The Red Sox are the only team in Major League Baseball to have their home games start at 7:30 p.m this season.
This has been heavily criticized, especially with some games lasting well over three hours and ending after 11 p.m.
Appearing on The Greg Hill Show, Red Sox president and CEO Sam Kennedy was asked about this, as well as if game times could potentially be shifted if there are conflicts with Bruins and Celtics playoff games. Within his answer, Kennedy acknowledged the 7:30 start times perhaps were not the best decision.
"Yeah, there has been talk of both topics internally," he said. "We talk about scheduling issues each and every day. The 7:30 experiment was designed to try and capture the largest television audience possible and given the way the team has played, given maybe the nature of the pandemic with people being home more, perhaps that wasn't the right decision. We'll see as we go forward here.
"In terms of the scheduling conflicts with the Bruins and/or the Celtics, because we play every day it is really hard for us to adjust on the fly. We have done that in years past. But, sometimes you find yourselves in a situation like the Bruins yesterday when they were set to play late in the day and then they played at 11 o'clock in the morning given the overtime game.
"We're literally in a day-to-day situation over here trying to work our way through what is a highly unusual season. Yes, we do talk about changes to the schedule and being flexible."
