I’m actually kind of stoked about this. It’s good to see MLB returning to one of the original big three networks. It has to give us more exposure don’t you think?
The thing that made baseball big was the accessibility of over-the-air broadcasts on radio and television. Baseball gave up that advantage to football and got passed up. Then you had MLBTV being WAY ahead of the game, but they hamstrung it with blackouts. It finally seems like baseball is figuring it out in the last couple years with the collapse of regional sports networks.
And if they can actually get some commentators that know how to call a game, even better. I would be all for them using a combo crew for each game from the two teams playing.
Multiple games for a rebuilding team and no games for the Brewers.
Love it.
I imagine they have same/similar flex rules as ESPN had for Sunday Night Baseball

I’m not sure that network tv is anymore accessible than OTA now.

Dude, your flair...

That's a classic!
I'm more concerned with why the Mets get 4.
New York New York
And only 1 AL Central team getting a game.

Thanks for the reminder. You can’t say it enough. FTC!
How is there a Sunday night game on both September 6th and September 7th?
It's a poorly titled post. The graphic is showing all "MLB on NBC" games, not necessarily Sunday night games.
Having worked for an NBC affiliate for decades, that was just force of habit with the “Sunday Night”.
It’s a leap Sunday to balance the calendar.
There are also going to be some SNB games on Peacock/NBCSN in April and September while NBC airs NBA and NFL on Sunday nights.
Cardinals-Tigers in Detroit on April 5 is one of them.
Add in the fact that if you're a Peacock subscriber, you'll soon be able to turn down or off the announcers, and it's Baseball Bliss.
But it sounds like they want to get Jason Benetti back to do PbP, so it may not be a bad announce to keep up.
So are these actually on broadcast TV or some NBC streaming channel?
These are the broadcast games. There will be more on Peacock
Ah, nice then
Part of the fun of baseball these days is figuring out which app I have to download and whether or not it’s going to cost anything.
Well, we know where we can watch two of the games. I'm still waiting to hear about the other 160
Let’s just hope Mikolas doesnt pitch.
For for LA? I hate the favorites so much
