The Cubs should move up the starting time of all night games

Twice already this year (April 11 vs. the Pirates and May 8 vs. the Marlins), the Cubs moved the starting time of the up by 30 minutes from 7:05 p.m. to 6:35 p.m. CT. The reason in both cases was to avoid bad weather forecast to come in later in the evening. In the first instance, rain hit late in the game and produced a delay; the second time, the game was completed a couple of hours before heavy rain hit the north side of Chicago. Moving the game time up was an excellent choice and very proactive on the Cubs’ part.
