New York Baseball grades the two baseball networks in town, YES and SNY.

I'll be appearing on Sports Final Radio with Tony Boselli at 7:35 AM EDT on 1010 XL.

Kevin Youkilis just fouled a ball straight back that hit the low home camera and broke the protective glass. They just showed the replay, and the picture goes from clear to gray. Now when they show a shot through the camera you see the spider web of broken glass.

I'll be appearing on the Rob Long show a little after 3 PM EDT. It's on WNST, AM1570 in Baltimore, MD.

Bobby Murcer returned to the broadcast booth tonight after a brain biopsy sidelined him. I'm glad he's well enough to get back, but he looks much older and he's not speaking that well. He's clear, but he's pausing a lot trying to figure out what to say. I'm guessing he has to relearn how to broadcast again. Good for YES that they're giving him the chance.

Update: Now that the game has started, Murcer is doing much better. He sounds more relaxed than during the pre-game standup. The fans chanted his name as they went through the rest of the Yankees lineup. It was a nice gesture.

Due to a conflict, there will be no show tonight. Look for the show to return next week.

MLBAM and Yahoo! reached an agreement to show MLB.TV on Yahoo!, with Yahoo! taking over all advertising next season. From the press release:

Yahoo! Sports will offer MLB.TV to fans in 11 countries, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, UK, Philippines and Germany. The games will be available through a co-branded player on Yahoo! Sports at http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb and MLB.com. During the first year of the deal, Yahoo! and MLBAM will jointly sell advertising for the video inventory, using Yahoo!'s advanced video ad format, Clickable, in addition to traditional pre-roll and post roll formats. For the remaining two years of the agreement, Yahoo! will be solely responsible for selling video advertising inventory for MLB.TV. All of this will be powered by Yahoo!'s industry-leading advertising management platform, AMP! from Yahoo!.

"Yahoo! has been a valuable partner with MLB.com in the past and this agreement represents an important evolution of our relationship with an industry-leading gateway to the Internet," said Kenny Gersh, senior vice president, Business Development, MLBAM. "We are excited to leverage the popularity of watching live baseball games via MLB.TV with Yahoo!'s remarkable distribution portal and its well-established advertising sales capabilities."

Might wider distribution lead to a reduction in price? That would be nice.

A reader complains:

FYI: it's an hour and a half till game time and the link for MLB.TV mosaic still says available March 31. Isn't that today? I can only imagine what a pain it is going to be to download if and when they finally make it available. The server will be jammed for hours as everyone with the service tries to get it running. Just another sign of how much MLB loves the fans. Gotta love it...?

As a programmer, the mantra I live by is that there is no such thing as bug-free software.

You know how American broadcaster take shots of the managers in the dugout between every pitch? NESN is taking the Japanese MTV feed, and they're going to shots of Dice-K in the dugout between every pitch. Remy and Orsillo are ran out of things to say about Matsuzaka about four innings ago, so they're now having some fun with all the angles they're getting in the dugout. I think the broadcaster knows what's going on and is doing it on purpose now.

I've never understood why dugout shots are more interesting than watching the batter, pitcher and catcher set up on the field.

TBS announced their early season Sunday afternoon game of the week schedule.

"For the first time in Turner Sports' 30-year history of MLB coverage we're proud to present an exciting weekly package that showcases some of the top teams and players in baseball," said Jeff Behnke, Turner Sports executive producer. "Every Sunday afternoon for 26 straight weeks fans will find key matchups and marquee names as we follow the dramatic storylines of the regular season leading into our second straight MLB Postseason on TBS."

While the schedule is very NY-Boston heavy, it pits those teams against interesting opponents. For example, the Sunday, May 18th game is Milwaukee at Boston. Nice to see the Brewers recognized as a contender by a network.

I really like the TBS baseball production. Unlike Fox and ESPN, they keep the focus on the game rather than having their announcers pontificate about the latest news story. Some people complain they are too low key, but it's a nice change.

Baseball's future revenue just went up a bit more as the Mariners extend their TV deal through 2020 for $450 million dollars.

The deal is so good neither FSN nor the Mariners want to comment publicly on the amount. But sources in the sports and broadcast industries say the total value is more than $450 million.

The current FSN deal, which was scheduled to expire in 2010, was worth about $300 million, which in 2000 was considered a breathtaking number. The new deal pretty much sucks the rest of the air out of the room.

That should work out to $45 million a year from 2011 through 2020. That over two superstars a season. Once you have two superstars on your team, a good front office will fill in with good role players and keep the team competitive. There's no reason here the Mariners can't be very good for a very long time.
