Can anyone explain to me the significance of day baseball on week days in the modern, digital era? Is there any benefit teams, fans, etc, receive because of these games? I could understand MAYBE corporations entertaining clients but sure seems like a net negative.

But still take tomorrow off. So what's wrong with a late flight anyway?

That place is a sewer. Drove through there a few years ago and felt really dirty.

Fedde channeling his inner Edwin Jackson.....No-No with a ton of Walks

he's at 4 BB, 0 Hits right now.

I'm not one to Jinx, so you didn't hear/read this from me.

Certainly makes sense on travel days when there's not an off day, but yeah, doesn't seem like much of an equalizer. With a league obsessed with revenue, you'd think they'd end this nonsense.

For f's sake let's get some runs! :D
