Since they merged they now play games on MLB Homeplate. I preferred it when they did not play games at all on the Homeplate channel. Leave this channel for news, highlights, and talk only. If I want to listen to the game I would go to one of their baseball stations. Because Sirius cannot get the baseball stations, they then put games on the homeplate station to make the XM add on package more enticing to Sirius subs. Hopefully, if Sirius does add the baseball package, the homeplate channel will go back to not playing games.
