​This is something you’ll want to note if you’re planning to follow along with the series finale Thursday between the Cubs and Orioles: there’s a major change in the schedule, moving the start time up by five hours. The weather forecast around Camden Yards shows storm chances rising from about 20 percent in the morning to roughly 80 percent later in the day, so it appears the decision to push the start time was the prudent move.
The game will now begin at 12:35 p.m. Central Time on Thursday. In light of that shift, here’s how the Cubs Blogger Connection (BCB) has organized its posting schedule for Thursday to align with the new timing and to keep fans up to date throughout the day:

The five-hour shift in kickoff time is a notable change that could affect viewing plans, so it’s helpful to align your day with the updated schedule.
