"This isn't the time to win 9 straight. That was the first week of the season. Things like that do make me wonder about how different the season would be if you were able to flip-flop things like that. Atlanta was 47-50 at the break, but if you change the season-opening horror week into a 7-0 stretch, they'd have been 54-43. Granted, the exchange probably means an epic collapse now"
"Instead, let's go back to happier times. Here are the highlights from a certain series in 1995. My wife does not understand days like this, and honestly, neither do I. It seems a scheduling failure to not have at least a third of the league playing every night. I know it's not that easy and making the league's schedule must be a labyrinth of the highest order, but you are just ceding interest to everything else when a night like this"
An early-season 0-7 stretch versus a 7-0 week would have shifted Atlanta from 47-50 at the break to 54-43, illustrating how scheduling variance can reshape standings and potentially trigger later collapses. A specific 1995 series provided memorable highlights and nostalgia. Many nights during the season feature too few games, leaving fan interest ceded to other options. League scheduling is complex and labyrinthine, but allowing minimal game coverage during September pennant races undermines engagement when most fans and teams should be focused.
