Something relatively new to many MLB teams was done twice in as many days last week.
What am I talking about? Two different teams moved starting times from night to afternoon because bad weather was expected and they wanted to get the games in.
First, the Mets last Wednesday at Citi Field:
Tomorrow's game against Chicago (AL) has been moved to 1:10 p.m. due to weather. Gates will open at 12:10 p.m. and parking lots will open at 11:40 a.m.https://t.co/UUPUroXFJr

Note the timestamp on that social media post — that’s 5:15 p.
