It would have made more sense to have the east coast guys go first instead of an afternoon game on the west and late night on the east.

Don't overthink it. Yankees. Get. Primetime.

Yup.  Thursday and Friday also have both series going those days, and they're alternating prime time spots

m0nkey and I seem to be the only people who understand how it works. They alternate who gets which spots. Pretty sure it's been like this for years.

The Jeff Mathis walkoff double in the ALCS (I know, a whole 15 years ago) game was a 1pm game as well because the Dodgers/Phillies game took the primetime spot.  

Dodgers. Get. Primetime.

I only remember that because 

A) I remember rushing home from school and just got home in time to see the 9th inning

B) the last postseason series with a win in 15 years

Oh damn, just looked and I totally forgot about the win in game 5. My bad.

B1 Yankees have runners on the corners and 0 outs. Judge hits a popup. 2Bman drops the ball and all three runners advance, giving the yanks a 1-0 lead. Why wasn't the infield fly rule called? Judge was allowed to take first base and no one protested.

This game is gonna be a bloodbath.

What are they thinking purposely loading the bases for Judge with 1 out, regardless if they're pulling Bibee?
