Why hardly any day games on Saturdays?

I don't get it. Best time for families to take the kids out for a game and then enjoy the evening. Why all night games? Heat?

There always are...just this week there aren't because of the Open Championship

Heat Doesn't stop them from playing Day games almost every other day of the week

Post All Star break...lame...First half there were always at least 2 1:05pm EST games

Good find Laker

Maybe MLB knows there is a degenerate gambling problem so they don't schedule early games so we spend time with our families?

This has been a trend for a few years. I'm just wondering why.

Mostly on getaway days only

I found it Laker...

It is due to the tremendous amount of travel post all star break...so they play late afternoon/night games for the first month+ on Saturdays

Check in middle/late august...the Saturday DAY games are back...

Has nothing to do with that it's too hot in July and August so you do not see many weekend day games on Saturday

More of a trend 4 o'clock and on mainly because of TV

Golf is not even on the radar with TV ratings

whats new

funny looks like a rookie again

jjgold · 07-22-17, 02:06 PM

Use to be lots of games at one but as the years going on 4 o'clock and later games because the fox

Also the day of the doubleheader is long gone so they used to be on Saturdays also

daneblazer · 07-22-17, 02:09 PM

They start at noon or 1 every other day but Friday & Tuesday. Maybe these guys need recovery time from Friday night

Sataurday nights must be more popular.

ManOfValue · 07-23-17, 01:31 PM

Cause the sabbath ends Saturday and sundown...

I think it has something to do with Fox owning the rights to time slots on Saturdays.
