The Indians tweeted this morning the schedule comes out at 1pm (Noon for us). I don't see MLB or any other team making that claim, but we'll see.

 

Here's a link that you can check later...

Please for the love of God don't play the Royals in April and keep the division games toward summer.

What I've read about it, the schedule won't be like this year where it's 8 of 10 series in the division to start and finish the season.

 

The A's have already complained about nonsensical road trips that don't have them going to Houston and Arlington in order.

I seem to remember last year they didn't publicize it either. They just did it at noon, so we'll see in ten minutes.

Schedule looks to be coming. Sox open in Oakland at 9:05...that sucks

Probably watching something else that starts about an hour before that.

Of f***ing course we open with a 4 game set at Oakland.

Feel like there's more 4 game sets then usual.

 

And the split 4 game midweek series vs the Cubs is back! Rejoice! Who didn't love that?

Can't wait for Beane to acquire Raburn for the opening series next year.

But only two weekend series that month. August has three weekend series.

I did some quick research earlier this year and found that playing in Oakland isn't really the problem it used to be for the Sox. Throw in this year's sweep and I think my point is only enhanced.

 

We're 6-12 there in the last five years but it feels like the luck has turned around and it's now just based on team quality since about 2011. I mean, that 2013 Sox teamshould have been swept. The one time the A's had a bad team - which they do so far in 2015 - the Sox won the series. I feel like they can do it this weekend too; the hex lives in KC or Baltimore now.

 

YEAR W-L OAK Final Wins

2014 1-2 88

2013 0-3 96

2012 1-2 94

2011 2-1 74

2010 2-4 81

We absolutely seemed to have a hex against them in the mid-00's even when we had good teams and favorable matchups, but I buy this now.

 

The bright side of opening with 4 in Oakland? The first week of baseball there are 0 snowouts. This is positive.

Breakdown (Home-Away-Total):

 

Cle 10-9-19

Det 10-9-19

KC 9-10-19

Min 9-10-19

 

Bal 3-4-7

Bos 3-4-7

NY 3-3-6

TB 4-3-7

Tor 3-3-6

 

Hou 3-3-6

LAA 4-3-7

Oak 3-4-7

Cubs 2-2-4

Phi 2-2-4

Atl 3-0-3

Weekend road series outside the division:

 

4-15 Rays

4-28 Orioles (hopefully with fans)

5-13 Yankees

7-1 Astros

7-15 Angels

8-12 Marlins

Glad we start on road where games unlikely to be cancelled. Few off days early so will need 5 starters from the beginning.

Well in 2010, 2011, and 2015, 3 out of the 5 years, the Sox had a better record than Oakland so yeah I'd still say going 6-12 is pretty terrible.

odd that they don't play Detroit until June.

Read it again. I made that post before 2015's sweep by the Sox, so it's now 9-12, and I said that since 2011 the records have basically mirrored the teams' overall quality in a given year.

What's with the 1 game @Tigers 6/4? Every team doing a one game bonanzee like that?

That's a mistake.
