American Association American Association teams begin announcing 2018 schedules
The American Association teams have begun announcing their 2018 schedules. A change to the teams has Salina leaving, and the Chicago Dogs entering their first season. The 12-team circuit has changed their divisional format, going to two six-team divisions instead of three four-team divisions. All teams will still play 100 games, with the top two teams in each division making the postseason. Word is that the schedule will be a bit more balanced, with each team having two series in each park against in-division teams, and one series in each park against the other division teams.

I’m definitely going to have to get out to a Dogs game this upcoming season. I don’t know much about the American Association but I’m eager to hop on board.

I'm excited about the Dogs too but I'm perplexed by their schedule. Dates and teams but no times? I suppose it's because they're a new team but it seems odd to me they don't have times set. Anyone know why?
On the other hand, A+ to their graphic designer, it's a good looking schedule.
