Sorry, if you don't have any vacation time left you take an unpaid day.  Or work it out with your manager to work late other days or add some time on the weekend.  

Baseball is the only major sport that plays games during regular working hours on a regular basis.  It's bizarre.  And then to do it for playoff games is flat-out batty.  

people actually complain that the games are shown at night now. It used to be always during the day. there's not really that many day games anymore other than getaway days and weekends

The way they traditionally always line up the baseball playoff schedule is to minimize overlapping games. So they succeed on that front, but screw the fan bases of the teams that play the afternoon games.

You would think that playing games during non-working hours would be a priority.

It's pretty much the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. They can't put on the Jays at 4 for example and start the other game at 8? Done and done.

And Diddle overlapping, give us all a break. Two games on at the same time is better than Texas and Toronto fans being Cussed.

I think Texas is in a different time zone, so for them it's even earlier.

Yeah, it's like 11 AM for them lol.

This is nuts.

Oh, and the Fox Sports 1 broadcast we're stuck with is terrible. No pitch tracker?

Uh-oh.

Was it SD who predicted that Price is an automatic win?

Definitely not.

Diddle Donaldson is out now

What happened to Donaldson? I'm watching on my tablet but I'm also looking at some code.

There's an odor in the air.

Concussed.

Diddle price isn't great in the post season at all.

Ok..tomorrow is a must win

Not a good start. 2-0, top of the 1st.

Blow jays

Jared Cowbun.

Top of the 12th. They should play extra innings and remove one player every three innings. 10-12 no shortstop; 12-14 take out the centerfielder (just shift over); 15-17 get the other team to supply a non-participating catcher (pitcher covers home).

And if you think that's nuts, how do you feel about 3-on-3 overtime?
