Every Saturday, there are afternoon baseball games. Three have a 1:05 Eastern start today, four more begin between 4:05 and 4:15, and eight are slated for the evening. If you join leagues that close at 7:10, you’re missing out on some excellent players. The split starts mean twice as many chances to win in daily leagues; I enter multiple teams in both early and late events.

As a hitter, I learned to hate pitchers. They were always trying to get me out. As a coach, pitchers gave me more grey hair than the other positions combined. At DraftStreet last night, two of them let me down again.

For a change, there were no postponed MLB games on Wednesday, and it looks good to complete all twelve on the Thursday schedule, even if there is a delay in Detroit.

There were two more weather-related cancellations on Tuesday as this cold, wet April has affected almost every MLB team. The Royals were supposed to play in Boston last Friday — that one was called off because of a manhunt for a terror suspect — then had a scheduled day off on Monday before getting rained out in Detroit. They are almost too well-rested. Miserable weather in Chicago forced the White Sox to postpone their meeting with Cleveland; the Pale Hose and Cubs now have two games each to make up later in the season.

With two day-night doubleheaders and one 6:35 Eastern start, “only” 13 of the 17 MLB games are included in today’s DraftStreet leagues, which close at 7:05. The Red Sox tilt against Oakland is off the board. Fortunately, they will be back to a normal evening start time in Boston by Friday. It will be ridiculously cold (again) in Denver, with rain and snow possible during the matinee. The nightcap offers Rockies’ LH batters a chance to tee off on Julio Teheran — if it’s played.
