To me, the off days are way too much as it pushes baseball into November. As well as they had a getaway game against the Rangers and they had an off day the next day.
I guess I miss what the older generation talk about is the only reason there was an off day was taking a day off because the team had a double header on Saturday or Sunday.
Working during the latter part of the day when the games usually happen helps distract me from off days, but if we're competitive this year, it's gonna be even harder to not think about what's going on while I'm busy trying to pay bills.
