Boston and Oakland travel to Japan for opening day which was actually in the morning in the US. Washington and Atlanta play Sunday night which is called opening night. Then on Monday we have the traditional opening day.
This doesn't do it for me. There are too many problems. First, Boston comes back to Los Angeles after playing regular season games in Japan and is then expected to play the Dodgers in a meaningless exhibition game. The Boston travels to Oakland to resume their regular season series with the A's. Hmm.
Another problem I see is with opening day being a one-game series. Wouldn't you think Washington, after opening their new stadium Sunday night against Atlanta, would play on Monday against Atlanta? Nope, Washington traveled to Philadelphia on Monday while Atlanta traveled home to play Pittsburgh.
Then it gets stranger. On Tuesday, Washington and Philadelphia both get the day off and then resume their series on Wednesday.
Can we just start everybody off on Monday and call it a national holiday and stay home and watch all the team play at the same time? Just like we do at the start of March Madness. Strange things are afoot in the MLB offices.
