I was sort of hoping all the games would be available on ESPN+ or something, but, sure, yeah, go Samsung

Am I the only one that has virtually no interest in watching KBO games?

Just makes me miss White Sox baseball more.  

Any Ex-Sox on these teams?

Saladino is the only one I've seen referenced. 

I can't ever root for a team named the Twins.

White Sox legend Odrisamer Despaigne is on the KT Wiz.

Also important to note I only included teams playing this week because I'm not waiting.

The Lions have some sweet caps, how much is 39,000 won?

Jerry Sands led the league in RBIs last year

I'll go with the Bears...mainly because It at least has a Chicagoan sports moniker.

I'd rather watch KBO games than old games that are being re-aired. I like the exposure to new players.

ESPN Airing a replay now.

hmm...the lions appear to suck. I have watched 5 innings and rate them trash.

This Dinos team OTOH!

I DVR'd the first game and watched it last night.  It was nice to see live sports again, and the game was actually pretty good.  It was funny seeing the empty stands with crowd noise piped in.

I would imagine MLB is observing to see how it goes.

It seemed like a lot of chit-chat with a game on in the background. 

I would have preferred no Karl Ravech

The SK Wyverns have Ricardo Pinto, who pitched in the Sox minors a couple seasons ago as a free agent.

 

Whole thread is worth your time.  

First time seeing the double pitching rubber. The pitchers seem to love it. Very consistent footing. They should consider bringing that to MLB.

Definitely a dinos guy.
