I've gotten one night game, Saturday night at the Jake. It wasn't a night game until the 5th. It was a 7:05pm game which is central time (in game). Now Eastern that's 8:05pm and coming from Ohio the Indians NEVER play that late at home, all NIGHT home games are 7:05pm anyways the Stadium was beautiful, made me want to be there. (If you've been to the Jake at night Downtown Cleveland is an awesome sight under the lights). Point is, night game at game 4. Who are you playing with? That might have a factor.

almost all April games are played in the day because of weather issues (for teams up north).

This is 100% not true. Like the weather stops happening when the sun comes up..

wait what? It's warmer during the day than at night. It's like 40 degrees out at night sometimes in some northern cities during April, so they schedule them to play day games instead

I just played a couple games and I found out that the 7:00 games go to the nighttime in the like 9th inning, now I am just wondering if there are games scheduled at like 10-12 pm (games that START in the nighttime.) I came across 1 out of all the games on my schedule when I looked through the months.

True, but you said "almost All April games", and thats definitely not the case (maybe with the Cubs, they love their day games). The Red Sox and Yankees still play mostly night games.

Have you noticed the "breath" of the players during the evening games or during days where it's supposed to be cold out? Very cool.

I dont mind games starting at 7 anyways and i like day games too, maybe in the playoffs itll be different Id assume so considering the attention to detail ive seen so far so it would make sense if games started at 8 05

The games starting at 7.05 don't get dark quick enough. It should start in the daylight but by the 5th inning it should be night time and only the stadium lights illuminating the field.
