And yippee we have another west coast trip in May.

The good news is that for the rest of the season there are only 2 9PM games left and those are in
September.

I like the concept of them as a change of pace, though tend to doze off for the good parts. The early games I don't follow much until the latter innings.

i've barely watched any of these. 8:40 is such an odd and unappealing time for me

Being in the eastern time zone now is very strange. Hopefully any potential playoff games on Pacific Time only go 9.

Now that I can stream the games this is becoming an issue.

I kind of like them in a way. I'm usually busy early in the evening, so if I am able to watch a couple innings, then it's usually after the starters are gone. With the west coast games, I at least get to watch the starters for a little bit, even if I'm not able to stay up until the end of the game.

I can handle them since they start an hour earlier out here. But it does keep me up past my old age bedtime.

Some of them I can't even make it to first pitch! The perfect start time for me would be 6:15 central - I get home about 6 and would be able to grab some food while not missing first pitch. If it's a reasonable game, it's over at 9 which is bed time.

Except for Friday/Saturday nights of course when bedtime gets pushed back to 10:00 on some nights when I'm feeling crazy.
