Welcome back, everybody! I hope you enjoyed the baseball offseason. As a side note, I miss putting together these regionalization articles weekly. I was so conditioned to do so during the football season, and ever since January (when the NFL's regular season ended), this blog really has not had much content to put out. However, the blog production is set to pick up starting this week with the arrival of the 2025 MLB season.
Once again, if you would like to read this type of content and if baseball is a sport that you care deeply about, then TamirMoore.com is the place for you as we begin another MLB season together. Every week, we will tackle articles surrounding Fox's regionalization of baseball games on Saturdays (and select Thursdays too in the late summer/early fall timeframe).
This Saturday, March 29, our friends over at Fox Sports will hit the air for the first time this season with live coverage of Major League Baseball. In fact, Saturday's primetime slate (starting at 7:00 PM ET) is the conclusion to what should be a fantastic Saturday of baseball coverage across the Fox Sports family of networks (Fox and FS1).
Fox's Saturday baseball coverage commences at 2:00 PM (ET) over on FS1 as Christian Vǻzquez and the Minnesota Twins participate in an interleague series with Nolan Arenado and the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri. Saturday's contest is the second game of a three-game series between the clubs. Play-by-play announcer Connor Onion and game analyst Tom Verducci will provide commentary.
Then, flip over to Fox for some Saturday primetime baseball at 7:00 PM (ET). Most of the viewing audience will see new Mets acquisition Juan Soto lead his New York Mets into a primetime clash with Jeremy Peña and the reigning American League West champion Houston Astros from Daikin Park in Houston, Texas. 🎙 Play-by-play commentator Joe Davis, analyst and Hall of Famer John Smoltz, and field reporter Ken Rosenthal start their fourth season as Fox's lead MLB commentary team with their assignment of Mets vs. Astros this weekend.
Some of you will be going to San Diego to check out two teams that faced off against each other last year in the MLB playoffs. Michael Harris II and the Atlanta Braves pick up their West Coast road trip at PETCO Park for a Saturday night game against Fernando Tatis Jr. and the San Diego Padres, starting at 7:00 PM (ET) on Saturday night on Fox. Of course, Atlanta and San Diego matched up last season in the National League Wild Card Series, a series that San Diego swept in two games. 🎙 On the call for Saturday's Braves vs. Padres game on Fox will be play-by-play commentator Jason Benetti and analyst AJ Pierzynski.
