When they're not tuning in to the games themselves, baseball fans know where to turn for their nightly baseball fix.

The Emmy-winning studio show features highlights, live look-ins and breaking news, plus analysis from a rotating roster that includes former players Eric Byrnes, Al Leiter, Dan Plesac, Billy Ripken and Mike Lowell, and inside information men Tom Verducci, Jon Heyman, Peter Gammons and Ken Rosenthal. Greg Amsinger, Brian Kenny and Matt Vasgersian are among the hosts.

Baby, it might be cold outside, and the springtime sounds of bats hitting balls are months away. What better way for baseball fans to cure the winter blues than to gather around the "Hot Stove" and warm up to the news of the offseason? MLB Network has all the angles covered for all 30 teams, from trades and free agent signings to the juicy rumors that percolate throughout, especially at the annual Winter Meetings in December. A host of former players, including Joe Magrane, Al Leiter, Sean Casey and Dan Plesac, analyze the news, supplemented by insider information from journalists Jon Heyman, Tom Verducci and Peter Gammons, among others.

The title says it all, as any good title should.

Host Brian Kenny discusses the issues and provides analysis, with a bent toward modern analytics to prove his points. The series also features interviews with personalities throughout the game, and viewer opinions are welcome as well via social media polls.

MLB Network's first-ever talk show features some talk and a lot of banter each weekday for hosts Chris Rose and Kevin Millar, who discuss between themselves and with others associated with baseball what's hot and what's not in and around the national pastime. They also run out of the baseline at times when they welcome guests from the worlds of entertainment and pop culture. Rose is well known for batting topics around as the longtime host of Fox Sports' wacky "The Best Damn Sports Show Period," while Millar gained fame as a member of the 2004 world champion Boston Red Sox.

Emanating from Studio 42 -- named in honor of Jackie Robinson -- in MLB Network's Secaucus, N.J., headquarters, this series features the Hall of Fame-worthy interview skills of Bob Costas talking baseball with the legends of the game, Hall of Famers in their own right. Guests including Willie Mays, Bob Feller, Hank Aaron, George Brett, Reggie Jackson and Cal Ripken Jr. have graced the replica baseball field-designed studio set, reminiscing with Costas about their days on the diamond while also discussing current events and issues surrounding the game. Costas has also spent time on the show with broadcasters Al Michaels and Ernie Harwell, entertainer and big-time baseball fan Billy Crystal, and fronted episodes discussing baseball in Cuba and the state of umpiring.

Baseball fans who live for the excitement of the game may find it impossible to keep up with all the great plays when there's a dozen contests going on simultaneously. This signature studio show of MLB Network provides an easy solution to that dilemma. In-studio hosts provide running analysis of all games currently in progress, from the first pitch on the East Coast to the final out in the Pacific Time Zone. If a Cy Young Award candidate is three outs away from tossing a no-hitter, or a Triple Crown candidate steps to the plate in a bases-loaded situation, rest assured of a quick cutaway to the on-field action.

Fun-loving former baseball player Kevin Millar was one of the many memorable "idiots" who helped break the Curse of the Bambino and lead the Boston Red Sox to a World Series championship in 2004. Sportscaster Chris Rose made his mark as the long-running host of Fox Sports Net's "The Best Damn Sports Show Period." This series brings these two opinionated personalities together to cover the hottest topics in Major League Baseball, present up-to-the-minute headlines, and conduct interviews with the biggest stars in the game.
