MLB tentatively announces start times for ALDS Games Four & Five
ByMLB announced today that Game Four of the ALDS begin at 8:37pm ET on Thursday unless the Tigers and Athletics have to play a Game Five. In that case, the game will begin at 7:37pm ET. Game Five, if necessary, will begin at 7:07pm ET on Friday unless the Nationals and Cardinals have to play a Game Five. If they do, the Yankees and Orioles will have their game bumped up to 5:07pm ET. Got it? Good.





According to what Chad Jennings wrote you have those circumstances reversed. If the Tigers and A’s DON’T have to play a game 5 then Yanks game 4 will be at 8:37 and if the Nats and Cards DON’T have to play game 5 then Yanks will be pushed back to 7:07.
I think Mike is correct, just worded backwards, if that makes sense.
If it’s backwards, then it’s not right. He has the situations reversed.

It’s backwards. Mike, perchance you would like to fix?
It’s done the way it’s always done; if the other series ends early, the yankee game will start later.
Also, tomorrow’s game will start at 7:37 UNLESS both of the other series are over tonight, in which case the Yankees would be pushed back to 8:37.
How about just having a set time and that’s that. I’m sick of having to solve a riddle just to figure out when the Yanks are playing and what channel they’re on.
Even more incentive for this series to be over in 4.
A 5:05 start on Friday would totally fuck me over.
Screw you East Coast fans, I want all the Yankees games to start at 5.07ET. In fact, pretend every day is the weekend, make it 2.07ET.
Yours lovingly, a UK-based fan
