It's Going to be a Televised Spring for the Braves

PrintIf you're like me and you can't wait until that very first hint of spring, then you're in luck as you won't have to wait longer than the very first Braves game of Spring Training. Between the MLB Network, Fox Sports South, and ESPN, there will be tons of Braves games on TV this spring. Here is a rundown:
Tuesday, March 2nd @ 1pm - Braves vs. Mets on MLB
Tuesday, March 9th @ 7pm - Phillies vs. Braves on CSS (Comcast?) and MLB
Thursday, March 11th @ 7pm - Braves vs. Yankees on CSS and MLB
Tuesday, March 16th @ 1pm - Marlins vs. Braves on FSS and MLB
Wednesday, March 17th @ 1pm - Braves vs. Marlins on FSS and MLB
Tuesday, March 23rd @ 1pm - Braves vs. Mets on ESPN
Wednesday, March 24th @ 1pm - Phillies vs. Braves on ESPN
Friday, March 26th @ 1pm - Tigers vs. Braves on ESPN
Tuesday, March 30th @ 1pm - Yankees vs. Braves on CSS
Wednesday, March 31st @ 1pm - Astros vs. Braves on CSS and MLB
That's an impressive slate of games -- at least two each week. The last two games back in Atlanta will also be televised on Fox Sports South, the 2nd and 3rd of April.
The only downside to this spring television schedule is that there are no weekend games. I suppose I'll be pushing the limits of my DVR or playing a lot of hookie from work.

When you say MLB is this the network or the MLB yearly package?

A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.

It might be the baseballs
Per tweet from DOB: “No vehicular damage wrought by Jason Heyward BP blasts today; just one titanic shot that cleared parking lot and yellow wall behind it.”
I decided to do a little Google Earth ranging. The only field at Disney with cars and a wall beyond right field is the main ballpark. Best average approximate I can make is about 460 feet to clear that wall beyond the cars. Oh. My.
CSS is Comcast Sports. In my neck of the woods (Cobb County) it’s channel 45. Guess ESPN is saving weekends for the Yankees and Red Sox….
Do you really need to guess? lol

At least I don’t live in Mountain time zone…nothing happens there. They don’t even list it.

I live in state that has its own time zone. How do you think I feel?

im pretty sure how that works. I just know we’re on Cali time half the year and Colorado time the other half of the year.

To be more specific, it’s always Mountain Standard Time, where other parts of the nation vary from Standard to Daylight. So it’s not so much that you guys flip back and forth as the rest of the nation moves back and forth around you.
To make it more complicated, Navajo reservations within Arizona do observe DST, but the Hopi reservations inside the Navajo reservations do not.
I think I’m getting a headache.

Welcome to Arizona
Perfect weather for 7 months of the year, hell for the other 5 months.

Okay, help me understand something here: Is that “dry heat” business complete bunk? People always tell me the heat in the Midwest and Southwest isn’t as oppressive as in the Deep South because it’s less humid. Is that true?
that's total BS
Sure, it might not be humid, but 100 degrees is hot no matter where you are. “Dry Heat” is a joke.

This may be true
But 102 degree Vegas desert outdoors feels a lot nicer than an 88 degree Atlanta evening.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Eh, humidity doesnt really bother me, but i can def. see where you’re coming from. Either way, I’d prefer to avoid both of those scenarios.

never been there
but I’m told 112 is hot. Buddies described a windy day as like standing in front of an oven with the door open.
haha, 'tis true
I just try to avoid outdoors during the day from May to September.

parking lots
Do your tennis shoes start to squish when you walk across a parking lot, like they are trying to melt?
It says over 150 games (all teams not Braves)
but I haven’t seen a schedule. I’ve wondered the same thing
Scrolling through the MLB.TV calendar, they have almost all of the games listed. Whether they pick up the feed I’m not sure
If it’s on any TV channel, it’ll be on there, IIRC.

I added the MLB Network to my Comcast today for,
$10 bucks a month. I should be able to get all the games now!
Go Braves!
When asked what aspects of Heyward’s game need improvement, one scout simply replied, "Nothing."
it was $10 bucks a month just for MLBN? Or did you get other premium channels too? I have Comcast too and have one of the lower level packages, but I don’t think I pay extra for it

Upgraded to the premium digital package, which includes the MLBN

24 Mar vs. Phillies
I’ll be at this game.
Heading home from Afghanistan (finally) on March 7… taking the family to Disney the week before Spring Break. Look for the guy who is 6’4", 240 lbs, wearing an old-school Murphy spring training jersey, and happy as sh*t to be back home… that’ll be me!
Heaven is a baseball field.
Can't think of anything better to do after getting home :)
"If I have asthma, they won't let me scuba. And if I can’t scuba, then what’s this all been about?? What am I working toward??"
Absolutely
Gotta give credit to the Mrs. We had the idea to take the boys to Disney, but she was the one who said, “We’re not gonna be down there and NOT go see the Braves!”
Heaven is a baseball field.
thank you for your service
it’s appreciated man.

and thank you.
Keep those guys and gals in your prayers fellas (and ladies).
Heaven is a baseball field.
No fucking weekend games
Bullshit. I will most likely miss every one of these games.
