by pattimelt on Jan 4, 2009 4:56 AM PST reply actions

I have Time Warner, and wasn't even aware of this channel...

Good stuff. Is this like MLB’s version of the NFL network? (Which I don’t get, because of stupid Time Warner)

I've got nothing.

I feel like it would be even better

If they could somehow sub out Joe Buck’s voice for, well, silence would do..

I watched Don Larsen's Perfect Game twice already.

Other than that, I’ve not seen anything I would tune in to watch unless I had a lot of extra time and was bored. Lots of re-runs……….similar to watching “Before the Bigs…..” over and over.

I haven’t seen or heard anything I didn’t already know yet (other than watching the Perfect Game).

Maybe things will get spicier as Spring Training approaches.

Anyone with DirecTV gets the program on Channel 213.

by AnaheimHalos61 on Jan 5, 2009 11:14 AM PST up reply actions

no

anything with steve phillips on it (ie ESPN) sucks. Therefore, MLB Hot Stove > Steve Phillips

Not the least bit shocked at this but, on new years day when it started we were subject to: 2004 redsox post season highlights, then immediately after that…… all time greatest redox moments……. gag me with a spoon already. Being that I’m a huge baseball fan, all the historical trivia I’ve learned about has been pretty cool even if it is about the team i hate the most. Yesterday they did an awesome little thing on nolan ryan’s no hitters. All in all its rad, and it seems to be getting better day by day.

What in the wide wide world of sports is a goin on here?

by AlohaHalofan on Jan 4, 2009 10:51 AM PST reply actions

Feel the same way

You just have to get over the Red Sox/Yankees crap before you even tune in. It wasn’t terribly difficult to predict that those two teams would take up a huge chunk of the programming content. I’m just thankful that we finally have a 24-hour baseball channel. How sweet is that?

Oh yeah, and the Nolan Ryan thing was killer.

This sucks!

For Dish Network subscribers, go to the http://mlb.mlb.com/network MLB Network website, enter your zip code in the channel locator box, and click on the channel locator button. It takes you to a page where you can send a MLB sponsored message to Dish to urge them to carry the MLB Network. If everybody does this, it may make a difference.

I think ESPN and FOX are probably keeping Dish from carrying the new network somehow. Why don’t these websites have it set up where you can watch on line? After all it is 2009 and the technology is there. If you can listen to AM830 on line what is the problem with this new state of the art sports network? Really.

I've tried that for U-Verse

and it’s not even listed. How depressing.

by Chzburger Jones on Jan 4, 2009 12:26 PM PST up reply actions

Could be a lot worse

Just checked the perfect game out. Good history of media if nothing else. 50+ yr old shaving cream commercials. Ads were hysterically funny and just as annoying back then! Vin broadcasting the last half. Amazing.
