I could watch this all day. It's not overly produced. This show is like RedZone with analysis. Do I want to light an Eric Byrnes on fire? Sure. But at least they store Kevin Millar on shows I'll never watch. I am concerned with "controversy" attempts like Brian Kenny v Harold Reynolds. I really hope they don't attempt to create issues like ESPN or CSFMB.

How many others have been enjoying this the last couple years?

I am watching it right now, and I love it.

I watch quite often. I prefer the drunk reynolds from a few years ago to qualude harold who usually shows up now. Did you notice last week that fox is using these guys for the game of the week pregame? Dont know if that wws the case from the beginning of the season. Big up grsde in my book.

It's funny you say that. I've often thought Williams is slightly inebriated during most shifts. MLB Network people doing the FOX stuff is a big upgrade.

Did you just randomly return, or did you start posting under another deal? I don't read most threads, and what I've seen of the current posts have been great.

I like this show.

I find the shows produced by the league's networks to be better products than anything from YESPN.

I think part of the reason is that ESPN favors covering the "star" player while the individual network covers the actual sport. Often that includes the star, but they also will spend time highlighting some Mike Moustakas or Tommy Milone.

I have always been around but dont have the time i once hsd yo follow the board--especially the real long thread. Also i now listen to hardly any SCR or MVP as I hate most of the hosts. Many of the comments about the radio shows are loat on me. I also have a couple threads i follow and many times i just do not hsve much to add. I hsve always used the same name. Thanks for the nice comment.

I like it even more than the NFL network, now that may have something to do with my love for baseball but they do a damn good job. Also, they take you live to every game, no need to almost have the MLB package.

Completely agree.

Ill take it a step further. Its BETTER than having the package. With the package you have to search around, MLB network does the work for you.

And yes, WAAAY better than NFL network

MLB Tonight & NBA Gametime on NBA TV are both SOLID shows.

MLB Network's "MLB Tonight" is really good and they've got an All-Star roster of analysts.

I'll go one step further. Has anyone seen "Quick Pitch", this season with former Red Sox/NESN hottie Heidi Watney as host? Two words...More please!

Heidi Watney definitely had a following when she was the dugout reporter on NESN's Red Sox broadcasts. That much I can confirm.
