I don't understand the FOX pairings anymore. What is Joe Buck's deal? Is he only here to grace mid-season baseball coverage when a "sexy" game is on? It's mildly insulting when he just swoons in and gets the best game.
Buck's contract is for about 12 or so regular season games plus the LCS/World Series. McCarver also gets several weeks off, but not quite as many because Buck obviously does another sport. I think he is taking some time with the family before FOX's football coverage starts in the next week or so.
Buck isnt gonna be announcing. Its a thing to celebrate.
I don't understand why the White Sox and A's game has to be blacked out in the Chicago market. I want to see my city's team not a Twins-Indians. Seriously MLB/Fox let the local market have it's game on so the fans can watch the game they want to see.
Local teams cannot air their own telecasts opposite a Fox game. That is written into the Fox contract with Major League Baseball.
BTW Cardinals-Dodgers tonight is on ESPN2 -- the main ESPN channel has an NFL preseason game.
Giants-Mets is at Citi Field -- Fox added this game only because the Mets were involved.
Red Sox-Rangers on Saturday night is a simulcast from FSN Southwest.
