A few months ago, MLB announced that they were looking into beginning World Series games earlier, which excited Picasner until he read further and discovered that "earlier" meant 8:00
instead of 8:30. Lo & behold, they did even better! The games will start at 7:57. Wow!
That means that kids will now get to watch the 7th inning instead of just the 6th. This is like telling a man dying of thirst, "We won't give you any water, but we're going to raise the humidity a little." What, no thank you? I thought of suggesting an "Encore Game," like YES Network does, to be aired at around 4:00 PM the next day, but then I remembered that Fox usually replays any significant plays during the next game and any really outstanding play, 3 or 4 times during the pre-game show anyway. Have to fill up that hour somehow. You can only give the lineup so many times.
Maybe Fox will make up for it by insisting on an extra minute or 2 between half-innings.
