 |
|
| My buddy and were talking about how STO should show some more of the high school sports or local colleges Kent, Akron and so on. But we also said how it would be nice to see some of the AAA, and AA games so we get a better feel for the guys coming up. Tape the games then show them though out the day. What are our guys thoughts?

| I agree with that completely. I don't know why they wouldn't want to do that. It would only help the future interest in the Indians by people being able to follow their favorite minor leaguers as they ascend through the system. It almost seems too obvious of a thing that S.T.O. should do.

I think that is the direction they will go to and that is a great idea, show the games after the Indians games. Let's see where some of these future stars stand. That would be awesome, hopefully that happens.

| i think it would also help excite the fans when we can see guys like Crow, Miller, Synder and so on a few times a week. Plus i wouldnt mind seeing a St. Ed vs Iggy or Glenville vs Mentor game during HS football season

| That's an excellent idea. I'm not too far from the Aeros, but Buffalo is far away. I would love to see some of the great prospects that they keep talking about.

| lol maybe they don't want to show us the games they would rather just tell us how good they are for 3-4 years. Then if we are lucky we'll get to see them!

STO has done alot to improve their programming but if they truly want to be THE Indians station then I think that's the way to go.

| That would be the sensible way to run the station. By showing the minor league games, it could build interest in all levels of the Indians organization. And it could lead some people who might only be fans of minor league ball to take interest in the parent club so they could follow their favorite player's career in the majors.

yeah I emailed them a year ago when they first started and suggested that idea but so far they haven't done it. I think it still should be an issue that should resolved this year, even if they can't show all of the game just show some of them during the year.

They seem to have expanded quite a bit since they began, so minor league games will probably be somewhere in the future. It just takes time to get that whole thing together. There are certainly enough games being played (of all kinds and levels) that they would never run out of things to air, if they really want to. I'm talking college and high school games too, and not just baseball.

| If they show the Minor League games then the fans would see how good some of the players are and wonder even more why Shapiro and Wedge still have them playing in the Minors while we watch some washed up players doing nothing in Cleveland.
