Dodgers fans seeking to voice their frustration or confusion over the team’s TV standoff are invited to a rally on Wednesday at 6 p.m. at the Short Stop bar in Echo Park.

Times “Fan of the House” columnist Chris Erskine will host the free event, and has invited fans to voice their concerns or raise questions on the situation.

Among the issues: Is the controversial TV deal, in which 70% of the market cannot view the team’s games on TV, the Dodgers’ fault, or that of Time Warner Cable? What is baseball Commissioner Bud Selig’s role in a business confrontation like this? And how are Dodgers fans feeling toward the new ownership, which up until now had done many positive things for the city and the franchise.

The Short Stop is located at 1455 W. Sunset. Attendees must be 21 or over. For more info, email Erskine: [email protected]
