FYI: YES is televising the Toronto game...

[23jordan]

FYI for you guys. The spring training schedule on Yankees.com says that tomorrow's Toronto game will only be available on MLB TV. I just saw a commercial on YES saying they ARE televising the game at 1:00 PM.

I know there was a number of people wanting to see Hughes pitch so I just wanted to let everyone know.

[hellonewman]

I'm there.

[Sam18]

Phillip Hughes...

[-tz]

Oh boy ... baseball on Sunday afternoon!

EDIT: Hmmm ... Sunday's game, or Monday's? (Monday's WAS scheduled to be on YES.)

[SI Baseballman]

You can also see Bernie meet the Mets on ESPN at 2.

I hope he brings his kiddies, brings his wife.

[AMYanks]

Hmm... on my guide it says the 2003 ALCS Game 3 is on from 1 PM - 4 PM. Maybe they changed their schedule because they know people want to see Hughes?

EDIT: I just checked out YESNetwork.com, and this game isn't on the schedule. Are you sure you saw the right game?

[ppa79]

perfect

[gdn]

There's some confusion here. YES was always telecasting Monday's game at 1:15. Hughes is pitching in today's game, which isn't televised.

[Yankee Steve]

More confusion. Today's game is listed as being televised by MLB but if you go to the MLB site, it is NOT one of the games listed.

[38Special]

For every schedule on MLB.com, it shows MLB.TV under every s/t game, despite the fact that it is far from the case.

The only games on MLB.TV are:
BOS v MIN
HOU v PHI
SF v CHC


However, if you have gameday audio on mlb.com, the game will be available via the stream

[ppa79]

I am still confused about today's game. Is it on YES, on the radio, both, or neither?

[Yankee Steve]

It should be on CBS radio. No YES and no MLB TV. MLB audio will have it.

[Casey37]

I hope he brings his kiddies, brings his wife.

I wonder if he'll have the time of his life..

[gdn]

More confusion. Today's game is listed as being televised by MLB but if you go to the MLB site, it is NOT one of the games listed.

It is NOT being televised ANYWHERE. As 38 said, you can get it on the radio, which I'm assuming is from CBS.

[-tz]

It should be on CBS radio. No YES and no MLB TV. MLB audio will have it.

At the end of the broadcast yesterday, Sterling said the next game on the radio would be next Saturday.

The MLB Yankee broadcast schedule here has no TV and no radio for today's game. If you go to the Blue Jay broadcast schedule here you'll find a radio station listed, but no TV. So I'm assuming the game will be available from MLB Gameday Audio, but only the Toronto feed.

Better than nothing, though!

[38Special]

Correct tz. It's playing on the Toronto radio stations

Here's a place you may be able to listen to it:

Thanks! I'm definitely going to listen to it.

[CaptainThurman]

Uh....Major League rules prevent streaming of this audio....?

[gdn]

Ok, so I tried both links and apparently, MLB rules don't allow streaming. So there's no audio feed... unless someone is in Toronto and wants to provide PBP.

Why the heck does YES show the games during the weekdays at 1pm when everyone is at work, but none on the weekends.

[gdn]

Yeah, it's really annoying. Is there gameday?

[38Special]

My apologies, usually that works. I have gameday audio so i will provide some pbp in the game thread

[obsessedyankeefan]

Total stupidity.

gdn, I just noticed your avatar. Is that Sachin Tendulkar?

Hey thanks! I got it to work through CJCS on the list of stations. Everyone tune in.... you'll need real player.

Got it! Thanks

[ericns1]

While it is only an exhibition game it is good they won so that George will not go crazy about it - this spring training is not normal due to the WBC but if George is calmer we can try the propsects and see how they do.

[BRNXBMRS]

Yesterday was the perfect day for a Spring Training game. It was freezing out and there was nothing on tv. Everyone should send an email to YES.

[gdn]

Wang is pitching today.

[ppa79]

Wang is pitching today.

Too bad I am at work.

[ppa79]

Yup. I really wanted to see a game yesterday.

[DontHateOnNumber2]

This is the freaking reason why I can't listen to it on Gameday Audio. Hopefully Wang does a good job though.

[gdn]

Someone needs to give PBP.

[Tifoso]

Yes, please. Not on MLB Radio, for some reason.

[gdn]

Anyone watching this on YES? It's game time and there's no GT thread.

[ShaneTravis]

Anyone watching this on YES? It's game time and there's no GT thread.

sweet. I will turn on Yes.

[Tifoso]

Please start a GT, and keep us posted, OK? Thanks.

[gdn]

sweet. I will turn on Yes.

Then go to the GT Forum and start a thread

[knickfan23]

For the moment, the game is once again blacked out if you are outside the YES footprint.

[ShaneTravis]

Then go to the GT Forum and start a thread

Dude, I have the worst luck. I mean the worst luck. I hate jinxing things.

[justinvarnes]

does anybody have a feed for the game? it's blacked out on directv outside NY. Maybe b/c the Mets are on ESPN???????

[gdn]

Dude, I have the worst luck. I mean the worst luck. I hate jinxing things.

Dude, it's Spring Training! I wanna know what's going on in the game! GT please?

[justinvarnes]

FYI: YES is now showing the game. It was blacked out until a minute ago...

[BRNXBMRS]

Yup. I really wanted to see a game yesterday.

Especially with Hughes & Duncan playing.

[hellonewman]

Just as an aside, and I should be used to this kind of thing by now, but Michael Kay and Bobby Murcer are doing a BRUTAL job on these ST games. A huge part of the charm of watching a spring game is to get a look at the young players, the rookies. What kind of background info, scouting info etc. are Kay and Murcer giving us on these kids? Practically none. A few times I've come back in from another room a few pitches into the inning to find some unfamiliar kid on the mound for the Yankees, and I've had to wait 3 or 4 batters before one of them even mentions the kid's name.

The only rookie they seem to be giving any kind of chatter to is Marcos Vecchionacci, and even then, the banter is pretty much restricted to:
a) Joe Torre loves his defense.
b) Yogi Berra isn't sure if "Vechionacci" is an Italian name.

We're basically getting no low-down at all on these kids, and it's pretty apparent that Kay and Murcer, two guys who no doubt are well-compensated for their work, basically parachuted into these games without doing any real preparation. Great work, guys!

[BRNXBMRS]

Are any Spring training games going to be on YES this weekend?

Yes, Saturday's game vs. the Braves at 1:15 PM.
