MLB: ESPN MLB Coverage

[bostrem00]

Is anyone else annoyed seeing the Phillies play on ESPN seemingly all the time? I swear it seems they have at least 2 games/week on the 4 letter network....

Nope. I get sick of watching all of the Yankees and Red Sox games that they put on.

You can almost guarantee that the Phillies, Mets, Red Sox, and/or Yankees will be on ESPN every week...

They had the Cardinals on twice last week. :smile:

The Cubs would be on there if this year's team wasn't experiencing technical difficulties.

And thats why the world created MLB Network. I've been watching the draft all night long.

Why do the display a box around the strike zone? Very annoying.

Best league channel on TV.

Best league channel on TV.

But they're showing Red Sox/Yankees on Tuesday AND Thursday! OMG! They're so biased!

How dare they show the most popular/best teams! They need to show more Royals/Twins games! That'll bring in the viewers!

Someone's a little touchy. I guess if my team spent truckloads of money to finish 2nd in the division year in and year out, I would be a little crabby too.

I'm not the one that is ******** about my team not being popular enough to get on TV. Also, it's not my money so why would I care how much they spend?

Where at in my first post did I say I was mad? I was just stating a fact...

 

[GMackey32]

No response HiltonMagic? Lulz.

I'm sorry, I thought the MLB had more than 5-6 teams, I guess I should pass this info along to ESPN......So you also had to bring Twins and Royals into the discussion because that's where you're internet tough-guy persona could probably draw the most reaction? pitiful.....:no:

ESPN = Business
Businesses want to make money.
Yankees/BoSox/Phillies = popular teams
Popular teams = big audience
Big audience = big advertising $$$

I'm ****** ABC only shows Iowa State on a national broadcast every couple years! Those bastards!

 

[ItsCyence]

And people wonder why the majority don't like Yankees and Red Sox fans....

It makes sense because Boston, NY and Philly are 3 of the biggest markets (and with 3 of the biggest fan bases) so putting them on tv means $$$. An argument could be made for the Dodgers/Angels, but being in the Pacific Time Zone, not many people in the rest of the U.S. are willing to stay up til midnight or 1 a.m. to watch the rest of the game.
