Phillies will be a regular on Sunday Night Baseball

If you’re a fan of Phillies games being broadcasted on national TV, there’s good news for you. If not, you’ll have to dial in the Scott Franzke audio overlay hack at least a few times this year.

ESPN announced on Wednesday its early-season Sunday Night Baseball slate, and the Phillies are among the regulars. They’ll play SNB three times through July 6: April 27 at the Cubs, May 11 at the Guardians, June 22 at home against the Mets.

The Phillies’ three Sunday Night Baseball appearances is tied with the Padres for third-most in baseball, with the Mets and Dodgers, understandably, appearing four times apiece.

Sunday Night Baseball matchups for the rest of the season thereafter are yet to be announced. The Phillies host the Braves on Aug. 31, which feels like a candidate to earn another primetime slot, assuming the National League East race between those teams is somewhat competitive at that point in the season. Philadelphia made four appearances on Sunday Night Baseball last season, including two in September against division rivals.

They went 2-2 in those four, for whatever it’s worth.
