Late Monday afternoon, Major League Baseball announced the start times for the first two games of the NLDS between the Atlanta Braves and St. Louis Cardinals.
Of course, game one comes with a caveat depending on what happens in the Wild Card games.
The Atlanta Braves will either play at 5:02 p.m. ET on Thursday or 6:02 p.m. ET. And on Friday it is set in stone that game 2 of the NLDS between the Braves and Cardinals will start at 4:37 p.m. ET.
This is pretty much what we expected all along, although I’m a little confused as to why the time for Thursday changes depending on the Wild Card winner.
