I noticed the Indians have done that this year. Or 6:10. I know I would go to more weeknight games if that were the case. The mariners have been doing more 6pm starts here and they did a session on it recently with the local sports radio station and a lot of parents really liked it. It limits the walkup you'd probably get from a bored after work crowd as people are just getting home around 6pm here, but for parents I can see it being a big deal getting the kids home and in bed by 10 instead of 11 or later.

It wasn't pretty early, but you can do worse as a backend starter on a rebuilding team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I realized that one of the games yesterday was a makeup of a rainout and today's game was already scheduled as a day game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) I was hoping Eloy broke out of his slump last night, but he's back to looking like ass at the plate again. Dude has to hit to have any sort of value. The talent is apparent, and Moncada gives me hope. Edited August 7, 2019 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been saying it was a good signing since he was pitching in march and the velocity was there. You can do a lot worse than Nova as your 5th starter in a rebuild year. And next year bringing him back as the 6th guy and swing man makes a lot of sense. His stats coming into this year suggested he could be a passable 5th starter and that's basically what he's been. If Hahn can do more work like this the Sox won't have to rely on shitty AAAA guys the next few years when injuries inevitably crop up again.

The problem was when Rodon got hurt and with Lopez struggling in the first half, he suddenly became our #2 which meant out SP was a disaster outside of Gio.

Being in the eastern time zone, I would love this. Games usually start at 8 over here so its hard for me to watch the sox most games past the 4th innin, having to get up at 4:30 for work. If they started at 6 central i could watch a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
