For years, baseball’s scheduling tradition created a summer rhythm fans could depend on. When there was a rare break in the action for a day off or travel day, it was reserved for Mondays or the occasional Thursday.
Somewhat surprisingly, MLB has added Fridays to the day-off mix.
The A’s are one of five teams who agreed to sacrifice a Friday home game this season. The A’s are the only team to do it twice.
