Many Dodgers fans already weren’t thrilled with the team’s start time for Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Saturday.
And now, after Major League Baseball announced the club’s schedule for the rest of the NLDS on Thursday, more complaints are sure to come.
When the team hits the road for Games 3 and 4 of the best-of-five series, Los Angeles fans may have to watch on split-screen at work. Indeed, both contests will begin at 3 p.m. PT on Tuesday and Wednesday, whether they face the Braves or the Phillies as they begin their quest for a World Series three-peat.
The Dodgers’ full NLDS schedule is as follows:
Game 1: Saturday, 1 p.m. at Dodger Stadium on Fox
Game 2: Sunday, 5 p.m. at Dodger Stadium on FS1
Game 3: Tuesday, 3 p.m. in Atlanta or Philadelphia on FS1
Game 4 (if necessary): Wednesday, 3 p.m. in Atlanta or Philadelphia on FS1
Game 5 (if necessary): Friday, October 9, 5 p.m. at Dodger Stadium on Fox
Saturday’s opener had already angered fans after being moved to the previous 1 p.m. time slot — right in the heart of what will be a near-100-degree afternoon at Chavez Ravine.
Now, Games 3 and 4 will also take place in the middle of a West Coast workday, with the Dodgers getting earlier start times on the East Coast thanks, in part, to the Padres hosting Games 3 and 4 of their own NLDS in San Diego later each evening.
