No shite. He's also improving facilities left and right and has facilitated the hiring of phenomenal assistants in all three major sports. I'm sorry you don't understand that you need money to do that, but don't take it out on me.


How does it cost money to schedule better games?

You have to pay the team for an appearance or do a home and away. So you would be giving up a home game (costing $$) or paying a team a much higher price.

2 neutral site games make more money than a home and away.

Because you can't just get decent competition to come into Tiger Stadium without them expecting something in return. This generally comes in the form of a return trip to their stadium. When you visit someone else's stadium for a game, you make basically no money on it. Therefore, forgoing a future home game and giving the other team a return trip to their stadium costs you money relative to other options (such as the neutral site games or scheduling rent-a-wins)
