Before we get to your questions, here’s a quick programming reminder for college softball and baseball fans: The NCAA Softball Regionals start today at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and ESPNU, with two of what could be 97 games played between now and June 5 (see complete schedule). NCAA Baseball Conference Championship Games start Sunday at 2 p.m. on ESPN3 with the Southwestern Athletic Conference Championship (see complete schedule).

And now onto your questions . . .

Is ESPN showing Monday Night Baseball and Wednesday Night Baseball games at the end of May? Also, it appears there are no Sunday Night Baseball games scheduled for the end of July. — Molly
No worries Molly, ESPN’s Monday and Wednesday night games are chosen one week ahead of time. Sunday night game selections for the month of June, July 7 and July 28 will be made three weeks in advance. In addition, August and September game selections will be made two weeks in advance.

Schedule reminder: This week, Sunday Night Baseball features 2012 American League Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera and his Detroit Tigers visiting the Texas Rangers (8 p.m., ESPN/WatchESPN.) Next week, Monday Night Baseball and Wednesday Night Baseball will feature the New York Yankees visiting the Baltimore Orioles (7 p.m. each night, ESPN/WatchESPN).
