- 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.

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.
DeleteMy predictions for next Saturdays games
ReplyDeleteYankees vs Astros- Joe Davis, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal
Giants vs Padres- Jason Benetti and AJ Pierzynski

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.

Angels vs Rangers- Adam Amin and Adam Wainwright
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
Dodgers vs Reds- Jason Benetti and AJ Pierzynski
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.
