The Crimson King 3,229 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 On May 5th, the Korean Baseball Organization is scheduled to start their season, ESPN is reported to be close to negotiating the rights to televise here So are you ready for NC Dinos vs. Kiwoon Heroes? Doosan Bears vs. SK Wyverns? Unfortunately, for all you Ssangbangwool Raiders fans, that franchise folded a while ago. This isn't quite as big league as the Japan bigs, but the stadiums mostly exceed 20,000 so AAA level to the Yomiuri and Hanshin offerings then? Some ex-Mets will be playing there. Such luminaries as Chris Flexen, Aaron Altherr and Drew Gagnon signed this year. We've never been to Korea but the Mrs. has been wanting to go there to see some KBO and enjoy some soju (up to 53% alc. vol.). She also wants to go to the DMZ and taunt DPRK soldiers but I don't think they let you do that. So you watching? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rangers9 1,945 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29132165/espn-televise-korea-baseball-organization-games I dvr’d the game last night which started at 1 am eastern time. I put it on this morning there was a rain delay. Btw no fans. And I think they used the players to take off the tarp. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JustEndTheSuffering 1,956 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I’m getting into it. I’m a Yankees fan and I saw the Kia Tigers were compared to them so that’s my team now. We got crushed 11-2 last night but I’m still pumped to get up and watch at 5:30 tomorrow morning. And for those of you wondering how I found the games not on ESPN I was able to stream it through twitch for free. I’ll let you know if I continue to see the same good results. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Philc1 13,629 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I’ll watch anything 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JustEndTheSuffering 1,956 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Twitch still works well although it’s only Korean announcers but if you want to watch a certain team that’s the place to go. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just a chair ump as for KBO, having cheerleaders/mascots without fans in attendance is really weird lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AFJF 43,481 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Always regretted not going to a game in the two years I was in Korea. My Korean co-workers loved them some Chan Ho Park back in the day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
