Now that weeknight games begin at 6:45pm, does that make it more likely this older team will be slightly better because they’ll simply have more energy? I didn’t start feeling “old” or “my age” until I hit 33. The day after my 33rd birthday, I remember waking up feeling tired in a weird way and sort of like a phone that even at maximum charge was still only at about 92% of its original capacity.
Buster Posey is an old and broken catcher coming off of hip surgery. An earlier start time might not be the difference between 4 home runs and 14, but I have to imagine it couldn’t hurt.
