The Mets MLB schedule page lets you now choose 2017 in the calendar...but I'm not buying it. Right now it shows them playing the whole month of April at home, all against division foes!

Yeah - there's a whole lot of refining needed there....

West coast (sleepy us) (I'm including COL and AZ as the "west coast" for late night TV purposes, don't bust my chops): May 15 to 17 June 19 to 25 July 24 to August 3 (wow!).

They'll be playing in Seattle again, huh? They were just there in 2014.

That first Sunday, April 2nd, will have three games played with the remainder of the league getting going on Monday. The two afternoon games are already set but the ESPN Sunday Night national telecast is 'TBA' for now and that's traditionally been where the reigning WS champ kicks off their defense of their title meaning that I'm figuring there's about a 74% chance our Monday opener is getting moved up. OK maybe not that high, but don't make any unbreakable plans for that Sunday night quite yet.

Do they have enough beer in Chicago for that kind of tailgate?

I've been tinkering with a little Pittsburgh road trip with little Solo for a few years now, but the Mets visit to the Steel city has never worked with our schedule. Next year maybe we can swing something for that Memorial Day weekend visit.

Next year maybe we can swing something for that Memorial Day weekend visit. I have dreams of taking a road trip to Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and then Detroit. Would probably have to rent a car and fly back from Detroit. I'll be checking the schedule to see if there is any window where all three are home consecutively.

Here's your Sunday night schedule: Official release from ESPN.. http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-relea ... pearances/ Opening Night & Sunday Night Baseball early-season schedule: Date Time(ET) Telecast Apr. 2 8:30 p.m. MLB Opening Night: Chicago Cubs at St. Louis Cardinals Apr. 9 8 p.m. Miami Marlins at New York Mets telecast presented by Taco Bell Apr. 16 8 p.m. St. Louis Cardinals at New York Yankees presented by Taco Bell Apr. 23 8 p.m. Washington Nationals at New York Mets telecast presented by Taco Bell Apr. 30 8 p.m. Chicago Cubs at Boston Red Sox telecast presented by Taco Bell May 7 8 p.m. New York Yankees at Chicago Cubs telecast presented by Taco Bell May 14 7:30 p.m. Houston Astros at New York Yankees telecast presented by Taco Bell May 21 8 p.m. TBD May 28 8 p.m. New York Mets at Pittsburgh Pirates telecast presented by Taco Bell June 4 7:30 p.m. St. Louis Cardinals at Chicago Cubs telecast presented by Taco Bell June 11 8 p.m. TBD June 18 8 p.m. TBD June 25 8 p.m. TBD July 2 8 p.m. TBD July 9 8 p.m. Detroit Tigers at Cleveland Indians telecast presented by Taco Bell July 16 8 p.m. New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox telecast presented by Taco Bell July 23 8 p.m. St. Louis Cardinals at Chicago Cubs telecast presented by Taco Bell So Mets fans lose 2 home Sunday afternoons. Also, the Mets play on Sunday night in Pittsburgh and have a 1 PM game the next day in Queens.

Frayed Knot Dec 21 2016 05:45 PM Re: The 2017 MLB Schedule Thread

Yeah, let's shift a couple more games in the northeast into the night [u:1f4e31gk]IN APRIL[/u:1f4e31gk] 3 of the 15 home games in April will be day games: Opening Day, a Saturday (4:05), and a get-away day Wednesday on April 27th

Mets Willets Point Dec 21 2016 06:09 PM Re: The 2017 MLB Schedule Thread

I bought a Red Sox ticket package that had the dates and opponents listed but not the game times, so it wasn't until I got the tickets that I found out that the Sunday April 30th game was at 8 fucking PM. Not only liable to be cold and wet, but also a school night.

HahnSolo Dec 21 2016 06:11 PM Re: The 2017 MLB Schedule Thread

within the first five weeks of the season, the Mets host the Braves 2x and the Marlins 2x. Seems like an odd quirk of the schedule. The Braves leave Citi Field on April 27, then don't come back again until Sep. 25.

Ceetar Dec 21 2016 07:01 PM Re: The 2017 MLB Schedule Thread

I kinda like Sunday night games from a watching at home perspective. though, 7:30 would be a better start time. We'll see how much my sleep deprived self can manage this year though.

Frayed Knot Dec 21 2016 07:14 PM Re: The 2017 MLB Schedule Thread

The problem isn't the existence of Sunday night games, it's that the first seven seeks of the season put each one of them in the northeast or upper midwest* at a time of year when daytime weather is iffy and nighttime weather almost sure to be lousy. And as much as I'd like to blame ESPN, the fault really lies with MLB for not putting any restraints on what the four-letter network can do with their schedule. * NYC x 4, plus one each in Boston, Chicago, StL

bmfc1 Dec 21 2016 10:26 PM Re: The 2017 MLB Schedule Thread

The home game on 5/29 was moved to 4 PM because of the Sunday Night game. Better but still not great.

G-Fafif Dec 22 2016 04:00 PM Re: The 2017 MLB Schedule Thread

Here in December, just the fact the Mets announced the shift of start times, however undesirable or inconvenient they will prove themselves in practicality, was such a boost to morale. Major League Baseball games...Mets games will someday be played again. Hallebleepinglujah.
