2 notes here. 1. The Dodgers and Angels play 3 Spring Training games over the next 3 days but the Dodgers have already started their regular season. 2. Why do teams start playing Thursday, just to have an off day on Friday? I’ve never understood that.
@Jared_Tims They want all the teams to open on Thursday but the schedule doesn’t work if they’re all 4-game series. Also, it gives a cushion for rain, which may be an issue for the Angels in Baltimore.
@JeffFletcherOCR Fair enough. Always seemed like a wasted off day. Do players care?
@JeffFletcherOCR @Jared_Tims people pay premium for opening day tickets so if the game is delayed, the ticket buyers aren't screwed on missing opening day. Angels don't do it because chance of a rain out is slim
@JeffFletcherOCR @Jared_Tims I was asking myself this exact question. A day off after Opening Day is weird, but can see why now in case of a rain out. Mother Nature is what it is 🌬️
