The April Fools of MLB Scheduling

[Sunbiz1]

Why do we open at home against Pittsburgh, then the Diamondbacks before going to Milwaukee only to visit AZ at the end of month?. That's entirely backwards. They should be opening either in Milwaukee or AZ. The schedulers must have short memories, coincidentally the WS open in Cleveland where a bunch of home openers were snowed out several years ago.

Yeah most to all games in April should indoors/in the south.

No kidding there is a handful of teams who need to open on the road south somewhere. Cubs, sox, twins, Indians, tigers to name a few its stupid but hopefully it doesn't get snowed out. Nothing worse then being all pumped up for baseball to start and then having the game canceled.

Except the Cubs and Sox never play in the same city at the same time except during the Crosstown Cup...
