Rosenthal on Realignment

[jersey cubs fan]

The MLB schedule is brutal to try to piece together anyway. I think you guys are underestimating how much harder the "15/15, 1 interleague series at all times" thing would be.

 

It's not hard.

 

Then try it.

 

I did once, ten years ago.

Send it to MLB and they might buy it. I think that's how they still do their schedule.

No, I read an article about how they used to use some mom and pop shop to draw it up but now they use some techies.

And the techies screwed things up, at least at first, with regards to balance in the schedule

constantly having an interleague series going isn't hard

 

making sure every team plays the same number of interleague series while maintaining an 81/81 home/road split is the hard part

I don't think you have to make it equal amounts of interleague games for all teams. If someone gets 2 instead of 3, work it in where they get 3 the next year. It's really not all that complicated. Time consuming, painfully boring and probably not something you would want to draw up with pencil and paper, but for the right price, I'd be happy to do it for them.

The tricky part is that you have to make sure that whatever interleague series you have going on makes sense within the travel schedule of the two teams.
