maybe it's just me, but i absolutely hate it how some teams play their game 3's before other series play game 2 etc.
this applies to nba and nhl too |

Seriously burn in hell MLB with having start times at 3 PM for every other Blue Jays playoff game just because we're Canadian.

Canadians do 9 to 5 jobs too so it basically shafts them and also the Blue Jays are the country's most popular baseball team and Canada has 6 time zones so some may have it as early as noon if a 3 PM EDT start time happens and some as late as 4:30 PM.

@han They do it because they only care about american TV ratings.

I won't deny NYC is bigger than Toronto but Toronto and Chicago are pretty much the exact same size in population.

Also the Blue Jays market covers all of Canada so the Jays market is the biggest by far.

Except it's not a dumb statement.
The Blue Jays market does in fact cover the entirety of Canada (although a large portion of the area is shared with other teams, like the Red Sox have the Maritimes shared with the Jays and the West has the Mariners and Jays sharing).
Canada's a country of 36 million people and no market even has anything nearly that close.

"market size"
Toronto and Arlington have a larger market than Kansas City and Houston. Guess who got the better start times nearly every time in the ALDS? Houston and KC.

@Zammy More realistically, the Jays market is Southern Ontario, Eastern Ontario, and in Quebec to Quebec City.

That's still 18 million people which would likely be the biggest in the MLB. Only NYC and maybe LA would have a chance at being bigger than that.
