7/4 - 7/10 Game Discussion Thread

[Cutter15]

I can understand that for FOX/TBS, but I'm not sure how it would work for say, ESPN 2 who is currently airing Mike and Mike high-lights. I'm not saying the jump would be huge, but I'd be willing to bet a team with a fanbase as large as the Braves do (Georgia to Louisiana is a lot of people) would only cause in increase in ratings.

But then again, I guess all they have to do for Mike and Mike is set up cameras.

Don't forget the majority of Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, S. Carolina and Kentucky.

The shows they put on during the day cost them next to nothing. Picking up the cost on another package of games, not to mention paying another travelling crew just isn't worth the small bump in ratings. ESPN already does enough baseball during the week in prime time.

Mike and Mike have a "highlights" show?

I'd prefer a swift kick to the nuts.

So on the off night, I took the Angels and Red Sox, and took the under in the Giants/Padres game.


Lost a ton on the Tigers game where Verlander got thrown out

It's weird because it doesn't feel like this is a good team, but they just keep winning. I don't think they have even played up to their potential!
