ESPN's baseball coverage tonight

[SouthSideRyan]

ESPN's Wednesday Night game(Red Sox, shocking) was rained out so they had been(I don't know if they switched to just showing the Yankee game now that a New York team is on) moving around to different games showing a few ABs, an inning or so.

 

I don't know how the rights work out involving extra innings and MLB TV but does anyone else think it would be a good idea to do this once a week rather than show the same 6 teams in every primetime game. Do it almost like golf does it where you can always have action going on, show a few ABs here, a few ABs there, it would be a nice way to actually get exposure for the Devil Rays of the world who never get on TV. Additionally it would be a decent way to gain the Attention deficit disorder crowd too. You have so much discussion of speeding up games and you have all the stupid crap at stadiums to keep people occupied. How bout actually occupying a person with nonstop baseball for 3 hours?

DirecTV provides this very service on a near-nightly basis.

That it is a great idea, but I think ESPN is under the impression that MLB consists of 3 teams:

 

Yankees

Red Sox

Yankees

Corrected for emphasis. (combining pet peeves as well)

The Orioles-Blue Jays game was awful. The Blue Jays announcers just about put me to sleep and the Orioles pitcher (some guy I've never heard of before) seemed like he was taking lessons from Trachsel.

 

Burnett had a real good start, but the first two innings were two of the worst innings I have witnessed in a while.

do you work for direct tv? or do they just pay you for every time you mention them on the board?

Actually think you might replace the 2nd Yankees with the San Francisco Fighting Barry Bonds's. Pretty sure that club is just Barry and a bunch of photographers, trainers, and maybe a bat boy at this point.
