I like how you posted twice in the spirit of a Split Squad game!

Both games at 1 PM EDT, god knows when in Europe. (I'm still waiting for the Brits to switch to "Summer Time" and I have no idea when that's on the menu in Germany.)

Summer time is harmonized across Europe and starts on the last Sunday in March. It ends on the last Sunday in October, so our summer time is about 3-4 weeks shorter overall. For EU countries, summer time is mandatory and starts and ends at 01:00 UTC (so actual local time varies, but in general is in the dead of night).
It's however great for me, because when the US is on summer time but Europe goes nah, then everything I'm watching is on an hour earlier. This is especially great during the World Series, most or all of which usually falls into that fall sweet spot.
In Germany, today's game is on at 6pm. During the regular season, 1pm ET games are on at 7pm German time.
The EU bobbleheads actually once resolved to stop switching to summer time and back twice a year, but then could not agree on whether to remain on winter time or summer time and nothing happened for the last five years in that regard.
Regardless, I'll watch the Rays game, because that's the Mets broadcast.
