I had no idea where ALCS Game 3 was on last night

[yk9001]

I forget who started it.  If I had a gun to my head, I guess Brandon.

 

I think I was the first to rip the guy a new one.

[Adam]

I think it was ITP

[Adam]

or The Dude Abides. haha

[the dude abides]

Was it AO?

 

Bingo.

[ten ocho recon scout]

If only we had some sort of handheld device that we could look up information in cases like this .....

TV guide?

[Kevin]

"A go **** yourself" would have been welcomed as well.

[Homebrewer]

On some packages, especially for bars and restaurants...TBS is not where regular TBS would be..

It on ch 5734 or other such nonsense. FS1 changers across platforms on the same providers...It's a freakin nightmare finding these damn channels. 

I hate Fox anyhow...can't wait until their contracts are up, and I don't even remember when that happens.

I'm so confused.

[Blarg]

If you are really into it, it isn't hard at all.  Hell, I could have gotten up, gone across the house, and found it in the morning paper.  I didn't do that either.  NFL was on.  Good enough for me.

 

When they describe the horrid national ratings for the postseason, the fact that normal functioning humans have to go searching for the games, has to play a small part.

 

That is pretty much the point right there. If you want to find an NFL game you have the basic choices and they don't shift them back in forth so not to interrupt The Big Bang Theory reruns. MLB is ****ing up their own franchise by not making it clearly two stations and only two to lock down all the games, one for the NL and one for the AL. 

 

But between college football and the NFL the MLB playoffs (even regular season games) get bumped because they haven't exclusive scheduling rights when the more popular sport is gobbling up all of the sports channels.

 

And that is the real problem, Selig spent too much time ****ing around with the All Star Game and adding the silliest playoff concocted with the play-in game that he forgot that his promotion and stability of the franchise health was more important and they lost TV interest to the NFL that is on the radio 24/7/365 these days while baseball sports talk gets wedged in for 15 minutes of the hour every season.

 

Now, not only do you have to actually work for it to see a game, more people are apt to be switching to football anyway. Good job Bud, you left a legacy for sure.

[Chris]

LOL

 

I have Verizon Fios.  I check 552 TBS 1st, 586 MLB 2nd, 511 Fox 3rd.  If I don't see it there, I start at 570 ESPN work my way up, get stuck on college football replay from like 5 years ago.  Ask myself why I'm watching Penn St - Michigan from 2010.  Make it to 583 watch the ALCS live; it goes to commercial.  Go up to 600 CNN and get stuck on some Trump/Carson/Hillary thing and forget all about sports and never make it back.

Whoa! That's too much work.

At a minimum, have a f*cking sign everywhere:

 

ALCS 2015

Games 1 and 2 on Fox

All others of FS 1

 

That includes the previous series.  On the whoose from replay to live TV on Sunday NFL.

For pete's sake, this isn't rocket science.

[yk9001]

Whoa! That's too much work.

 

Again, maybe my brain is stupid, but at that point my brain thought there wasn't a game monday night.

Now for decades, MLB went with 2 games, an off day, then three games, then an off day, then the last two.

 

But three or four years ago, MLB f'd with these schedules but good (I know the Angels were involved), so I just thought it was an off day.

 

If I REALLY wanted to watch KC-Tor, I would have found a way to find it.  I guess I didn't.

[AngelArcher]

My yahoo sports app is how I find what channel a sporting event is on.

Its alright, its just cuz you're old

[Lou]

I have no idea what station MNF is on

I was being serious. I wouldn't have gotten out of my seat to find out either. I would have flipped around for a while until I found it or until I came across TNT showing Shawshank Redemption. That's where my search would have ended

[ten ocho recon scout]

Angels could be in the playoffs and id almost stop at shawshank too.

[Tank]

YK, i agree with you. MLB needs to make their games abundantly easy to find.
