Happy Tuesday, Red Sox Nation! The boys in Boston are set to kick off a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies today, marking the fifth National League opponent they've faced in the season's first month. This is all part of MLB's "balanced schedule," a change that's been around for a few seasons now. Instead of facing division rivals nearly 20 times a year, every team now gets a chance to play everyone—from coast to coast. It's a shift designed to create more variety and excitement, but honestly, it still doesn't feel quite right to me. There's something about those classic, grind-it-out series against Baltimore 19 times a year that felt like the heart of the season. So, I'm curious: how do you feel about the balanced schedule? Do you miss the old divisional rivalries, or are you loving the fresh matchups? Talk about whatever you want, and be good to one another.
