The doubleheaders, extra innings and even the friggin’ DH — all in the name of “keeping players healthy.”

Protecting big-money ratings investments is more like it.

Postseason is being cheapened. Some could argue it’s a bone thrown to small markets that don’t have the roster depth to win divisions or traditional wild cards. Maybe so. But you can be sure MLB and television root for the usual large market suspects.
