1:00 PM Friday Start - Idiots!

[Team G]

What is MLB & TBS thinking? Pull kids out of school & miss work to go to a game? BS!!
Good job growing your fan base MLB.

Call the D-Backs if you're as pissed-off as I am:

Not sure about other Districts, but the Mesa School District doesn't have school on Thursday and Friday... I know, since my boy goes to elementary school in Mesa.

You're lucky, I think Mesa and Chandler are the only ones out. The start time was set by TBS for the East Coast. I guess they didn't want them to stay up late, on a FRIDAY NIGHT! It's better to screw the local fans - Thanks TBS!

 

[Zeno]

This is great news for me, I have had to follow all the games on radio or internet because I work nights. A day game is perfect.

Aside from Mesa & Chandler--Gilbert is out of school too(my niece goes to school there).

Some schools in Tempe are out. My son and daughter do not have school this week.

Well, IF YOU CAN GO, DO GO!! We need to sell the place out anyhow. They must have a deal with Fox not to run the NLCS directly against the ALCS. Therefore, we all know who gets prime time.

 

[crisper57]

Let's see. The East Coast Primetime starts at 4pm Arizona Time. The AZ Primetime starts at 7.

The East Coast considers the NL inferior and they have zero interest in this series.

Yet, even though the East Coast could still have a primetime game (in their time zone) and start us later, the brain trust at TBS decided to ensure that the only people who care about these teams will be guaranteed to miss these games...or at least make difficult decisions about watching these games.

No one on the East Coast is going to rush home to see these games in primetime, so why not play them later? It's not like they'd stay up to see them either.

I am furious about this. Anyone who doesn't think there is an East Coast bias is an idiot. It screws us over, even when there should be no time conflict.

Boycott TBS!!! Are they punishing our fans because their beloved Cubbies got swept?

 

[abomb]

If anything, this game should be at 8PM being a Friday at all. Baseball is stupid.

/still going to game 1

 

[arthurracoon]

JUST STUPID.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Tempe Union and Kyrene are on fall break...my only issue is that I'll be working and will have to record it.

 

[Team G]

They changed the time to 7:00 PM !
Good job everybody who complained to the D-Backs & TBS!!

Wouldn't that be 'beloved Braves'?

 

[Mike Olbinski]

This sucks, I was all pumped to get off early on Friday and go to the game

Cubbies would have brought the ratings.

All is well. The game time was moved. Apparently the East Coast decision makers realized there was no interest in our series in their time zone. They don't care if this is late over there anymore.
