MLB Network Will Show 11 Pirates Spring Training Games

Published:

MLB Network released their schedule of Spring Training games on Tuesday night. The Pittsburgh Pirates have a total of 11 games scheduled to be broadcast. Just two of those games will be shown live. The first game will be the February 23rd spring opener at the Phillies.

I’ve included the schedule below for easy reference. Many of the games are on in the early morning, so some DVR skills will be required. One interesting note is that both games from March 23rd with be shown on tape delay. Some of these games will be on ATT Sportsnet (likely all of the home games), so local fans will be able to watch them live. Those outside the area will want to save this chart below for reference.

2/24 @ Phillies 6:00 AM (replay from 2/23)

3/8 vs Orioles 3:00 AM (replay from 3/7)

3/10 vs Twins 9:00 AM (replay from 3/9)

3/12 vs Twins 1:00 PM LIVE (also replayed at 3:00 AM on 3/13)

3/14 vs Phillies 11:00 PM (tape delayed from 1:05 PM. Will also be shown at 6:00 AM on 3/15)

3/16 vs Rays 3:00 AM (replay from 3/15)

3/19 vs Tigers 1:00 PM LIVE

3/21 vs Orioles 4:00 PM (tape delayed from 1:00 PM)

3/22 @ Rays 4:00 PM (tape delayed from 1:00 PM)

3/23 @ Red Sox 4:00 PM (tape delayed from 1:00 PM)

3/24 vs Phillies 6:00 AM (replay from 3/23)

When ATT Sportsnet officially releases their schedule, it should add two more games for fans, which I believe will be March 8th vs Blue Jays and March 17th vs Red Sox. ESPN is also showing the March 6th game against the Red Sox. That will give fans a total of at least 14 games this spring on TV. More games could be added to the MLB Network schedule. We will post an update once the ATT Sportsnet schedule is officially announced.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
