KBO on ESPN Schedule for Week of May 11
By Adam Weinrib
While Major League Baseball continues to put forth a proposal for the restart of the 2020 season, there's live baseball action going on overseas to help quench our collective thirst -- and it's been awesome so far.
South Korea's KBO is entering its second week of live broadcasts on ESPN early Tuesday morning, and there's a stacked slate ahead of us.

It all kicks off with the KT Wiz and America's sweethearts the NC Dinos, who blew a monstrous lead and self-immolated in their quest for 5-0 to wrap up last week's action (the Lotte Giants, by the by, are still undefeated, and deserve some more airtime).

In case you're not ready and willing to wake up at the crack of dawn, each game will be replayed at 2:00 pm EST, during the day's thickest lull. Regardless of how MLB's negotiations go, there's a daily treat in the KBO awaiting us all.
