Just a reminder that the Sox wrap up in Oakland this afternoon with first pitch at 3:37 PM EDT. What ever will I do between the hours of 10 PM and 1 AM?
Let's go, Nick!

- Start date
Speaking of the hours between 10 PM and 1 AM, I believe that this is the only true west coast road trip of the season. Right after the All Star break they open with 3 games at the Dodgers (I believe there is just one 10 PM start) and the Colorado for 3 games which I think are 8:10 or 8:40 start times.
Thanks for the reminder. I would have been opening up the MLB app at 9:40 tonight.
Just 7 games starting at 9:40 or later with 6 of them out of the way as we head into the April 9th home opener. Sign me up for this same exact schedule every year.
Yup, amazingly they have only one more "late night" game (i.e. after 9 pm Eastern start time) remaining this season. And that's on a Friday (7/19 @ LAD) so at least it's not a school night. They have a bunch of Central Time Zone games that will get going at 8:10 pm Eastern, and yes, two of the games in Colorado don't get underway until 8:40. But that's a lot better than 10 pm!
Of course, rainouts, TV rescheduling and so on could cause a few changes. But otherwise you East Coasters are almost completely out of the woods after this road trip.
I listen to the games on the radio and then watch the highlights the next day. Gotta say, I kinda love Oakland's uniforms.
Do they still have the dark green or just the kelly green? They had both last year. Not a big fan of the dark green.
No way. I'll be at Sunday's game. Maybe we should hook up.
Happy for you east coasters to get these out of the way. Also happy for us west coasters...I like games starting at 4 or 4:30.
once every twenty years sounds about right.No way. I'll be at Sunday's game. Maybe we should hook up.
As an aside, anyone know why there were so many day games across baseball yesterday? The Sox hosted the latest start time, which I don’t remember happening for a weekday game in years.
I think everyone played on Monday because of Jackie Robinson Day, which means lots of series ended yesterday and had getaway games. There are only 5 games today. 2 start a weekend series, 2 end a weekday series. I couldn't tell you why the Rangers/Tigers game was a day game. The Angels/Devil Rays, who play a day game today, had a 6:50 start last night.
There were five games played on Wednesday and three of the visiting teams will be playing in a different city today (one of them ending its road trip).
