Current cst time1/9/2023 ![]() ![]() Playing the game to get the gate is important, but so is a level of keeping players healthy. Toss in COVID protocols, and teams have a curious balance to keep. Computer programs can’t eliminate injuries from players being tripped. No, this doesn’t sound “eliminate days off and double-headers in baseball”, at all. At least, for the good teams.Īs such, three games in eight or nine days isn’t out of the question. Champions Leagues, and similar premises, are the rule, not the exception. Teams, especially the more elite ones, play in multiple schedules at the same time. Leagues, though (tell me when this starts to sound familiar), want to have more dates with more games.
