MLB Network adds Saturday games

On the eve of its first Thursday night game (Brewers at Giants, 7 tonight), MLB Network announced it also will carry Saturday night games, starting this weekend with Dodgers at Diamondbacks at 8. All of the MLB Network games are subject to blackouts in the home markets of the two teams, so the Orioles-Royals game May 14 will be seen only on MASN here, not MLB Network as in the rest of the country except for the Kansas City market.

IS the MLB Network on Comcast? It's not on my Comcast system in Southern York County, although they did add MASN HD.

-------------------------------

Ray replies: According to the MLB Network Web site, it is available on Comcast in the York area on Channel 280.

Ray:

What is MASN doing? I could care less about the Nationals, so why do I have to search for the Orioles game last night amonst my 400 channels on Comcast to find what channel MASN2 is this week. Its ridiculous that we cannot watch an Orioles game in HD on the primary channel in this marketplace.

------------------------

Ray replies: MASN has continued ot alternate the O's and Nats between the two MASN channels. However, MASN2 always is the same channel on your cable lineup, so you don't have to go searching every time.

Thanks Ray, but even though I live in York County, I don't get the Comcast feed from York, mine comes from Gettysburg, which was a former Adelphia system & Comcast claims is behind the times as far as the system.

About Ray Frager

Ray Frager joined The Baltimore Sun’s sports department in 1985 and has been an assistant sports editor for more than 15 years. This is his second stint writing a sports media column for The Baltimore Sun. Most sequels aren't as good as the original, but then, the original wasn't all that great either.

Frager, born in 1957, grew up in northern Delaware (graduating from a high school that since has shut down) and received his bachelor's degree in journalism from Rider College in Lawrenceville, N.J. He worked as a reporter and copy editor at The Trenton Times and The Dallas Morning News before coming to Baltimore.

Surprisingly, if you look at his accompanying photo, Frager is married and has a son and daughter. He enjoys playing basketball and has organized pickup games among members of The Baltimore Sun staff for many years, which means they don't get too mad at him for shooting way too much.

He has a good beat and is easy to dance to. I'd give him an 85.
