IMO Fox needs to change the whole Saturday baseball thing..
I think that the only way to make it fair would be to do like they do with NFL broadcasts and just broadcast all of the games to the local markets, they wouldnt have to hire new people for the lesser games they could judt use the regular TV broadcast team. It just doesnt seem to make sense to me to show the Houston Astros V Washington Nationals on a Saturday afternoon in Oakland, Ca. They could still have there “game of the week” and just broadcast that game to the national market that has no local team and the two markets that have teams that are effected.
I really do not think that baseball has followers like football has, where some people will watch a game no matter what, I just do not see that dynamic in baseball. People root for specific teams and most likely are not going to commit 3 hours to watch two teams that they do not care about.

Yeah I mean seriously...
Its Saturday and I wanna relax and watch baseball damnit! But noooo, I cant cause Fox says so. I also sort blame MLB for even selling them the rights.

Baseball is a much more regional sport.
You would think FOX would figure this out. But then again, they’ve stuck with the same formula for a while now, so it must work for them. But I don’t like it either.
Effing MLB needs to figure out that they have the upper hand and re-write the broadcast rules altogether.
"You may glory in a team triumphant, but you fall in love with a team in defeat."--The Boys of Summer
Yeah for sure..the other solution os to just keep it the way it currentyl is and just let the local team still boradcast there games as normal if they are not on Fox..
I cant believe that they are getting any kind of ratings for the out of market games…

I can't believe that Selig hasn't implemented broadcast rules
that benefit baseball. He could do away with a lot of useless crap and make MLB some big bucks by taking a league approach to broadcasting. It would also help a majority of the teams.

So sorry. I found out today that the vet clinic down the street (whose vet raises pigeons and gave me one when my crippled bird
died) had someone torture and kill some of the pigeons during the night. Also stole 2 pygmy goats that were his little girls’ pets and may have injured a crow he was rehabbing. And then your loss on top of that- sad day.

Grieve would about 34

Honestly, I'd rather put that money towards a hitter.
Anderson/Cahill/Gio/Mazzaro/Braden is pretty fantastic, and we’ve got enough sixth men floating around in case of injury.
You can never have enough pitching, as evidenced by this season.
If Sheets wanted to come back for a team friendly deal I’d consider it.
We still have money for a hitter or two.

It's a murder mystery show.
Pretty clever.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
We had it on one of the public TV stations a few seasons ago
I liked the guy who played Jonathan but I thought it wasn’t as good when they replaced his slightly frumpy middle-aged sidekick with a young babe. Granted, the role is basically the same as the companions in Doctor Who — to stand around asking obvious questions so there’s a reason for the lead to explain things, and to get in trouble — but I thought it was more interesting casting the first time round.

I'm still on the fence about that personally
I agree with CT: Demel would be awesome right now. But Jackson is a better outfielder than anyone else we got. So, I don’t know.

A healthy Jackson is the best outfielder we've got. He's not been healthy for two years though.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
Why not squeeze?
If we’re going to be doing more of that, might as well try it when it doesn’t matter. If it doesn’t work, oh well. A little embarrassing, but shit happens.

sure. and I will add, why not execute at least with the bat part instead of pulling away.

Easy to tag out at home?

I'm happy he didn't try to run over the catcher. He'd have lost a limb.
He’s an A’s player after all.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
Because he didn't want to trip over the baseball bat that was right in the basepath?

Vizquel messed up on a tough barehanded play and he also lost a ball in the sun in foul ground. Rios and Pierre let a ball fall between them in deep left center.

If Patterson can drop a ball and it's ruled a triple then neither of those were errors.

You would think that, given the choice of paying the A’s $30M a year in revenue sharing for the next 15 years or so, or paying the Giants $100M or so once, the answer would be obvious.
