Yo 3RA1N1AC, can I steal that for my avatar or sig?

If they start at 7, then it's a 10PM start for people in Detroit to watch their team?

Actually, the games all start at 5pm PDT, not 4:30. Or to be more correct, like 5:08.

All of the games have the same start time. MLB basically picked a time that (supposedly) works best to balance the East and West time zones to maximize exposure/ratings.

Plus, it makes a great reason for me to leave the office at 4!

correct.... and A game starting at 7:00 on the east coast is a 4:00 game for the west coast fans.

weird. I figured it was pre game stuff, but I coulda swore when I turned on the game at like 5:20 or so that it was in the 3rd inning. musta just been off when I figured the math in my head

thanks !

Correct. Maybe they figure it's easier for people to get off work early and watch a whole game than it is to have a game start at 10, and not get over until 1 in the morning, however. And also, starting at 8, it'd start at 5 here.

too late.. Blazinggiants already helped me with where I was off... much less sarcasm too. Thanks for the help though

sorry, wasn't meaning to be sarcastic, or snarky with the original answer. Was just assuming they start it early so it's not super late for the entire TV audience.

my bad and I apolgize for the assumption. The 5:00 totally makes sense. I just thought the start was actually at 4:30 which seemed random and odd being so close to 5:00.

Again sorry for the A-Hole response.

Gotcha, Apologies, I initially thought you were asking more like why don't they start it much later, like they do in the regular season, at 7, instead of at 5.

Nah, it started like right at 5:08. Left work at 5:15. Panda hit #1 at 5:24.

#2 came at like 6:15.

I can tell all of this (give or take a couple of minutes) based on the watching the time on my computer at work while watching the game. Then, based on various phone calls/texts.

Shit that's my job. You a Giants fan?

lol not really. Just a fan of watching good Baseball. I grew up in a Dodger household (Sorry ) but I kinda drifted away from Baseball probably to get at my dad in my rebellious early teens lol. The last couple years (Since I've gotten DVR and can watch games at my leisure) I have been watching more and more. I do enjoy NL ball quite a bit more though. (Dodgers, Giants, Cards, etc) AL Ball kinda bores me though.. except for Texas I have enjoyed watching their team play on their current run.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

fuck the dodgers

Great series so far for the Giants.
