Thursday is a travel day, which must be confusing for the Dodgers<\/a> bullpen as a collective unit, seeing a day in which they will not be used, and used heavily.<\/p>\n

But this isn\u2019t a post about the taxed relief corps<\/a>, or the state of the Dodgers pitching roster<\/a>. This is more about what happens once the schedule resumes on Friday.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers are playing the Mets this weekend at Citi Field in New York<\/a>, then conclude the road trip against the Guardians at Progressive Field in Cleveland. All games on the trip are in cities on eastern daylight time, which means early starts for us here out west. The upcoming games in question:<\/p>\n

Friday at Mets, 4:10 p.m. PT
\nSaturday at Mets, 4:15 p.m.
\nSunday at Mets, 4:10 p.m.
\nMonday at Guardians, 3:10 p.m.
\nTuesday at Guardians, 3:10 p.m.
\nWednesday at Guardians, 10:10 a.m.<\/p>\n

Many people work a Monday-to-Friday job, so the weekend game times don\u2019t affect schedules as much. And Wednesday\u2019s morning start is its own animal, and we\u2019ve already discussed the rare opportunities for breakfast and baseball here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But that leaves three Dodgers games on this road trip that might infringe on what is considered a standard work day, or at least part of it. Which leads us to today\u2019s question:<\/p>\n

How do you consume east coast Dodgers games?<\/p>\n

Do you listen to the first few innings on radio, then pick up the action on television once you get home? Do you plan your work day around the schedule, e.g. leaving early to watch the entire game? Do you have to skip the games entirely because of the start times?<\/p>\n

Please let us know in the comments below. And then we can think about the answers during a week in which there will likely be daylight after the end of games. Truly wondrous times indeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thursday is a travel day, which must be confusing for the Dodgers bullpen as a collective unit, seeing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":46693,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2406],"tags":[5,283,4684,6451,39,11289,438,181,440,176,1165,4332,4333,774,57,3224,4331,4,9892,173,4833,4015,6858,14680],"class_list":{"0":"post-46692","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-dodgers","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-blue","10":"tag-category-community-comments","11":"tag-daily-question","12":"tag-dodgers","13":"tag-eastern","14":"tag-exclude","15":"tag-front-page","16":"tag-games","17":"tag-in","18":"tag-la","19":"tag-la-dodgers","20":"tag-ladodgers","21":"tag-los-angeles","22":"tag-los-angeles-dodgers","23":"tag-losangeles","24":"tag-losangelesdodgers","25":"tag-mlb","26":"tag-played","27":"tag-the","28":"tag-time","29":"tag-true","30":"tag-watching","31":"tag-zone"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/114552617499171478","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46692\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
