Playoff game times

[NYChez]

Thursday will be 3:00 or 6:30. Friday will be noon or 3:00. With the Dodgers hosting games 1 and 2 in their series, the Brewer game will definitely be at noon Friday.

Where did these time options come from?

[dlk9s]

Oy. Thursday's times are rough for me. Friday is perfect.

Literally have not seen any of this reported anywhere and it will completely suck if any of it is true.

Cleveland-Houston might get the 12 pm Friday start

I'm fine with any other than the noon option. Hope that doesn't happen.

None of the games should be on a weekday at noon. The MLB flat out sucks when it comes to showing off their product.

[NYChez]

AL games are Friday night. NL during the day. Check your cable guide for verification.

It happens every year on the day that there are four games.

It happened today. ;-)

If that's true then we'd be the noon on Friday since it won't be LA that early

They rotate years as to who gets the early games. This is the NL’s year to get the earlier games so it will not be Cleveland/Boston. It’s going to be the Brewers.

[bill hAll Star]

The MLB is afraid of going up against the NFL very often so they pack a bunch in on other days.

[MrTPlush]

Looks like I will be selling my tickets for both games. Welp, make it to the NLCS I guess. MLB sucks scheduling these games.

My guess is if it is Brewers/Cubs it will be 6:30, if Brewers/Rockies then 3:00.

6:00am launch time from central IL. Tailgate starts at 9:15.

Thursday

the most logical would be for the eastern-most game to be game 1 on Friday. That would be in Boston. Then it would be Milwaukee or Houston, followed by the other, and Dodgers hosting. I really would love for the game to start at around 5pm MST, but I'm worried it'll be earlier.

[B-Train]

To summarize the speculation for Friday game time: Likely noon; possibly 3:00. No chance for an evening start. Correct? Feel free to elaborate.

Was so pumped. Looks like I’ll sell to whoever we are playing and make a buck. MLB are a bunch of fools. No reason multiple games couldn’t overlap.

It couldn't be 3:00 because that would mean the Dodgers would be playing in LA at 10am local time.

TBS has both of the AL games — including Boston and the Yankees potentially. No way that’s during the day. And they aren’t going to split up the TBS games between the day and the night. The 3 pm start is too early for Los Angeles, so it looks like it’ll be high noon on Friday.

[NYChez]

My guess is if it is Brewers/Cubs it will be 6:30, if Brewers/Rockies then 3:00.

Thursday

I believe this is how the Thursday schedule will go down. The Cubs will draw more primetime viewers than the Dodgers, who would draw more viewers than the Rockies.

See my post above. I’m 99% sure they rotate who is early/late in the jam-packed 4 game days with AL and NL and this is the NL’s year for early ones. So the Brewers should almost certainly be the noon game.
