Why is Sportsnet carrying Los Angeles at Detroit coast to coast

[backontop]

When Baltimore and Cleveland are playing each other right now, and New York is playing Texas? Both the Yankees and Orioles are 3.5 games ahead of Toronto. Until the A's move to Montreal, Toronto has a monoply in Canada, real Canadian baseball fans would rather watch either Cleveland and Baltimore, or New York and Texas. Who cares who wins between Detroit and Los Angeles?

Cheaper to buy rights to 1 game than 3?

Remember we are paying good money for Rogers Cable these days.

Mike Trout

I'm not defending them, just making an educated guess.

Again my first comment in response to deadpools response was, to show only ONE game, but let that ONE game be the Rangers playing New York or Cleveland playing Baltimore, but not a game between LA and Detroit which means nothing to the Toronto Blue Jays or their good fans.

Pretty sure this would have been scheduled months ago.

Dude, we see the jays play Baltimore and New York 18 times each year. Why not switch it up and let people see LA and Detroit, both teams with huge stars that they don't get to see often.

Maybe its the whole windsor detroit thing for ontario at least the other stations i dunno probably because like others have said rogers decided to say f*** it we already have this game put it on everywhere

There's zero chance of MLB ever going back to Montreal.

Yankees aren't worth showing right now with that awful roster. Tigers/Angels have huge stars such as Carbrera, Fielder, Pujols, Hamilton, Trout, Trumbo.. guess which one Sportsnet would choose?

I lived in Windsor during the 70's, in those days Tiger fans were die-hard Tiger fans. But two new generations have come along since the 70's, I doubt today that most Windsor fans love the Tigers over the Blue Jays as they did when I was down there in the 70's. I was very young in those days and heard some great stories about various Tiger greats from what I thought as old people then, 40 and up. For example they told me George Kell was not a clutch hitter. And told me many things I didn't know as many of these great Tiger fans were in their 60's, 70's and 80's. But their long gone now. It would be interesting to hear just who they prefer in Windsor here in 2013 vs. 1977, and are the fans divided between the Tigers and Blue Jays or are they still 95% Detroit fans as they were when I was down there.

From Urtman, "there is zero chance Montreal will ever get a MLB team again" Money talks! There are a rich group of people wanting to bring MLB back to Montreal. There will never be expansion in our lifetime, but San Francisco has a good case vs. San Jose, and what market is left in the USA where there is not already a MLB team close by. It will be Montreal vs. Mexico City.

The Rangers vs Yankees game is on TSN2.

[backontop]

I don't like tsn 1 much less tsn 2, Rogers needs to buy tsn. OK so they fuked up tonight, but this is the first year since Rogers has owned the Jays that they have been in a pennant race. Rogers will learn that growing pains take time.

This was probably scheduled before the season began. With Hamilton going to Angels, they probably saw this as the two best teams in baseball playing each other.

[backontop]

The way that Rogers is so good at picking the right games, I didn't realize that old customs of picking games out for the game of the week still existed. Thank you admin. That is what Rogers gets for being so dog gone good at being a sports station. You expect perfection.
