That means there is no national or local coverage for any of these games on traditional television outlets, such as Fox Sports Midwest for the Cardinals. That was the case on April 11, when Facebook’s streamed a Cards-Brewers contest, which was the first time since April 2008 that a Redbirds game wasn’t on television.
This time, the interest locally is much higher as Reyes has been dominant on the comeback trail. He had 16 scoreless innings over three appearances for Palm Beach, Peoria and Springfield, in which he had 31 strikeouts. Then his final rehab outing came for Triple A Memphis and he allowed just one hit and fanned 13 Oklahoma City hitters — including nine in a row at one point — in seven innings of work.
