Philadelphia won the World Series last year, but major league baseball and television companies didn't feel as though the team deserved prime-time billing. "Being the defending world champs, I think it's kind of a little weird that we get both games at 2:30," said pitcher Cole Hamels. "I don't think it's fair. I definitely don't think it's fair for the fans because this is all about home-field advantage or just baseball in general. "I understand TV ratings," Hamels added, "but I think at the end of the day, most players would rather play when they're comfortable and that's what we've trained at, 7 o'clock." |
The Phillies are upset that their first two playoff games were scheduled in the afternoon.
