Shamed them into it?

Good move Roch.

100%. Same thing happened to them last year when they said they were not going to broadcast any games from spring training. MASN is an embarrassment. They should be paying for both Roch and Melewski to be there all spring training. Melewski should be reporting from Twin Lakes and Roch from Orioles camp, but MASN doesn't operate like that.

Has MASN even announced if they are doing spring games? Are they sending their broadcasters on the road this year? Last I heard they were not which again, would be an embarrassment once again. 

It's just such an awfully run sports channel. Orioles fans deserve much more.

MASN is indeed the worst.

Even Nationals fans deserve better.

Best positive spin I can make of this is that well MASN did defraud the Nats out of millions and millions of dollars right?   So they might be extra cheap while they are awaiting a final resolution on that decades long lawsuit...................?

See...now I want there to be a Perry Mason or LA Law style drama where Roch and Mark are teary-eyed witnesses on the stand as the Orioles and Nationals plead their cases.

This feels like an episode Rick was born to write

Just a clownshow operation they run over there. I'm amazed Roch puts up with it enough to be there as long as he has. Honestly, I think when they finally truly lose the lawsuit it will be a blessing. Burn it down and start over.

WBAL/98 Rock hasn't even announced plans to broadcast any spring training games on the radio yet.

Both the Yankees and Red Sox, and probably many other teams as well, will broadcast all their preseason games on the radio.

Yeah, I heard the radio guys are not going on the road either, but that could change. It really is sad that we have both the TV and Radio for the team treated this like a 3rd rate operation instead of 1st class like our fans deserve.
