Friday game vs. Cubs was on MLB Network.

Saturday day game vs. Cubs was on FOX.

Sunday night game vs. Cubs was on ESPN.

Monday night game vs. Reds is on ESPN.

Tuesday night game vs. Reds on MLB Network.

This is followed by 2 out of 3 games vs. the Rockies on National Television. Next, 2 out of 3 games vs. Brewers on National TV. Last but not least, all 3 games of the Subway Series being broadcasted to a National Audience.

That’s 5 straight games on big time networks; a stretch of 12 of 15 games available to all.

I know how things work, Yankees bring in the most money, are the most recognizable brand worldwide as far as baseball is concerned, and thus will have the most games on National TV.

Whether it’s ESPN, MLB Network, TBS, or FOX, networks are going to make money off the Yankees.

I just wish everything didn’t always come down to money and they could show somebody else for once; especially during interleague play.

I don't get this. The two most popular teams in Baseball (top five in sports in general)...why wouldn't the network want to play those games? Yeah it would be nice if they just took made a whole let less and got a fraction of the viewers and put teams on for the love of the game, but it doesn't work that way. I mean its like a movie, theaters are going to hope to get and/or request the big ticket movies. Often times these movies aren't the best put together, or overall aren't that good, but regular movie-goers will flock to them. If you want to see a "good" movie you might have to drive to a theater farther away, or find an independent showing. It would be nice if large theaters showed better films, but that's not what sells, and I can't really complain.

Also there's a nice stretch of Cubs games on that list, why aren't we complaining about them? :)

      Jorge Mateo 2024

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Great sequence in the 10th where Mateo singled, driving in Westburg, stole 2nd and went to 3rd on the overthrow.  Then Mateo scored on a wild pitch.  I've joined the Mateo fan club, at least as a utility player.  Having Mateo on base has to drive pitchers crazy.

      McKenna

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      As someone that was all for DFA’ing McKenna for Hicks last week, I really can’t fault him for tonight.   I’m impressed he stole the base. He sort of had to run there with two outs. He stole it. He just came off the bag. That happens.  The route may have not been the best because he was going to his left and as a RH thrower he was just trying to position himself to throw home. He doesn’t have Vlad Sr’s arm out there. That’s a .01% chance play there.  Our CF depth is pretty thin. I think the only way we DFA McKenna is if Hicks comes here. Kjerstad will be the one to go for Hays. Remember last August when at full strength/healthy Mullins, and only a 26 man roster, we rolled with a 4 man bench of McCann, Hicks, Mateo, Urias/Frazier/Westburg.  Oddly, we’re deep enough into the season, and CF depth is thin, that I’d say there’s a 50/50 shot McKenna doesn’t clear waivers. I don’t know we have the luxury of CF depth to DFA him w/o Hicks in the mix.

      I think they will DFA him. They already did it once. And the fact nobody claimed him means you’re probably right about not starting for other teams.

      I had fun watching the extra innings of this game. That was good TV. Thanks Craig for serving up the evening’s entertainment!

      Yennier Cano 2024

      By Spy Fox · Posted

      We have threads asking for Kremer, Grayson, and Povich in the closer role. Can we acknowledge that Cano is the pretty obvious next man up if Kimbrel is removed at some point? I don’t really care about his 9th inning splits. He’s our best reliever and until he gets a chance and fails I’m going to assume that’s just noise and he’ll do the best job. Tonight makes nine straight appearances with either a Save or Hold. Overall he has held a lead 10 times in 11 chances, and the one miss was a bad outing but still nearly a SV if not for Gunnar’s walk-off throwing error.

      McKenna

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      McKenna was finally beginning to grow on me after years of my derision. He's done a few good things offensively. But I think he wouldn't  start for another team in the American League. I would DFA him(they won't) and bring up Hays in LF, Cowser in CF for a while, and Santander in RF. I still think if they give Kjerstad enough at bats, and not just coming off the bench as a PH, he will hit and hit for power....I dont like him getting 4 at bats a week... I think he needs to play. Mullins needs to sit for a few games.He simply cant track the ball all of a sudden.Its almost hard to watch. Maybe he's hurting.
