Games usually start at ~7:00pm EST, 4:00pm PST. Some teams have day games scheduled if its before a travel day or a weekend.
IE:
If a team has to travel to a nearby city then they would play at 1:00pm EST (10:00am PST) on the last day of their series and then play their first game of the next series at night the next day.
Then again, a lot of teams have random day games. Day games usually occur on the weekends whether its 1pm or 4pm EST but during the week there are some day games on a Thursday or something similar. Also, some TV channels have designated games at night. ESPN has 'Sunday Night Baseball' that occurs around 7-10 at night. There are also games on TBS on Saturdays (usually the Braves) and random "Wed/Thurs night baseball" on MLB Network or ESPN.

etc..etc..etc...there are a shit ton of ways.
Yeah games are pretty much everyday. Series are usually 3 games a piece. That means you can count on games on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Mondays and Thursdays are usually the "travel/off" days. But teams can play about 9+ games in a given span. The Nationals had their longest span which ended last week where they played 16 games in a row.
Yea man no problem. Always happy to help people that are welcoming the MLB. And yeah, 16 games is a lot but at least its out of the way so they won't have it near the end of the season. They managed to go 8-8 during it! The amazing thing is that this team is currently missing 3 of their great hitters (Michael Morse, Jayson Werth (the guy in my avatar), and Wilson Ramos) as well as their stud closer (Drew Storen) yet they are somehow performing the way they are. A big thanks is to their pitching rotation.
Randomly: If anyone in MLB GAF has Diablo III and wants to play sometime, add me...

Sounds like the Nationals got their stuff together. My Diablo III thing is KOG#1906 or something like that.
Baseball is a great sport, I love it. It captures my interest once i know what's going on, even though it's silly how I fell into it, none the less I love it.

Matt Kemp back to the DL. Says his hamstring is worse than before. Could be out a while.
Always good to have another in the crew.
Just to get the basics down:
- Every call ever is Year of the Umps
- Ryan Braun is clearly innocent
- Barves
- Post arodfallingthroughfloor.gif a minimum of twenty (20) times when yankees lose
- Any one of us could probably pitch in the Red Sox bullpen and be just as effective
- Ryan Braun is clearly guilty
- The Marlins home run feature is the greatest thing to happen to the sport of baseball
I think that's about it
Sounds good, always good to learn a extra few things.
Ahh yes, the arodfallingthroughthefloor.gif.
Probably another reason for me to stick with my 8-bit baseball games. Unless Genesis has some good ones.

so my Mets blew another lead last night?
can we just please dump this current team and bring up all our prospects?
Please trade for Boobby V and bring back Ollie. This team needs a spark.

Read this without initially reading the actual content of the article and immediately guessed Laz Diaz. :lol
I'll add you tonight. Anyone in Braves-GAF got DIII?
I should also mention that my character's name is Strasburg :lol
In other news, Michael 'Beast Mode' Morse could potentially be in the lineup tomorrow. Finally!

I do but I'll have to post my battletag later since I can't remember the 4 digit number I got stuck with.
I'll do the same.

Fuck.
nicely done.
I'm also a Witch Doctor. I named him Strasburg because I throw nasty stuff.
Yikes. They should always add a week with those hamstring injuries. So easy to re-injure and just make worse.

Nah, you get Wolf in one of those games so you won't get swept. You will, however, but BURNED!

Hey KOG, two more things that really keep me up to speed on teams other than my home team:
1. The ESPN Baseball Today podcast. It's half an hour daily, and they're pretty charismatic and cover a pretty wide variety: the big stories of the day, but then talk about amusing or obscure stuff later in the show.
2. MLB AtBat for iOs or Android. It's SO good and worth the $15. And there's a daily digest that's two minutes long or so and just knocks out all the previous day's results, rapid fire. OR you can read every single beat writer article from each team's home paper (it's always interesting to read both stories for the same game). And you can listen to the radio broadcast of every game, and choose which team's broadcast crew you want to hear. And see every game summarized in a handful of ways. And a bunch of other features.
Oh and in my totally biased opinion, you should be a fan of the Royals! They've sucked for thirty years, but are just on the cusp of getting good again within the next season or two!

Yeah, I listen to Baseball Today while going for a jog or playing Diablo, depending on how energetic I'm feeling that day, haha.
I stopped listening after they spent a week saying Casey McGehee is better than Aramis Ramirez.

Where is this digest feature on the app? That would be really handy but I've never noticed it.
And KOG, while you might want to favor picking a West Coast team so that you're not watching games at weird times, you should probably just follow the season neutrally for a while until a team naturally appeals to you.
Or just pick the Mets.

Elvin Ramirez is a surprise, but he's been lights-out this year.
If he wants to be a bigger joke character than trollisaynon for picking a team not in his living area/market, sure.
have you figured out why other MLB-GAFfers want you to be a Mets fan, korg?
They don't want you to pick the team they root for.
Shame on you, MLB-GAF.
So petty.
So insular.

It's in the video highlights, and it's called MLB FastCast. Right now it's sponsored by ACE so that's in the title, too. It goes up mid morning, usually. If it's buried in the videos (you can only see the top 10 or something), you can always just search for FastCast. I think it's viewable on mlb.com, too, but hey screw that when you can watch it on the crapper instead.
Another reason I like said video is that the guy narrating it talks like some old-school sportscaster from the 40's.

I don't think their other stuff is available on iTunes, but MLB Network's Intentional Talk is a pretty amusing video podcast that's pretty accessible to newer fans. Might not be serious enough for some folks, but it helps brighten up about 45 minutes of my work days.
If you ever want to hear a podcast that puts more focus on each team's prospects, Baseball Prospectus's Up and In podcast is great. Heck, even if you don't like baseball it's fun listening to those guys shoot the shit.
Does KOG have want?

Only baseball podcast worth listening to.
Worst parts of the show are when they talk about baseball.

Perhaps, only time will tell if he has enough to become a .9er.
To be fair, they'd say everything about the show is the worst part of the show
.It's really something, I'm feeling just a touch of optimism for really the first time on this road trip.
How many players are going to get re-injured trying to rush back from injuries this year?..
Goes to show another way in which Braun > Kemp.
