      I remember growing up it was 7:35 start times, now all 30 teams start well in advance of that

      I believe part of the agreement for the Braves new stadium was later start times to not add traffic to the already heavily trafficked area.

      Game start so much earlier now than even 15-20 years ago. It wasn’t uncommon for games to start at 735 local time. 40-50 years ago post 8pm starts were the norm.

      The Dodgers go out of their way to make East coast fans choose between baseball and sleep…

      The White Sox one year (maybe more? I don’t remember) started a bunch of their home games at 7:11pm as part of a sponsorship deal with 7-eleven.

      The mariners moving to a 640 start time is the best thing this team has done in years.

      Playoff run was nice too.

      I have always wondered about the Angels‘ start time. Are they like trying to micromanage traffic patterns to avoid inconveniencing Disneyland attendees or what?

      MLB: scheduling playoff games in the middle of the workday since 1706, or whatever the fuck else this tired ass sport thinks is “tradition”. Every 5 years the average age of the MLB viewer gets 5 years older. Pitch clock was the only thing coming close to stopping the bleeding.

      I was going to ask why the Diamondbacks don’t start later (when it’s cooler), then remembered it’s now hot AF 24 hours a day during the Summer (and Spring and Fall).
