I don't remember them doing this in the past, but espn/espn2 will show 12 spring training games this year, including marlins-orioles at jupiter on March 16 on ESPN. Also, three Marlins spring games (March 21 vs. Mets, March 28 vs. Red Sox, April 3 vs. Mets) will be shown on Fox Sports Net.

I'll be at the april 4th game against the topes. It won't be on TV but so what, I'll be there!

Last year there was ONE ST game on TV, this year there are four, and one being played Nationally?

Hey WC, isnt that LeBatard in the red shirt in that sig photo of yours (with Castro in it)?

Probably. But he'll never admit it was him. After all, the man in the photo is cheering for the Marlins.

Very nice news.

damn they're hating on the Expos, would have loved to see ESPN come to my town.

 

edit* I see they do have the expos but not when they're playing at home. damn.

I like in Merritt Island. Do you live by Viera also?

ESPN doesn't air in Canada. They have TSN which is Canada's ESPN, but shows only Blue Jays baseball...and very little of it. Rogers, which owns the Jays, has it's SportsNet which is like FSN which airs Jays and Mariners games.

I live in Viera about 5 minutes from the stadium.

That's great. They are gonna be putting on a lot of the spring training games on TV. That will be cool to see.

Awesome news for the Marlins and us.

I hope the games are replayed in the evenings....so us working folk can see them.

Cool news. I'll get to check'em out on ESPN and FSN. Let spring training begin!

Farmer, you going to any ST games this year? It's just not the same without the Fish there. Hell, even the seats are teal. I'm going to the 2 Marlin games and the Cards game.

When was the last time you saw a ST game at night?

Cactus league ones?

that ain't spring training. If it ain't in Florida, it ain't spring training. The temps and rain in Arizona get unbearable in March.

I'm going to the 2 marlins games and whatever team they're playing on the only other saturday game that isn't florida. (I think it's that astros, not sure though.) I may go to more games if possible but those are the only ones for sure.

 

Yeah it does suck that the marlins don't play here any more. First they took them off the tv here. (Living in Merrit Island I'm assuming you have Brighthouse Networks) and then they take them out of the stadium.

 

At least there is somebody playing at the stadium. It would be terrible if that stadium was going to waste. With the uncertainty of the expos situation it's not certain if the expos will remain in the stadium long term.
