For some reason, Major League Baseball thinks it’s a good idea to start World Series games that feature teams in the Eastern Standard Time and Central Standard Time zones after 8:00 p.m. — including home games for the East Coast team.

With the brutal pace of play that playoff baseball faces, it’s a bad idea. While it’s great that the World Series was competitive this year (and the Houston Astros lost), the league needs to rethink its start times. The games went on too late this year, regardless of what anyone on the West Coast thinks.
