March 13, 200917 yr Barry Jackson : FOX give the Marlins no respect So let's get this straight. The Marlins finished 84-77 last season and received not one appearance on Fox's 2009 Saturday baseball schedule, which includes three regional games each week. The Braves (72-90) were given eight games. Heck, even Oakland (75-86) and Seattle (61-101) got one apiece. How can this be?The Marlins' low payroll and lack of a national following are among the reasons why they are the only U.S.-based team with a winning 2008 record that did not get a 2009 game on Fox. Toronto (86-76) also got left off. And the Marlins were omitted from ESPN's first-half Sunday night schedule, too. ''That's disappointing,'' said P.J. Loyello, the Marlins' senior vice president/broadcasting. ``We have a lot of good players that deserve showcasing. We have household names. We have the most prolific double-play tandem in baseball. I expected to have at least one appearance. But it has been like this for the longest time. We had one national appearance after winning the [2003] World Series.'' Fox representative Dan Bell said the network is taking a wait-and-see approach with the Marlins and might add a game later. At least TBS is carrying two Sunday afternoon Marlins games -- Mets (April 12) and Phillies (April 26), though Fox Sports Florida gets local exclusivity. FYI: FS-Florida's first of 152 Marlins games will be at 1 p.m. Saturday against Minnesota. Typical........ :thumbdown The national media just continues to hate us for eliminating the Cubs in 2003.

Not to mention taking out the Mutts these last two years on the last day. Hurts the ratings for playoffs. Oh well, a burden we are all happen to carry.
March 13, 200917 yr Well we got one fox game last year after the ASb so ill assume that will happen agian.
March 13, 200917 yr Whatever...the national commentators are always talking sh*t when they do happen to call our games. I prefer Rich and Tommy anyway because they are huge Marlins homers and I love them for it!
March 13, 200917 yr If the Marlins are playing well late in the year, they will get their Saturday Fox games
March 13, 200917 yr I chuckle every time i see the national media pull something like this out of their asses, honestly i much rather watch the games with the great team at FSN Florida than the stuck up snubs at FOX. Who gives a sh*t if FOX snubs us again, it means nothing, specially from where it is coming from.
March 13, 200917 yr You say it like its a new thing that the national don't like to make a coverage of us.
March 13, 200917 yr Whatever...the national commentators are always talking sh*t when they do happen to call our games. I prefer Rich and Tommy anyway because they are huge Marlins homers and I love them for it! Yeah they alwasy say something about how no one comes to the games or something. I do prefer Tommy and rich too.
March 13, 200917 yr What will be interesting to watch unfold is when Fox needs to move a Marlins gametime in order to accomodate televising a game elsewhere. In the past the Marlins have always been willing to go along, and while the decision I suspect is ultimately made in the Commissioner's office, this year the Marlins may not be so willing to go along unless forced to and with some strings tied to it.

I don't think the Marlins have much of a choice on the situation. And even if they did, I doubt they would be against it.
March 13, 200917 yr It used to bother me but now it just makes it sweeter when we win. Bring on the haters!
March 13, 200917 yr i bet if we in race after july their add us maybe game vs mets or phy like last year

I don't understand why you have such a problem with this. I mean...you give the Marlins no respect either. Aren't we going to lose 100 games this year, and never ever see winning baseball till Loria leaves? I mean, if that's the case, why should FOX care to carry our games?

Because every other National league team is getting at least 1 game, including the putrid Pittsburgh Pirates and the equally putrid Washington Nationals. They get at least 1, and the Marlins NOTHING ? That is total disrespect. I can diss my team, because its my team, but those from the outside should show proper respect.

No. If the team is as bad as you say, FOX has no obligation to show the team. FOX wants viewers, I'm sure. They could care less about "horrendus teams" with "busts like Jeremy Hermida" (should've had Cole Hamels!!!!) in the outfield.

You can't explain that with the same argument. Can't use the argument that they are larger markets because Florida is larger than Pittsburgh. It comes down to Loria. The media hates Loria as well. Its his fault, he must go, then the Marlins will be on TV. :whistle
March 14, 200917 yr I wasn't expecting any. Whatever, I would rather listen to Rich and Tommy anyday.

March 14, 200917 yr Author I wasn't expecting any. Whatever, I would rather listen to Rich and Tommy anyday. I also enjoy listening to Rich and Tommy, but the whole point is that without any national exposure it inhibits guys like Hanley from getting commercial contracts. In the long run, the reputation will hurt the Marlins. Guys will never want to sign longterm deals here and always be looking to get out. Hanley might be the last long term deal you ever see with the Marlins. Not because the Marlins don't want it, but because players will not want to play here.

March 14, 200917 yr Thanks to not living in New Mexico anymore and Bright House adding Fox Sports Florida to their programming I can now care less. I feel bad for the fish fans outside of the state but this doesn't really effect them if they can afford to buy MLB Extra Innings via DirecTV. In other words, screw the national media.
