I've heard the warm weather teams have pushed back against this since they want home games in summer too. Weather is better and they don't have to compete against NBA/NHL playoffs (and later NFL). Either way, we just happened to have exceptionally shitty April weather this year. Most seasons are fine. Thankfully this isn't an issue in the PBL since I played nearly every game at home in April.

This year definitely is an anomaly for sure.
The funniest comment I got on the article was that kids are in school now and that you would be hurting teams by taking away games when kids aren't in school.
I really doubt the Dodgers would take that big of a hit, I mean their fans show up for what 3 innings a game?
It's interesting how the NFL adjusts schedules somewhat on weather, especially heat, but there is so much push against it in MLB. So much so that it seems more people are for less games.

I think they just need to start the season later and sprinkle in some scheduled double headers like the older days

I do think the season is too long. 154 games or less would be optimal that way you can start in end of April. One thing I really hate is how long the playoffs take. Way to many travel days. Literally 30+ days to play a max of 20 games for any one team (1,5,7,7).

I'd be more interested in a truly balanced schedule, and if that means getting rid of interleague I'd be all for it.
