start times

[Richard]

Can MLB please start a ALCS or NLCS game or World Series game before eight o'clock? It's too late! Why can't they start a game at 7:20pm instead of 8:20pm. How can they build a fan base of younger viewers if the games start so late?

Always been a problem of mine too. I understand the West Coast aspect but hell, some of these games end well after midnight. I cant tell you how many WS games i have missed because i have fallen asleep.

I agree. Some of us actually have jobs and have to get up in the morning. I missed almost all of the 2005 World Series even though one of my favorite teams (the Astros) were it in for the first time. I usually have 8 AM classes to teach, and I'm in school all day. I'm not going to be a zombie in class over baseball.

The least they can do, if they absolutely need the game to be prime time EST, is to move up the pregame show and even cut down on it. Just because Fox and Jeannie Zelasko believe Kevin Kennedy is the irreproachable baseball voice of God doesn't mean he can't go on earlier to share the ultimate view anyone will ever hear and take to their grave with them.
