Spring Training on TV

[Anthony Abruzzese]

When Orsillo returned for the 6th inning, the during the voice over they
showed showed the tropical looking MLB "Spring Training" logo on which both
Arizona and Florida are mentioned. Was this a MLB network game, as well?
Also, production on both games seems to have been done by the other teams TV
crews. Last Friday's graphics were definitely a Pirates package (colors,
etc.) and last nights game was a Fox production Score bug
Intro-outro music, with the Fox graphics.

I am assuming that NESN is partnering with some of these teams for
production so that they can bring more games without having to compromise on
Bruins coverage back home, as well as save some money.  It would be a
smaller investment in trying to stir up interest in the '13 Sox to partner
in some games than house a full blown production crew in Florida for a few
extra games.  The agreements would be the similar to most of the TV coverage
of the PawSox away games , where NESN picks up the local feed for the home
team.

They did it last Friday as well with the Pittsburgh Pirates broadcast team.
