It's hard to guess

Because I often lose track of when ESPN or TBS is making room in their midweek schedule for baseball. The real wild card is Strasburg, who draws coverage. If Harper gets called up, that’s going to draw coverage too. I still would only guess one or two Fox games, two or three ESPN games and a half dozen on TBS. But that’s completely off the top of my head, so should not be used for planning purposes :-)

I think two or three ESPN games is generous

They’ve only been on ESPN for their first game ever, the first game in Nats park, and Strasburg’s debut. Thats only 3 for 6 seasons….

I'm guessing a game with Strasburg pitching, a game after Harper gets called up (whether that's in April, June or September)

And maybe one other somewhere along the ride. I don’t think that’s going out on a limb.

I'd Say At Least 12-15......

Depending on how many games it takes the Nats to win the Divisional Wild Card Series, NLCS, and World Series…..we know those will be nationally televised. Probably not many during the season, as they won’t be taken seriously yet….but as the season progresses, they will be picked up a lot I would imagine. Folks will want to see Zimmerman, Fielder, Reyes, Werth and Co., as well as StrasBORG and Co. pitch….not to mention if “the Kid” happens to make an appearance during the year.
