Source: Padres to have 5 Spring Training games telecast on Fox Sports San Diego

by Dex on Feb 24, 2012 11:39 AM PST

According to a secret source, despite lack of confirmation regarding the status of the Padres current television deal, plans are still being made to get Spring Training games broadcast on the upcoming Fox Sports San Diego.

The following dates have been confirmed:

March 17 vs Royals, 7:05PM

March 23 vs Reds, 7:05PM

March 30 vs Giants, 7:05PM

March 31 vs Brewers (ss) 1:05PM, vs Mariners (ss) 7:05PM

April 3 vs Royals 7:05PM (at Petco)

No word on which game of the March 31st double header will be broadcast. Also no word yet if these are the only games that will be telecast, but they're currently the ones confirmed by our source for FS San Diego.

Probably not as many games as Padres fans were hoping to see on the new station, but it's good to get some word that plans are moving forward. Still no word either way on when the TV deal will be approved.

I actually think those are the only GLBers

But, I know of other Padres fans that will be at that March 17 game.

Oh, what a drunken mess that will be.

I'll be at the Reds game. Might go to the game at Petco, too, because April 5 is TOO DAMN FAR AWAY.

I'm not seeing the Pads when I'm in AZ this year

I had to make the decision between completing my tour of all the spring training camps/stadiums or seeing the Pads. I chose the former since there’s the two spring training games in town this year (the one at PETCO and the one in Lake Elsinore) both of which I already have tickets to :) And now I’ll have seen every spring training stadium in Arizona. Maybe next year I’ll do Florida…

DirecTV

Any word yet on when/if we will know about availability on DirecTV?

I too want to know this. It'll determine if I drop Time Warner when I move.

we should set up some kind of referral train

I’m gonna switch to directv if it ever gets announced. The referrals are pretty cool, both the person who got referred and the person who did the referring get $10 off a month for 10 months. You can refer up to 10 people.

I think it’s likely that FS-SD would simulcast a few if they were produced by another FSN. Also, MLB Network usually picks up a few (on tape delay sometimes though). WGN is showing that 3/24 game against the cubs.
