This feels like one of those things people find when they’re just looking for things to complain about. Like that guy at work that complains because he gets too much sleep, and everyone else there (especially those with kids) are just like “Stfu, Rob.”

Reminds me of a friend of mine that was bitching about the baseball schedulers after the Dodgers lost because they got too much time off before their series. Like that team was resting their own players for the last two weeks of the regular season, but those extra two days they had off was the reason they sucked in the playoffs. Stfu, Rob. Really, A’s fans are pathetic? You’re complaining that your players were too rested to play well.

That’s just me though. I do think having more time off at the beginning gives players more time to figure out adjustments, learn the game plans, shake off rust, etc.
