Marlins last pre-season game will be in Albuquerque against our AAA Isotopes on April 4th. I'd love to see or hear that. Anyone (Capefish?) know if that's possible? Wonder if our so-called FlagShip QAM could carry it.

don't they televise all the spring training games on FSN.

The game will be in Isotopes Park which means no FSN Florida coverage because they only do the three night games at Roger Dean.

 

WQAM is unlikely because they suck. I suggest Isotopes Radio. Let me find the link.

610 The Sports Animal is the Isotopes Radio Home.

I don't see a listen live link, but it is the offseason.

Thanks Capefish. I bookmarked 610 Sports Animal and will check it in March. It would be so cool if QAM would carry it. The Marlins against the future Marlins, including guys we just saw in Spring Training and some guys we'll see in September (if not sooner). Again, thanks for your help.

I am checking into whether the Isotope's cbale partner Comcast is going to air the game in ABQ on Cable. If so, one of our ABQ users might be able to record it and possibly mail it or even post it as a video file to stream.

Nothing about the Isotopes on Comcast, but the Scorpions Hockey Team does have one away game, so it may be done. I will keep on checking.

Are the Marlins opening the season in Florida?

 

If so...they're going from Florida to Albuqueque and back to Florida?

yup.

 

Montreal @ Florida on the 6th. No time as of yet due to ESPN.

I'm a bit worried about that. Spring games ending on March 29th, flying to Albuquerque, playing a game on the 4th and then coming back.

 

Although maybe (I'd hope!) that they don't take a lot of the starters.

When the Marlins played the Sea Dogs a couple years ago, they had the starting 8 plus A.J. Burnett, who was making his first "start" since that freak grass-slipping injury. Most of the regulars stayed in until they got one at bat, and then was replaced with someone on one of the single-A teams. The only person that stayed the entire game was Kevin Millar, who was one of the fan favorites in Portland. I imagine they will follow a similar plan in New Mexico.

I assume it'll be like the All-Star game: pitchers throw 2 innings tops, and hitters get at least 1 AB each. I think seeing the WS champs and Marlins players in Albuquerque will probably be more important (or entertaining for the fans) than the game.

I remember that game(I was up in NH where the main news is The Portland Channels and I believe it was NBC6 that carried the game.

 

I always loved it when The Phillies came to Scranton to play Their AAA affiliate Barons. It's always a good way to get your name across and send the statement you care about your affiliates.

Channel 8 WMTW probably carried the game, but no doubt the highlights made all of the channels, including WCSH. If they do it like last time, all the pitchers will be minor leaguers, with the exception (perhaps) of the starter. But of course, last time they came during the season (before an interleague series with Boston), so perhaps some pitchers could get in their final work before the season starts.

Albuquerque's CHL team has shown a game on Comcast Cable, but I haven't seen anymore on local pro sports than that.

 

Anybody know if KOB-TV or the UPN affilliate in ABQ supports the Isotopes?
