This will most likely be another pitchers duel, with 2 of the very best pitchers in baseball going at it...game is at 4 pm so that means it'll be a national broadcast, right?

Hopefully Phillips can get back in there.

It will be on FSO if that is what you are asking.

Fox seemed to change their programming a little bit with the game of the week. They used to have one or a very small sampling of a national game on a saturday afternoon and no other games could be started in that time frame.

That didnt work out too well because, well, do you think that the average baseball fan is going to be inside and watching a game on TV on a nice saturday afternoon? Nah, they are out doing man stuff. Now.....an evening game is a bit different.

So fox started to put on a few games in the evening for their Saturday Night Baseball lineup. Reds/Braves I think were on it last saturday night.

This is working better for a couple of reasons....timing...and having a few other games to choose from. Fox I think started to realize if they want better ratings on their telecasts on the big fox they need to have more games on and at a better time.

I am a huge reds fan...and I love baseball....but I dont have time to really watch non reds games. Fox is opening up the market and having a few games regionally on saturady nights and hope to see better returns which I think they will

Excerpt from a may article
"But look what's going on here: Last season, in what was described as an "experiment," Fox aired a Yankees-Dodgers Saturday matchup last June in prime time. The ratings were good.

So good that Fox, starting Saturday night, will broadcast three straight weeks of Saturday night games. The schedule is regionalized

In looking it up....I am not sure if this is on the big fox or FSO. The article i read state they are dong it for three weekends in May to see how it goes. last year I guess it was a success.

I always thought that during the 4 pm slots, there are 3 or 4 games going on, each in a different region, and each playing on FOX in their respective regions.

It may be their regional game on the big fox. When they went to saturda night games I thought it was for the full season but it was only for a few test weeks in May to see if the ratings change at all. Last week reds/braves were part of that regionalized games on the big fox and not FSO This very well may part of their regionalized games on the big fox

They show three 4:10 games on "big Fox". Apparently they'll be split regionally.

Really want to go down but I only lasted 30mins on our deck just now, don't think I want to sit through 3 hours of it. Cueto is getting better but he's still so slow. Last night was perfect.

I'll be heading down when my wife gets off work...so we're probably going to miss the first 3-4 innings. Hopefully I can get a deal off a scalper since we'll be there so late.

Anyone know if this is a sellout? I checked online and the ticketing portion is not working, and I've been on hold with customer service for going on 15 minutes now.
