Mike Scioscia complains about the post-season schedule:
After playing 162 games over 182 days during the regular season, the Angels and Yankees played just eight each over the next 20 days going into Game 6 of the AL championship series, which was postponed to Sunday because of rain.
Los Angeles ended the regular season on a Sunday, then opened the playoffs against Boston on a Thursday.
“I think you lose a lot of the integrity of what the season means when you have three days off at the end of the season to let other teams maybe reset their starting rotation, which is an advantage of clinching early,” Scioscia said. “That’s negated when any team can do it just by getting to the playoffs.”
Here’s my solution. I think Scioscia might approve.

Not only that, but an 8:20 pm start on a school night (work night) is bad as well.
