I have no idea why you are so shocked. This schedule was obvious the moment the Jays eliminated Texas. You may be tired of it, you may want to bitch and moan about it, but "ratings and business" are not excuses. They are a basic reality. The Indians @ Jays are on at 4ET and the Cubs @ Dodgers at 4PT because it gives them maximum exposure in the most populous parts of the US.
Is it ideal for us in the Mountain Time zone, 2500KM away from the nearest team still playing? No. And I am certain that Rogers isn't happy about it either. But if they want something better, they are going to have to pay MLB enough to overcome the preferential treatment TBS and Fox bought.
