I'm going home
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!

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.

Yep! The Dodgers series is a weekend with currently scheduled 10:10/7:15/4:10 start times, then COL for 8:40/8:40/3:10.

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.
I want the Dodgers at home though

100%. I like the earlier starts so I can catch some west coast games afterward if I feel like staying up late. Being forced to be up past midnight to catch the Sox on a weekday gets old.

Two of the Anaheim games start at 9:38 pm which is not a big difference.

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.

Seems relatively pretty late in the season (Game 7) for the 1st "day baseball today" post.

100%. It's been a slog this week, but it's gonna be great to not have those late-night weeks this season.

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).

It's 8/26/24 and a 2:05 EDT resumption of the suspended game vs Toronto. It's in the top of the second inning and Toronto Blue Jay catcher Danny Jansen will need a pinch hitter to finish his AB because he is behind the plate as the Red Sox catcher, catching Nick Pivetta. Welcome to the Danny Jansen Multiverse.
