Braves-Phillies marks the advent of FS1's 11th (!!) year of televising MLB games.

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).

Rangers vs Rays- Alex Faust and Tom Verducci
ReplyDelete@Mark T. I appreciate all of your help with this!
DeleteI feel like Ken Rosenthal might work on a game from April 6-April 20. What do you think?
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Mark, you are onto something! Ken Rosenthal is working in Chicago this weekend for FS1, working alongside Kenny Albert & Eric Karros. Makes sense, since FOX's next broadcast isn't scheduled until April 27 (the end of this month).
DeleteYeah, and I have a feeling that he might work on the Rangers-Astros game next week.
DeleteRosenthal was on site for Dodgers-Cubs.
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Thank you man!
DeleteConnor Onion, AJ Pierzynski and Ken Rosenthal are on the call for Rangers-Astros.
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Thanks, Mark. It seems like Connor Onion is going to be used regularly for MLB coverage this year for FS1 (at least), since he received a Diamondbacks-Mariners game a few weeks later (Saturday, Apr. 27) alongside Dontrelle Willis.
DeleteSince plenty of FOX's existing MLB talent -- Joe Davis, Kenny Albert, Jason Benetti will be preoccupied for the first few months due to playoff and/or local team commitments, so FOX needs to expand their play-by-play stable to account for this.
Alex Faust, Eric Karros and Ken Rosenthal are the announcers for Mets-Dodgers.
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Thank you man
DeleteYou're welcome, Tamir.
DeleteTwins vs White Sox- Kevin Kugler and AJ Pierzynski
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Thanks
DeleteAmin and Verducci are calling Tigers-Guardians.
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Thank you!
DeleteDid kugler confirm he was calling Braves-Mets? (Also does that mean he won't call the UFL this week?)
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Yes, Kugler confirmed that he was doing Braves-Mets on Saturday. I'm sorry man that I'm late getting back to you.
DeleteKugler confirmed this via Twitter/X on Wednesday afternoon -- https://twitter.com/kevinkugler/status/1788298333838078214
Kugler mentioned in that tweet he was calling the mid-week Diamondbacks-Reds game plus the Saturday Braves-Mets game.
It's ok. I saw that post a little later.
DeleteJason Benetti and Dontrelle Willis calling Royals-Angels.
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Thanks man!
DeleteWill Kevin Kugler be calling UFL this weekend?
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Mark, Kugler will not be calling a UFL game this weekend. FOX has just one game on Saturday, St. Louis/Birmingham, and Curt Menefee, Joel Klatt & Brock Huard will be calling that game.
DeleteOk. Good to know.
DeleteTom Verducci is working the Braves-Mets game.
ReplyDeleteThe Mariners-Orioles game has been postponed
ReplyDeleteKugler and Verducci are calling tonight's game.
ReplyDeleteWho's calling Orioles-Rays?
ReplyDelete@Mark T. BAL/TB - Kenny Albert, Tom Verducci
Delete5/13: Kevin Kugler and Eric Karros are calling the Angels-Diamondbacks game.
ReplyDeleteReds vs Pirates- Kevin Kugler and Tom Verducci
ReplyDeleteKugler and Karros are the announcers for Guardians-Royals.
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Mark, thank you again for keeping me updated! In fact, Kevin Kugler is gonna be "off the grid" for a while (per Kugler's X/Twitter), so we won't see Kugler on any FOX/FS1 MLB games for a little while following tonight's game.
DeleteYou're welcome. I wonder why?
Delete@Mark T. Mark, Kugler is likely going to be on summer vacation for the next several weeks. In addition to calling games on FS1, Kugler most recently called the Men's College World Series on the radio. So Kugler probably needs some time off.
DeleteThat's a good point. He's been on the road for months.
DeleteToday's Cubs-Brewers game: Kenny Albert and Tom Verducci (remote)
ReplyDeleteToday's Red Sox-Yankees game: Jason Benetti and A.J. Pierzynski
ReplyDeleteRed Sox vs Yankees- Jason Benetti and AJ Pierzynski
ReplyDeleteGuardians vs Tigers- Kenny Albert and Tom Verducci
ReplyDeleteJason Benetti & Tom Verducci are calling the Yankees at Orioles game on FS1. I think they are also on-site in Baltimore.
ReplyDeleteWho's calling NYY-BAL?
ReplyDelete@Mark T. NYY-BAL: Jason Benetti, Tom Verducci
DeleteThanks!
DeleteSince when was there an fs1 game tonight?
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Apparently, it was a late add to the schedule. I didn't plan for this game to be on the schedule whatsoever. But, FOX decided to surprise all of us and just randomly add a Padres-Pirates game to the FS1 schedule.
DeleteHmm.
DeleteAstros vs Red Sox- Alex Faust and Tom Verducci
ReplyDeleteHey Tamir. Just letting you know that the announcers for Astros-Red Sox aren't showing.
ReplyDeleteFaust and Verducci are calling Brewers-Cardinals.
ReplyDeleteTamir, I noticed you haven't put the (remote) next the announcers the last few weeks, does mean that the announcers are working FS1 games on-site again?
ReplyDelete@Desmond1992 Hi, Desmond. From what I understand, the announcers are back to working the FS1 games on-site. They just don't appear on camera tho. But from all indications, they are on-site since it sounds like they are at the stadium, and not calling the game off-monitor (like they had been doing for the past four years).
DeleteKenny Albert and Tom Verducci are calling the Guards-Royals tonight
ReplyDeleteWhy is the Los Angeles Angels and Minnesota Twins Game is on FS1 Tomorrow Night?Los Angeles Angels is not going to the Playoffs so I really don't understand and FS1 really needs to put Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers on FS1 Next Monday Night and Houston Astros and San Diego Padres on there Next Wednesday Evening so Hopefully FS1 also get this one Right.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly. Why not give this to a good game like Rays-Phillies or Orioles-Red Sox?
DeleteJason Benetti and Eric Karros were on the call for tosay.
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Thanks bro as always!
DeleteMy Predictions for MLB Games with Playoff Implications on FS1: Seattle Mariners at Houston Astros and San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday September 23rd and Wednesday September 25th so I really hope that I am wrong and Hopefully My Predictions are Correct.
ReplyDeleteThere was no game on Sept 25.
ReplyDeleteI really was disappointed that FS1 didn't put a Game with MLB Playoff Implications on there But Hopefully Next Year Both FOX and FS1 will able to scheduled Good Matchups.
