Saturday Baseball on Fox - April 26th
As they have in the past, Fox is regionally broadcasting three MLB games at 3:30 PM ET Saturday in high definition. However, they might as well only be covering one, since they are delivering the NY Yankees vs. Cleveland Indians to 86% of the country. Arizona vs San Diego and LA Angels vs Detroit will wallow in relative obscurity share the remaining 14%.
As a result of the contract between FOX and MLB, any out-of-market fans of the Diamondbacks, Padres, Angels or Tigers will be blocked from seeing their teams games, even if they have MLB Extra Innings.
And don’t worry out-of-market Yankee fans… you will also get to tune in to your team on Sunday for TBS Baseball.

Are you trying to imply that there are actually people out there who want to watch a team other than the Yanks? Impossible.

Showers and thunderstorms are forecast for Cleveland tomorrow. If the Yankee game is delayed or rained out, expect Fox to send D’Backs-Padres to most of the USA.
Angels-Tigers will be seen in Toledo even though that city is a bigger Indians market.
