07:002013-04-02T11:21:19.134-07:00Truthfully, I actually liked the exhibition games ...Truthfully, I actually liked the exhibition games in a place other than the team's home ballparks--maybe the Giants could play a game in Fresno or Reno and the A's could play an "exhibition" game at Raley Field in Sacramento? But the whole play one game on Sunday night and call it "opening day" just seems a little too NFL-ish to me. It's as though Bud and the rest of MLB think to themselves "gee, it works great in the NFL, why not try it in baseball?"RaiderUtenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075251516543448143.post-85314852060308946942013-04-02T08:37:35.405-07:002013-04-02T08:37:35.405-07:00I find it interesting that some teams play "e...I find it interesting that some teams play "exhibition" games before the season and some just stay in Arizona/Florida playing spring training games or teams like the Yankees play West Point. <br /><br />I agree they should have all teams break camp on the same day, rest for a couple of days, and then have them all start the year on a Monday. Then you can have a few of those teams take days off on Thursday and the rest the following Monday. Teams like the Astros don't need two days off in a week. That's ridiculous. 49er16https://www.blogger.com/profile/07480858283150569377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075251516543448143.post-5616114637744960242013-04-02T06:09:48.485-07:002013-04-02T06:09:48.485-07:00Why not just take 3 or 4 days off to start the sea...Why not just take 3 or 4 days off to start the season and then have an Opening Day instead of having exhibition games at home, or in the case of what happened here in Salt Lake, have the Rockies play the Mariners? (Not to mention Dinger was running amok in my town. I was this close to calling Governor Herbert to see if he can put a stop to that sort of foolishness.) Further, the "exhibition" games the Giants always play the weekend before the season seems so pointless to me. Wasn't that the whole point of spring training to begin with?RaiderUtenoreply@blogger.com
