- First-ever MLB at Rickwood Field pays tribute to the legacy of The Negro Leagues and Birmingham's Iconic Ballpark
- FOX Sports celebrates its silver (25th) anniversary of televising the MLB All-Star Game with live coverage of the 2024 MLB All-Star Game from Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas on Tuesday, July 16 at 8:00 PM ET (7:00 PM CT)
Batter up! As the 29th season of FOX Sports' Major League Baseball nears us as the cold winter months progress, the network revealed its full schedule on Wednesday (January 10) for the upcoming 2024 MLB regular season - featuring traditional divisional rivalries, an international game and a special edition game added to the slate.
The network is scheduled to start regular season coverage on Saturday, March 30 with three must-see contests, beginning with a showdown in Philadelphia as Ronald Acuña Jr. and the Atlanta Braves visit Bryce Harper and the Philadelphia Phillies at 4:00 PM ET on FS1. Braves-Phillies marks the advent of FS1's 11th (!!) year of televising MLB games. Later that night, regionalized action goes to primetime as the New York Yankees travel to Minute Maid Park for a battle with the Houston Astros and the San Francisco Giants lock horns with the divisional foe San Diego Padres, with both games being scheduled for 7:00 PM ET on FOX.
FOX Sports' signature Baseball Night in America program, featuring regionalized primetime broadcasts, returns on Saturday, May 4 (Mariners vs. Astros and Mets vs. Rays, both 7:00 PM ET starts).
2024 Season Highlights:
- A longtime rivalry in the National League is set to be renewed across the pond as Francisco Lindor and the New York Mets tangle with Kyle Schwarber and the Philadelphia Phillies during the first game of the 2024 MLB World Tour: London Series. The action at London Stadium in London begins on Saturday, June 8 at 1:00 PM ET on FOX.
- Following several notable offseason signings, the highly anticipated interleague series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees makes its appearance on Baseball Night in America on Saturday, June 8 at 7:30 PM ET on FOX as Shohei Ohtani and his new team face off against Juan Soto and the Bronx Bombers.
- In the latest installment of special regular season games, MLB at Rickwood Field pays tribute to The Negro Leagues and its greatest living player - National Baseball Hall of Famer Willie Mays. The oldest professional ballpark in the United States, and the former home site of the Birmingham Black Barons, is set to provide the backdrop to a historic matchup between the San Francisco Giants and the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday, June 20 at 7:00 PM ET on FOX.
- FOX Sports returns to the state of Texas (fresh off the Rangers' World Series championship last season) as baseball's best players meet in the annual Midsummer Classic (2024 MLB All-Star Game presented by MasterCard) on Tuesday, July 16 at 8:00 PM ET on FOX. FOX celebrates their 25th televising of the All-Star Game this year.

It's been confirmed that Adam Wainwright will join the FOX crew full-time.
ReplyDeleteNever mind. He's now moving to MLB network.
Delete@Mark T. Mark, that's not true. Wainwright will still be working with FOX/FS1, but will also be working with MLB Network on the side (like during the week). So, Wainwright will be working with both networks.
DeleteGood to know.

Odd choice to have Wayne Randazzo call the Reds-Rangers game because 1. He's in Queens for Cardinals-Mets, so why not give him that game? 2. The flight time from Queens to Arlington is pretty long. And 3. What happened to Jason Benetti?
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Mark, I definitely agree with you on this peculiar Wayne Randazzo assignment. It seems pretty unfair to have Randazzo fly overnight to prepare for the next game with less than 24 hours of notice. FOX should have flipped Amin and Randazzo to be honest on the pxp assignments, keep Wayne in NYC since he was there already, and just had Amin do the game in Texas instead. Pretty dumb announcing assignment choice to me.
DeleteAs for Jason Benetti, he is calling a UFL (United Football League) game for FOX this weekend (the spring football league that FOX does), so he would have been unavailable anyway. But Benetti will be calling games on FOX at some point down the line, so don't worry about that.
Ok. Good to know.

I think this is pretty accurate. I think Wayne Randazzo will probably do the Angels vs Rangers game. I think Adam Amin will be calling Mariners vs Orioles on FS1.
DeleteHmm. I think Connor Onion or Kevin Kugler will do that game.
DeletePadres vs Braves has been postponed.
ReplyDeleteMy predictions for Saturday's games
ReplyDeleteCubs vs Cardinals- Adam Amin, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal

As a Mariners fan, I would appreciate your predictions for next Saturday's Games.
DeleteOk. Here they are
DeleteReds vs Cubs- Jason Benetti, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal
Cardinals vs Phillies- Adam Amin and Adam Wainwright
Angels vs Mariners- Aaron Goldsmith and AJ Pierzynski
Thank you. I could see Pierzynski working Cardinals vs Phillies game with Amin and Wainwright and Eric Karros working Angels vs Mariners with Goldsmith or Wayne Randazzo.
DeleteI wanted to say Benetti, Smoltz and Rosenthal would work Cardinals-Phillies but I changed my mind.
DeleteSo you'd think because Amin and Wainwright are calling Cubs-Cards that Davis, Smoltz and Rosenthal are surely calling Dodgers-Reds, no?
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Mark, I would think so based on the fact that the Amin/Wainwright pairing has already taken off the board with the CHC-STL game (and that game, of course, is the backup game). We'll see when FOX announces the pairing of the LAD/CIN game, but I going with Davis/Smoltz/Rosenthal based off the process of elimination.
DeleteYeah.
DeleteI'm not sure Rosenthal was on the call for Cardinals-Phillies.
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Mark, you're probably right. Rosenthal DID NOT tweet out yesterday on his Twitter account. Normally, Ken would post on the day that he was scheduled to work a game, but he didn't do that here.
DeleteHe didn't do a postgame interview either.
Delete@Mark T. Oh really? I didn't watch the game last night, but I was happy that you paid attention. Just Davis/Smoltz for STL/PHI then. Well update the listing.
DeleteAlso, A.J Pierzynski, confirmed that he'll be working the Rangers at Mariners game on June 15th, probably working with Aaron Goldsmith again.
DeleteThe Reds-Cubs game was in a delay.
ReplyDeleteI predict that Guardians-Marlins will be called by Kevin Kugler and Eric Karros.
ReplyDeletePredictions for next Saturdays games
ReplyDeleteYankees vs Red Sox- Joe Davis, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal
Rangers vs Mariners- Adam Amin and AJ Pierzynski
I hope so. As a Mariners fan, it would be nice to have someone other than Aaron Goldsmith be the play-by-play announcer for a Mariners FOX game in Seattle.
DeleteYeah. I appreciate that they have local announcers calling FOX games, but they don't have to do it all the time.
DeleteIf it's helpful, John Smoltz, confirmed during the Dodgers at Yankees game that he & Joe Davis & Ken Rosenthal will be at Rickwood Field for the Giants vs Cardinals Game on June 20th.
ReplyDelete@Desmond1992 Yes, it is very helpful! I appreciate it very much!
DeleteSurprised that Tom Verducci won't join them.
Delete@Mark T. Me too. Normally Verducci joins the lead crew for special one-off games, like this one.
DeleteI think he might be there, he was talking about it during the FS1 Game with Kenny Albert last night.
DeleteAaron Goldsmith will call the Mariners-Rangers game with AJ Pierzynski. So once again, Goldsmith calls a Mariners game on FOX.

Hmm. I could see someone replacing Smoltz for tomorrow.
DeleteGood predictions.
DeleteDavis, Smoltz and Rosenthal are working Dodgers-Giants while Amin and Pierzynski are calling Rangers-Orioles.
ReplyDeleteThat were great predictions, you nailed both of them!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Desmond!
DeleteMy predictions for Saturday's games
ReplyDeletePhillies vs Braves- Adam Amin, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal
Brewers vs Dodgers- Jason Benetti and AJ Pierzynski
I'll be pissed if they give Davis and Smoltz the Brewers-Dodgers game just because Davis is the Dodgers announcer.
Very good predictions Mark, I agree with you. FOX really needs to do a better job of not just having Play-by-Play announcers working the FOX games for the teams they work for. That's what annoys about them always having Aaron Goldsmith working the FOX Games for the Mariners even though he doesn't work for FOX anymore.
DeleteYeah. I remember that in 2015, FOX gave Tom Mccarthy a Phillies game even though he didn't work for FOX.
DeletePredictions for this week:
ReplyDeletePhillies at Braves (Adam Amin, A.J Pierzynski, Adam Wainwright, Ken Rosenthal)
Brewers at Dodgers (Jeff Levering, Eric Karros)
Unfortunately, Davis and Smoltz are indeed calling Brewers-Dodgers. Amin, Wainwright and Rosenthal are calling Phillies-Braves.
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Mark, that sucks that Rosenthal get assigned PHI/ATL, but Davis and Smoltz didn't. It seems FOX prioritizes the announcers' local connection over the best game. We have seen it with Aaron Goldsmith and the Mariners and now Joe Davis and the Dodgers. Phillies/Braves is the better game in my opinion, but FOX didn't seem to think so. The assignments should have been flipped -- Davis/Smoltz/Rosenthal on PHI/ATL and Amin/Wainwright on MIL/LAD. What is SO HARD about that?
DeleteExactly! I'm tired of FOX and the media hyping up the Dodgers despite their recent playoff failure.
DeleteMy predictions for next Saturdays games
ReplyDeleteBraves vs Padres- Joe Davis, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal
Twins vs Giants- Adam Amin and AJ Pierzynski
Pretty close to what I have. I think they'll have Eric Karros working Twins at Giants with Adam Amin this weekend, EK usually does FOX Games on the West Coast.
DeleteThat's a good point.
DeleteDavis,Pierzynski and Rosenthal are calling Braves-Padres. Kenny Albert and Eric Karros are calling Twins-Giants.
ReplyDeletePredictions for next Saturdays games
ReplyDeleteRed Sox vs Dodgers-Joe Davis, Eric Karros and Ken Rosenthal
Diamondbacks vs Cubs- Adam Amin and Adam Wainwright
Great predictions
ReplyDeleteI have: Adam Amin, John Smoltz & Ken Rosenthal for Red Sox at Dodgers
Kenny Albert & Adam Wainwright for Diamondbacks at Cubs
Hmm. I'd love to see Kenny Albert on the call for a game soon.
DeleteI think he worked the Twins at Giants game with Eric Karros last week, he's also done a couple of FS1 Games. I hope they have him working more games in July & August. I would like for him to be working MLB on FOX from now until football season begins in September.
DeleteOh you're right. I forgot about that.
DeleteHow did you find out Benetti and Pierzynski were calling Dbacks-Cubs?
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Mark, I was going through my Twitter/X on Wednesday and saw a tweet that Chicago Sun-Times deputy sports editor/media columnist that Jeff Agrest released. In that tweet, Agrest says: "Jason Benetti & AJ Pierzynski will call Diamondbacks-#Cubs for @MLBONFOX on Saturday."
DeleteJeff Agrest has been a godsend for me in the past, because he regularly posts stuff on his Twitter/X account regarding who is calling games in the Chicago market (Cubs, White Sox, Bulls, Blackhawks, Bears, and so forth). He basically knows the broadcast assignments before the general public does (sadly, FOX doesn't release their announcers/distribution days before the game, like they did up until recently). Instead, we HAVE to wait until Saturday to find out everything, which is STUPID!
It really is. Thanks for letting me know.
DeleteI agree, FOX should let fans know at least a day ahead of time who the announcers are going to be. I have Adam Amin, Tom Verducci & Ken Rosenthal working the Red Sox at Dodgers game. I think they might give Joe Davis & John Smoltz this weekend off after the All-Star Game.
DeleteThat would make sense. But because Davis is the Dodgers announcer (and because the media hypes the hell out of the Dodgers even though we know they'll lose in the NLDS again), he'll likely call this game.
DeleteDavis and Smoltz are calling Red Sox vs Dodgers.
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Thank you! Actually, Adam Wainwright is working tonight as the analyst, not John Smoltz. A late change there!
DeleteOh! I guess Smoltz missed the assignment.
DeleteMy predictions for next Saturdays games
ReplyDeleteYankees vs Red Sox- Joe Davis, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal
Mariners vs White Sox- Aaron Goldsmith and Eric Karros
Good choices Mark. I hope someone other than Aaron Goldsmith will be working a Mariners FOX Game. I have Adam Amin, John Smoltz, & Ken Rosenthal working Yankees at Red Sox & Jason Benetti & A.J Pierzynski working Mariners at White Sox
DeleteNice.
DeleteNot sure Mariners at White Sox is even a FOX Game next weekend when the Dodgers are playing the Astros. I also predict that the game will be seen by only 5% of the country.
DeleteTo be honest, I agree. With the White Sox being a complete joke and Yankees-Red Sox being a huge rivalry, there's no way Mariners-White Sox will get seen by a lot of the country.
DeleteExactly right Mark, & with how bad the Mariners are playing right now 9-20 in their last 29 games, very questionable putting this game on FOX instead of Dodgers at Astros
DeleteWow, Goldsmith and Pierzynski again, so excited 😴😴
ReplyDeleteI think we all saw this coming.
DeleteI agree, Rosenthal is gonna be in Chicago? Interesting
DeleteWhy the hell is Rosenthal covering the White Sox over the YANKEES AND RED SOX????!!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same thing.
Delete@Mark T. Mark, I wish I had an answer for you, bro. I really do. This decision makes NO sense to me whatsoever. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS, FOX?! ARE YOU ACTUALLY KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW? I feel really sorry for Ken Rosenthal man because this Mariners-White Sox game (crappy) is going to be a miserable assignment to cover while Yankees-Red Sox (the "better" game and a game that FOX carries basically every time it happens) is happening at the exact same time. THIS MIGHT BE THE WORST DECISION IN MLB ON FOX HISTORY. Bro, I'm snapping and losing my mind over here right now. WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE?
DeleteThe only reason I can think of is because it's the last FOX Game before the trade deadline and the Mariners and White Sox are expecting to be among the biggest buyers and sellers. Maybe Ken knows about a big trade involving one or both of these teams. Otherwise, Ken should absolutely be in Boston for Yankees at Red Sox. But as a Mariners fan, I am happy he will be in Chicago.
Delete@Mark T. & @Desmond1992 Well guys, Ken Rosenthal is going to be in Boston for the Yankees at Red Sox game tomorrow after all.
DeleteGood, as he should be. I think it's very lazy of FOX to just have the same announce team for all of the Mariners FOX Games, just makes me feel like they don't care that much. I am hoping that their September 19th game vs. the Yankees will be a FOX game. Maybe I will finally get my wish of Joe Davis calling a Mariners FOX game in Seattle.
DeleteThank God. I would've been so pissed if Rosenthal actually got the abysmal White Sox over arguably the best rivalry in all of sports.
Delete@Mark T. Yes, Mark! I agree! FOX got it right here with this one. Do not send people to games that don't deserve that particular type of talent.
DeleteMy predictions for next Saturdays games
ReplyDeleteOrioles vs Guardians- Kenny Albert, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal
Rays vs Astros- Jason Benetti and Adam Wainwright
Giants vs Reds- Kevin Kugler and Eric Karros
My predictions
DeleteOrioles at Guardians (Joe Davis, John Smoltz, Ken Rosenthal)
Rays at Astros (Adam Amin, A.J Pierzynski)
Giants at Reds (Jason Benetti, Adam Wainwright)
Good predictions.
DeleteSo they replaced Angels vs Rangers and kept White Sox vs Red Sox. Strange.
DeleteThe Red Sox are currently 57-50 & is position to make a postseason push. I understand why they kept that game on the schedule but Guardians at Dodgers & Yankees at Cubs would have been options in my opinion. I hope Yankees at Mariners on September 19th will be one of the FOX Games that week.
DeleteTrue. I feel like Yankees vs Cubs will be on Sunday night baseball.
DeleteOrioles vs Guardians- Adam Amin, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal
ReplyDeleteGiants vs Reds- Jason Benetti and Mark Sweeney
Rays vs Astros- Kevin Kugler and Eric Karros
@Mark T. Thanks Mark! No Joe Davis for the second straight week (probably the local Dodgers duties winning out or spending time w/family as football season quickly approaches). Mark Sweeney gets a big FOX game. Kevin Kugler is BACK following his summer break. The best game (BAL/CLE) gets the best crew! Good.
DeleteYes indeed. Kenny Albert is calling Olympic water polo for NBC/Peacock.
DeleteMy predictions for Saturday's games
DeleteOrioles vs Guardians- Adam Amin, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal
Cubs vs White Sox- Jason Benetti and AJ Pierzynski
Predictions for next Saturday
ReplyDeleteOrioles at Rays (Jason Benetti, John Smoltz, Ken Rosenthal)
Cubs at White Sox (Adam Amin, A.J Pierzynski, Adam Wainwright)
My predictions for next Saturday
ReplyDeleteOrioles vs Rays- Adam Amin, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal
Cubs vs White Sox- Jason Benetti and AJ Pierzynski
Cubs at White Sox should not be on the FOX schedule this week, it should be replaced with either Guardians at Twins, Mets at Mariners, or Cardinals at Royals in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteExactly. Another matchup could be Phillies vs Diamondbacks (I know the Phillies are struggling right now)
DeleteMy guess is that the FOX games on September 19th will probably be Twins at Guardians and Phillies at Mets.
ReplyDeleteAs a Phillies fan, I hope you're right about Phillies-Mets. I'd love to see the Phillies on FOX, especially if Ken Rosenthal is there.
DeleteWe still don't know the announcers for Orioles-Rays.
ReplyDeleteJason Benetti, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal will call Orioles-Rays.
ReplyDeleteYou beat me to it, Mark. 💪🏿
DeleteAppreciate the sportsmanship James!
DeleteInteresting that Jason Benetti is working the game since he was just in San Francisco last night working his Tigers announcing job for Bally Sports.
ReplyDeleteTbh you make a great point. It seems unfair to have Benetti fly from San Francisco to Florida on such short notice.
DeleteKen Rosenthal wasn't working this week, it was just Benetti and Smoltz working Orioles at Rays.
ReplyDeletePredictions
ReplyDeleteDodgers vs Cardinals- Joe Davis, Adam Wainwright and Ken Rosenthal
Guardians vs Brewers- Adam Amin and Eric Karros
Hey Tamir. Just letting you know that you still have Ken Rosenthal listed as calling Orioles-Rays.
ReplyDeletePredictions for Saturday, August 17th
ReplyDeleteDodgers at Cardinals (Jason Benetti, John Smoltz, Ken Rosenthal)
Guardians at Brewers (Adam Amin, A.J Pierzynski, Adam Wainwright)
Side note: with football season starting in September, I could see Aaron Goldsmith, Jeff Levering, or Wayne Randazzo filling in for the announcers that will be working NFL games.
Glad to see Guardians at Brewers positioned as the Primary game this week, looking forward to Jason Benetti & Adam Wainwright working together for Dodgers at Cardinals. I hope it's Joe Davis working with Smoltz & Rosenthal this week.
ReplyDeleteThat would be ironic if Davis wound up working Guardians-Brewers.
DeleteLooks like it's going to be Jeff Levering & A.J Pierzynski working Guardians at Brewers no Ken Rosenthal by the looks it of either.
DeleteSo which game will be the game FOX showcases? Dodgers-Cardinals has the most distribution but Guardians-Brewers has the better announcers.
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Mark, I was SHOCKED to see the distribution for this week. I thought that Guardians-Brewers was going to be the "primary" game, but apparently FOX changed their minds at the last minute and decided to go with Dodgers-Cardinals as the "primary" game instead. A reason that I assume FOX chose here is the fact that Los Angeles (#2) and St. Louis (#24) are "bigger" markets than Cleveland (#19) and Milwaukee (#38). The Dodgers have more national appeal and more historical playoff success than the Guardians and Brewers, even though that is some BS based off the Dodgers getting knocked out in the Division Series pretty much year since their World Series run back in 2020. Guardians and Brewers is the better game in my opinion, tho.
DeleteGreat point Tamir. Guardians at Brewers should be the primary game this week, both teams are in first place. Maybe Joe Davis & Adam Amin are working preseason football this weekend & that's why they're not working this weekend. They usually have Jeff Levering working as a fill in announcer when the regulars are busy.
DeleteI agree. With both Cleveland and Milwaukee at the top of their divisions, it'd make so much more sense to use that as the primary game. I have a feeling that Ken Rosenthal will be in Milwaukee
DeleteBased on what I read, the primary game is going to be Dodgers at Cardinals, 85 % of the country will have access to that game. Ken Rosenthal isn't listed as working either game but if he is working this weekend, he'll probably be in St. Louis with Jason & Adam.
ReplyDeleteRosenthal is working Dodgers-Cardinals.
ReplyDeleteMy predictions for Thursdays games
ReplyDeletePhillies vs Braves- Joe Davis, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal
Astros vs Orioles- Adam Amin and AJ Pierzynski
What I would like to see for Thursday
DeletePhillies at Braves (Kenny Albert, John Smoltz, Ken Rosenthal)
Astros at Orioles (Jason Benetti, A.J Pierzynski, Adam Wainwright)
I'd really like Albert.
DeleteLooks like he worked the Twins at Padres FS1 Game with Mark Sweeny last night so he probably won't be in Atlanta. I think Jason Benetti will work with Smoltz & Rosenthal for Braves at Phillies.
DeleteWe can rule out Amin as well since he's calling the Bears-Chiefs preseason game.
DeleteSo now that Announcer Schedules might be done for good, how will we find the announcers for tonight's games?
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Yeah, I heard and saw it. That's so unfortunate. Fortunately for us, we have another resource that helps us out with the MLB announcing confirmations. 506 Sports (a forum that I was formerly a part of) has a website in a Wikipedia type style that has all of the announcers.

Thank you Tamir, very helpful. Jason Benetti and John Smoltz are working Phillies at Braves and Kenny Albert, Adam Wainwright, and Ken Rosenthal are in Baltimore for Astros at Orioles.
DeleteKen Rosenthal will be in Baltimore for Astros at Orioles.
ReplyDeleteAstros vs Orioles has Ken Rosenthal
ReplyDeleteConfused as to why Rosenthal didn't call Phillies-Braves last night.
ReplyDeleteI think because both the Astros & Orioles are in first place. I also expected him to be in Atlanta, I would think he's probably going to be in Philadelphia next Saturday for Braves at Phillies.
Delete@Mark T. Bro, that is very confusing indeed. Normally, Rosenthal works the "lead" game with the "lead" crew. Not sure if was logistical issues or not, but that was very strange. Albeit both PHI/ATL and HOU/BAL were good games last night featuring teams in very good positions standings-wise, but Phillies/Braves was the primary game, though.
DeleteYeah that's ridiculous.
DeleteDesmond makes a good point. Astros vs Orioles is a great game, but the Phillies-Braves game had more distribution. But if John Smoltz is there, Ken Rosenthal should be.
DeletePer Rudy Martzke
ReplyDeleteBraves vs Phillies- Brandon Gaudin, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal
Brewers vs Reds- Don Orsillo and AJ Pierzynski
Thank you Mark, Brandon Gaudin worked for FOX before he became the lead announcer for the Braves. Glad to see Don Orsillo working a FOX game, he should be doing the Postseason for TBS, not Bob Costas.
ReplyDeleteMy predictions for next Saturday (Sept 7)
ReplyDeleteTwins vs Royals- Aaron Goldsmith, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal
White Sox vs Red Sox- Jeff Levering and AJ Pierzynski
Good & interesting predictions Mark. You think they'll give Aaron Goldsmith & Jeff Levering some FOX games in September? I hope so, that would be great!!! White Sox at Red Sox should not be a FOX game, it should be replaced with Guardians at Dodgers or Diamondbacks at Astros.
DeleteYeah. I want to see Levering or Goldsmith or Wayne Randazzo on the call of a FOX game.
DeleteActually, I think Levering and Pierzynski will call Angels-Rangers and Brandon Gaudin and Adam Wainwright will call White Sox- Red Sox.

DeleteI like the way you're thinking so let's go with it
DeleteTwins at Royals (Jeff Levering, John Smoltz, Ken Rosenthal)
White Sox at Red Sox (Aaron Goldsmith, A.J Pierzynski)
Did they put the Angels at Rangers game back on the schedule? That doesn't make sense to me at all. If they were going to add a 3rd game it should have been Diamondbacks at Astros or Guardians at Dodgers.
DeleteAgreed. Especially because there's a good chance it won't mean anything for the playoff picture.
DeleteHey Desmond, what are your predictions for the 3 games next weekend?
DeleteTwins at Royals (Don Orsillo, John Smoltz, Ken Rosenthal)
DeleteWhite Sox at Red Sox (Len Kasper, A.J Pierzynski)
Angels at Rangers (Wayne Randazzo, Eric Karros)
Good predictions!

ReplyDeleteAngels vs Rangers won't be on Fox.
ReplyDeleteSo here's my FINAL prediction for next Saturday
ReplyDeleteTwins vs Royals- Jeff Levering, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal
White Sox vs Red Sox- Don Orsillo and AJ Pierzynski
I see they have Phillies at Mets confirmed for Thursday, September 19th. I was hoping the other game would be Yankees at Mariners, but with Seattle pretty much out of the Playoff Race, it will probably end up being Twins at Guardians or Diamondbacks at Brewers.
ReplyDeleteI am with You on that one and It probably end up being Either Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Guardians and or Arizona Diamondbacks and Milwaukee Brewers.
ReplyDeletePer Rudy Martzke
ReplyDeleteWhite Sox vs Red Sox- Don Orsillo AJ Pierzynski and Ken Rosenthal
Twins vs Royals- Cory Provus and Eric Karros
Twins announcer Cory Provus & Eric Karros are working Twins at Royals & Don Orsillo & A.J Pierzynski are working White Sox at Red Sox. Twins at Royals is listed as the primary game, but as of now, Ken Rosenthal will be in Boston for White Sox at Red Sox, but I expect that to change.
ReplyDeleteI really hope FOX put Both Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Guardians and Arizona Diamondbacks and Milwaukee Brewers on FOX on Thursday September 19th along with Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets and Hopefully they get this one By Sometime Next Week.
ReplyDelete@www.rdw1984.com I hope so too, mane. We will find out soon enough tho.
DeleteI agree, the only reason I think they won't is they might not have enough of the FOX announcers available because of football season starting. White Sox at Red Sox should not be on FOX, it should have been Yankees at Cubs, Guardians at Dodgers, or Diamondbacks at Astros
DeleteWhy is Ken Rosenthal calling White Sox vs Red Sox over Twins vs Royals?
ReplyDeleteNvm. He's working in Kansas City after all.
DeleteMy predictions for Thursday
ReplyDeleteRed Sox vs Yankees- Adam Amin, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal
Rays vs Guardians- Kenny Albert and AJ Pierzynski
Great predictions
DeleteRed Sox at Yankees (Jason Benetti, John Smoltz, Ken Rosenthal)
Rays at Guardians (Don Orsillo, A.J Pierzynski)
It's been confirmed from 506 sports that Adam Amin, A.J Pierzynski, & Adam Wainwright will be working Rays at Guardians.
DeleteGood to see they added Diamondbacks at Brewers for September 19th.
ReplyDeleteHow'd you find out about Amin and Wainwright.
ReplyDeleteThanks to Tamir, I used the 506 sports link he posted for the first Thursday FOX games a few weeks ago. They have the announcers listed for the Rays at Guardians game on Thursday night.
Delete@Mark T. The 506 Archive 2024 MLB Season page had that commentator pairing confirmed last night. Normally, FOX doesn't release their announcer assignments until the day of the game. But here, that was not the case at all.

My Predictions MLB Games on FOX on Saturday September 28th: Houston Astros and Cleveland Guardians and New York Mets and Milwaukee Brewers and Kansas City Royals and Atlanta Braves and Possibly Baltimore Orioles and Minnesota Twins so What do you think about Those Predictions?
ReplyDeleteI like it, no reason for FOX not to put all 4 games on the schedule for September 28th.
DeleteI think Royals vs Braves and Mets vs Brewers.
DeleteI'll really like it and Maybe adding Three More MLB Games with Playoff Implications If FOX does do it But It may not happen and We will see.
ReplyDeleteJoe Davis, John Smoltz, & Ken Rosenthal will be working Red Sox at Yankees, from 506 sports archive.
ReplyDeleteGood to see Joe Davis again, but I was hoping Jason Benetti, would get a chance to work a Red Sox at Yankees game on-site.
DeleteSame.
DeletePredictions
ReplyDeletePhillies vs Mets- Jason Benetti, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal
Diamondbacks vs Brewers- Jeff Levering and AJ Pierzynski
I really like Both of these Predictions and My Predictions for Next Saturday Night's Baseball Night in America Games with MLB Playoff Implications is San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks and New York Mets and Milwaukee Brewers and Kansas City Royals and Atlanta Braves.
ReplyDeleteAssuming Joe Davis & Adam Amin are busy with football, my predictions for Thursday
ReplyDeletePhillies at Mets (Jason Benetti, John Smoltz, Ken Rosenthal)
Diamondbacks at Brewers (Brian Anderson, A.J Pierzynski, Adam Wainwright)
DeleteI do agree with You on This One and Your Predictions are Good Ones.
Good Enough Right There.
DeleteIt'd be interesting to have Brian Anderson calling a game for FOX.
DeleteFrom 506 Archive Sports, the announcers for the FOX Games on Thursday
ReplyDeletePhillies at Mets (Jason Benetti, John Smoltz, Ken Rosenthal)
Diamondbacks at Brewers (Adam Amin, A.J Pierzynski)
I'll guess it's all Right and it wasn't really a surprise at all.
DeleteMy predictions for Saturday games
ReplyDeleteMets vs Brewers- Wayne Randazzo, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal
Orioles vs Twins- Cory Provus and AJ Pierzynski
Can't believe the seasons almost over!
I'll Know and That's a Pretty Good Prediction Right There.
DeleteSeason flew by Mark, good predictions. Aaron Goldsmith doesn't officially work for FOX anymore, but I know he's worked the final Saturday's the last 2 seasons so I could see him working Mets at Brewers with Smoltz & Rosenthal.
DeleteMy predictions
Mets at Brewers (Aaron Goldsmith, John Smoltz, Ken Rosenthal)
Orioles at Twins (Cory Provus, A.J Pierzynski, Adam Wainwright)
I'll know.
DeleteIt'd be interesting if Goldsmith called a game on Saturday.
Delete@Mark T. Mark, it would be interesting for sure. The Mariners are practically eliminated from the playoff race at this stage, and FOX definitely needs announcers since most of their regulars (Albert, Davis, Benetti, Kugler, Amin, etc.) are all NFL duty. I can see Wayne Randazzo calling a game for FOX on Saturday since the Angels are eliminated from the playoffs and the Angels can easily find another announcer to fill-in on Saturday (Matt Vasgersian, etc.). And besides, Aaron Goldsmith has called late-season games (September/October) for FOX in the past.
DeleteMatt Vasgersian should still be doing FOX games, he's one of my all-time favorite announcers.
DeleteI'd like to see Wayne Randazzo call a game Saturday.
DeleteI agree Mark, he should. I think Wayne should be the primary game announcer they use for the final FOX Saturday regular season games, like he did in 2021 & last season.
DeleteThat's Right and It would be a Great Idea for Either One of them to do that.
ReplyDeleteMy updated predictions
ReplyDeleteMets at Brewers (Wayne Randazzo, John Smoltz, Ken Rosenthal)
Orioles at Twins (Kevin Brown, A.J Pierzynski, Adam Wainwright)
Yes Wayne Randazzo will be calling Brewers vs Mets
DeleteYes Wayne Randazzo will be on Mets vs Brewers. He confirmed on X
ReplyDeleteFrom 506 Sports Archive: Wayne Randazzo, John Smoltz, & Ken Rosenthal confirmed for Mets at Brewers.
