You guys seem to have a connection with SNY. Can you get a scoop on these ST road games and why they can't be televised? Who decides this? SNY? Mets? MLB? Do teams like the Yankees/Dodgers do it? Is it strictly an issue with the venues unable to support it or SNY just doesnt want to buy & send another production truck? I know normally they split squad games as well. The NFL televises all of its pre-season games. Just seems like lost opportunities. GKR don't have to call every game you could have Gelbs do it or an up and coming person trying their hand at calling games. Anyways figured this could make for an interesting article.
I asked @MetsBooth
"Who decides which games are broadcasted? SNY? Contracts of GKR? Seems like lots of lost opportunities for the fans that want to watch."
"On the TV side, it's really quite simple. They park the production truck in Port St. Lucie. If the game is at home, it's on. If it is away, it isn't. Been that way for years now."
Really interesting on those 6-7 starters that probably has not had a "deep dive" or "unpacked" data on. However, as a old timer my eye balls are spinning a bit lol.
