All In Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 No idea, but I kind of like it. I do do. Wish the Reds and all Eastern time Zone teams would do this. See a game and home at 10. As is now, close to mid getting home when you have hour drive. Think it would be better for everyone, at least during the week. Keep the 7:10 for Friday and Saturday nights only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMustangFan Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Would make it a helluva lot harder for people to get to the game's by first pitch though...7:10 is already difficult enough for a lot of working families during the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of Reason Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 The 6:10 start is a new scheduling strategy being tried out by the Indians and I think a couple other teams as well. They are doing this for April and May games and then in the summer pushing the time back to the 710 start. Kids still in school is part of it.

There's tons and tons of kids at games during the week in April and May,as well as all summer. I got out of a game last week(Pirates) at 10:15 and Disney on Ice was letting out next door at Bank Arena. Times mean nothing to parents and kids during the week, school or otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkuclubbaseball19 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 They mentioned something on the TV broadcast yesterday about how since there isn't a residential area in downtown Cleveland, they are trying the games at 6:10 to get more people to come straight from work.

MJAlltheWay24 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 [/b] There's tons and tons of kids at games during the week in April and May,as well as all summer. I got out of a game last week(Pirates) at 10:15 and Disney on Ice was letting out next door at Bank Arena. Times mean nothing to parents and kids during the week, school or otherwise The attendance numbers every year at GABP for weekday evening games before school gets out and goes back in versus the middle of the summer would say other wise every single year. Attendance at GABP is very much affected by school being in during April, May, some of August, and September. Moving the games up to 6:10, would make attendance even worse, I'd think, as @UKMustangFan stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlDog75 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 OK, twice now I think the Reds catchers aren't paying attention. There now have been two plays at the plate, one just now and one last night where it was questionable that the runner touched home plate. I did not see either home plate ump give a safe sign. We were always taught if the ump did not give a safe sign or yelled safe you tagged the runner again. The Indians runner last night even went back and touched home once he saw Cabrera walk away from the plate. Just now Barnhardt did kind of the same thing. I watched the ump and no safe sign was given on the play at the plate. And just like that, Simon has given up 4 runs and no one warming up in bullpen for Redlegs. Could be another LONG night.

sumoroyal Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 And now it is 10-0 and they just walked in two straight runs. Big Pasta charged with 10 earned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumoroyal Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Correction, three straight runs. Delabar has walked four of the five batters he has faced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
