WHY THE HECK AREN'T THERE BASEBALL GAMES ON?!

Postby marsrover21 » Fri Apr 10, 2009 4:15 pm

MLB has what, 15 games going almost every day? ESPN gets games, but Wednesday and Sunday nights only. TBS gets games every day, but only Braves games. WHY THE HECK AREN'T THERE MORE GAMES ON NAT'L TV? I understand MLB wants to continue raping customers with their baseball package, but COME ON! They have their own channel now! We can't figure out a way to get more than two national games (TBS excluded) games on a week? Ridiculous.

mlb.tv or an MLB package from your cable/dish provider will give you your best opportunity to watch games if you have all this time to watch them.

Me, I bought gameday audio and love it.

ESPN has nationally televised games on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday nights. MLB Network has Thursday and Saturday night games. FOX has Saturday afternoon games. TBS has Sunday afternoon games. That's 7 games a week.

MLB has incredibly stupid blackout rules in place especially for the FOX games, but I fail to see an issue with a lack of nationally televised games.
