chasfh Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 The game is at 6:40pm which is when the Tigers start their night games this season, but they’re playing in San Diego, so it’s a 3:40pm start time out there, which is a rather strange local time to start a game. Turns out the Padres have several holiday and getaway games, maybe half a dozen or so, starting at 3:40pm local time. Most of them are against Eastern and Central teams, which made me wonder whether they did this for TV exposure in the opponents’ market for some reason, but they did schedule a 3:40pm against Seattle one game as well. This must be something that makes sense locally, maybe a weather thing or a civic thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the weather angle - the game would be over and you are moving inside for dinner somewhere before the temp starts falling. If it's a weekday it also means you are off the road before the worst of rush hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 3:40 start would realistically have the game end shortly after 6, giving you a chance to grab a decent dinner at one of the restaurants near the park. Possibly an adult beverage or two and still get home at a decent hour. Im not sure how it is now but San Diego was once considered a prime spot for retired navy folks.

Would be nice to get contributions from him, too. The MLB innings and coaching that he and Hurter are getting this season should hopefully expedite their ability to contribute next season. I’ve been particularly impressed with Hurter—throws strikes and seems to be confident out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoBert Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I’m getting used to this winning thing. There’s an almost perverse reliance upon it being there with predictable assurance. I haven’t felt authorized to experience this for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsb623 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Since we just celebrated the 1984 Tigers this weekend, what a perfect time to get a series win from the Padres, just like in 1984!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Holton is our best BP arm. To burn him early in the game could come back and bite us on the backside. But, OTOH, Hinch and Fetter do have our entire staff pitching so very well, so what do I know....😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoBert Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I’ve always thought this brown Padres color pallet was about as unattractive as you can get. Yeah, I know it’s a “Padre“ but still blah. Brown conflicts with my season. I don’t know what my season is, but it doesn’t include brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 maybe give him a pass on taking the very first pitch of the day, but he better not take any more middle-middle at 94. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZTigersfan Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Tork back to taking first pitches right down the middle again. Then missed another to strike out. SMH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
