I don't know if I should be happy or sad that Vasgersian is calling a Giants game?

This can't be right. I thought it was illegal not to schedule the Yankees or Red Sox for at least 50% of national telecasts

I like the fact that MLB Net has scheduled other teams besdies Yanks and Sosx every other week. By the way, Didd I see the schedule correctly? The Royals are on it? I don't think the Royals have bee on National TV since the 80's. And I'm not even a Royals fan.

I like the schedule but I would like to see some continuity with the announcing teams. Since they have so much talent, consider a three man booth with a reporter who offers commentary like Peter Gammons on Sunday Night Baseball. Have a "B Team" with the same number of announcers and pick one group or another. Swap out the regular PBP with Costas when the game is a big one.

I believe that AA already posted that neither the Yankees or Red Sox are the most nationally televised team this year.

Notable: AL champion Rays will be on MLB Network before they are on Fox or ESPN.

I'll take Vasgersian over Costas any fucking day of the week!!!

Always good to hear Matt V announce a Brewers game again. I miss the Matt V days on FSN North (even though Brian Anderson isn't too bad).

While I agree that it's nice to see such a diverse schedule, let's be clear about one glaring point: MLB Network is not yet being rated by Neilsen. The true test of their scheduling will be once they start being rated as a national network. My guess is once the ratings count, the marquee matchups will start to prevail.

goody, I don't think they will. If they really wanted to pander to that, they would have not worked to get so many different teams up on national tv.

I'm not alone in applauding the move - it's something that FOX and ESPN could learn from. That way, when the Sox or Yanks fail to make it to the world series, there isn't the huge drop off in ratings. The casual fan doesn't care about the other teams because they never have seen them before. But if they was a better rotation of teams on national, then you'd see a much better return on ratings in the postseason.

Great job, MLB TV, now hurry up and get on uverse.

I think ESPN in general, and Baseball Tonight in specific, are going to be in trouble because of the MLB Network.

So far anyways, MLB Tonight is much more balanced and fair than Baseball Tonight ever is. When I tune in I want to see all the highlights, not just the Yankees and Red Sox.

This schedule give me even more hope that MLB Network will not just be another ESPN clone.
