You know, I’m not a fan of the Orioles’ 7:35 start times for home games this season. A sport that desperately needs to reach out to younger fans shouldn’t be pushing its start times even later than in the pre-pandemic days. Kids might not have to get up early in the morning to catch a bus, but they’ve still got school in some form. They’ve still got bedtimes. There’s no reason to be dragging out baseball games late into the night.
But tonight, the O’s did us a solid. They zipped through a quick, well-paced barnburner of a game that was over by 10:15.
