June 15, 200422 yr When I say FOX, I mean the big FOX network (Saturdays and Playoffs), not Fox Sports Net. Which one airs the better presentation of the game of baseball? I vote FOX.
June 15, 200422 yr Fox is too loud and in your face. I like ESPN much better. That noise on FOX during replays bothers me.
June 15, 200422 yr Fox sucks. I am sick of Joe Buck talking about Sprint. Plus I just hate FOX's presentation.
June 15, 200422 yr FOX sucks.... first off I can't watch the Marlin games here when FOX decides to "Nationally" televise the Marlins. I put Nationally in quotes cause it's not really nationally I mean unless you live in FLA or the state of the other team. Secondly, they have not gone HD yet and until you start televising Games in HD, ESPN has that edge. Once you've seen a game in true HD it's never the same. FOX is behind in technology they are the worst of all the networks... :thumbdown
June 15, 200422 yr Author I find ESPN to be boring and always showing the same teams all the time. Dodgers Red Sox Diamondbacks Angels Cubs Yankees Giants A's Those are the main teams they show. Recently, due to Griffey, they have selected more Reds games. It gets rather boring, at least FOX airs more teams. 1. Yankees 2. Red Sox 3. Dodgers 4. Braves 5. Cardinals 6. Cubs 7. Rangers 8. Mets 9. Marlins 10. Diamondbacks 11. Phillies 12. Mariners 13. Angels 14. White Sox 15. Astros 16. Tigers 17. Twins 18. Giants 19. Orioles 20. Royals 21. A's 22. Rockies 23. Padres 24. Reds 25. Indians ...so far selected for the season on FOX. Not selected thus far... 26. Devil Rays 27. Blue Jays (Canada-No FOX affiliate) 28. Expos (Canada-No FOX affiliate) 29. Brewers 30. Pirates

FOX will soon have their HD trucks done which will allow them to do 6 NFL games a week and all 4 MLB games a week in HD. CBS, ABC/ESPN, and NBC can't match it once it gets on the air.

Pirates I was answering this question.... Which one airs the better presentation of the game of baseball? and I say again, FOX may air other teams but they do not really allow you to see the game unless you fall under a certain region. So technically they do not even get the edge there. At least I can see the Marlins when they are on ESPN and when they played the braves in HDTV earlier this year I was in heaven, even though we lost that game.
June 15, 200422 yr its hard to say. it doesnt really matter. but im leaning towards fox a lil bit :whistle
June 15, 200422 yr Author Hey djm, Here is the link for the NFL on FOX HD. The World Series will be in HD this year, and the All Star Game may be if the trucks and FOX HD station installation gets done in time. http://www.foxsports.com/content/view?contentId=2320250
June 15, 200422 yr Fox shows all the same teams also. If you cant see the Royals or Twins or Tigers in your market then what use is it really?
June 15, 200422 yr Production? ESPN. The mid-game interviews with Dibble and Ravetch are the best. Their approach leaves baseball fans without the headache that FOX's all flash no substance approach induces. Selection? Either is slim pickings. With ESPN you have a chance to watch atleast 1 game per team. FOX with their regional broadcasts make it impossible to watch any team other than the Yankees/Red Sox/Braves/Dodgers/Cubs/Mets in most areas f the country.
June 15, 200422 yr Author Fox shows all the same teams also. If you cant see the Royals or Twins or Tigers in your market then what use is it really? That will change with the advent of Digital Television Das. Fox will be able to show you your main game in HD, and the 3 other games on subchannels. It's called multicasting and once you do the transition for yourself and it gets rolling, you shall see.
June 15, 200422 yr For the Marlins? Selfishly, neither. I always end up missing Len and Tommy- they're great. I like ESPN's K-zone thingy. I was watching a Mariners game on FSN and they showed the path of a pitch and that was pretty cool too. Don't know why they don't do that here.

PPS doesn't have all the baseball camera angles so our crew doesn't use them at home or away.
