Game Thread #-5: Brewers (18-9-3) at Padres (8-18)

PrintBoth teams won yesterday, so the Brewers are still just a half game ahead of the Braves for the best NL record in exhibition play. Both teams play again tonight, so you'll have to forgive the Brewers if they're doing a little scoreboard watching.
Tonight, the Brewers hit the road to take on the Cactus League's worst team, the 8-18 Padres, who are a full game and a half worse than the 11-18 Diamondbacks.
For the Brewers, Braden Looper will make his second start of the spring, and with a good performance tonight he could bring his 22.50 ERA back into single digits.
For the Padres, tonight's starter depends on who you believe: Padres.com says it's Shawn Hill, who would be making his third start since being released by the Nationals. He's pitched four innings as a Padre and allowed two earned runs.
If you believe the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, tonight's starter is Walter Silva, who is getting a tryout this spring after an impressive winter ball performance in Mexico. It would be his third appearance and second start, and he's allowed just one earned run in six innings.
Now that I've mentioned them both, tonight's starter will probably be someone else, but whoever it is, if the Padres are willing to put him on the Brewers' bus back to Maryvale, they can keep Tony Gwynn Jr.
Game time is at 9:05 tonight, and it's on FS Wisconsin and WTMJ.
Tuesday's late-night game thread is now open.

I believe it is also on MLB TV
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
I mean the baseball channel on TV not on the Computer
man I need a beer I cannot think straight sober
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
Blacked out on MLB channel
Anyone with Directv find the game anywhere?

Available on mlb.tv, too
Not as pretty as the split-second of HD I saw before the blackout kicked in

Audio as bad?
It’s pretty horrible on MLBN on TWC at least. Ahead a few seconds, at least the speakers are now in sync.
Yeah, and they're using the Padres telecast

Nice
I was watching the PSU hoops game and I flipped over to MLB TV and see the Crew is on!
September 15: Not a bad little Monday
Two guys who know how to play the game the right way
David Eckstein to Craig Counsell.
The announcers are impressed by the grit before them.

I was hoping for better out of Looper tonight
He’s not looking very sharp

lol damn I missed this during the offseason

Cameron allows the runner to advance to 2nd on his throw to the plate
Let’s hope that doesn’t happen during the season

I swear I know more about DTV works than this girl I am talking to
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
The word?
I was planning to take in a few innings of this game on DTV as well…how is she trying to explain it not being on? It’s definitely nice to have the game blacked out on MLB Network and then not get the local feed either lol!
They really do not have a clue
all they keep telling me is it is blacked out
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
Excruciating
…and, of course, you’re thinking “it can’t be blacked out, it’s my local game.” Bleh! Anyway, since I’m posting here, I may as well mention I’m glad to see the Casey McGehee made the team. I thought he might turn out to be a good pick up for the Crew back when they claimed him.
I am surpised I can get the MLB.tv in the Milwaukee region
Usually it is blacked out
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
I was away from the computer did he get hit by a pitch?
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
Line out E7
Looks like he might have lost it in the lights and appeared to jam him in the non-glove hand.
We should check make sure it is not Sheets wearing an 8 jersey

Looper looks really off
I hope he’s not this bad

is it just my tv
or do other people have issue seeing the top portion of the score box? it’s cut off a bit
I untuck my shirt!
its not just your tv
mine is a little cut off too
"my goodness"

I can see it fine
I’m watching FSN on Time Warner.

I love this "triple-hopped" horseshit
If people who enjoy Miller Lite ever tasted a hoppy beer, they’d spit it out. Lite may be triple-hopped, but it’s about one hop cone at a time.
jeff: but i shudder to think of the bullpen analogy to sending the runner
beer is naturally tripple hopped anyways
aroma, bitttering, and and i’m forgetting the third….
I untuck my shirt!
I am really starting to hate DTV
Anyone have Uverse is it any good?
The DTV supervisor did not even know they had a FSN-WI
At that point I just gave up
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
Hell with this
I am going to go watch a DVD at least that will work unlike my DTV

Diamondbacks have 142 HD games this year
Must be nice to follow a team that’s interested in improving the fan experience.*
- Still bitter about the Miller Park scoreboard. And now this lame HD schedule.

I wouldn't mind following a team with Justin Upton, either
jeff: but i shudder to think of the bullpen analogy to sending the runner
I'll be following Upton this year
Managed to snap him up for my fantasy team.

It was supposed to be last year
Then they deferred it to build the bigger fan store behind home plate. And then this year they were so busy selling record numbers of tickets that they plumb forgot.
by Marty McSuperFly on Mar 31, 2009 9:51 PM CDT up reply actions
New store is nice, but completely unnecessary. I visited it after trading in my fan appreciation tickets. It’s god a much better flow, and better lay out. But seems like the could have just moved shit around in the old.
Best part, on their TVs, they were showing ESPNHD and not MLB. Apparently they don’t get MLBN
What makes you say that?
I saw Attanasio and Schlesinger both going on about it last year, and the impact on team revenues.
Hmmm…however, I just took a look back at my credit card records, and the charges actually go to Sportservice. So, it is operated by someone else, even as it’s pouring money into the team’s pockets.
by Marty McSuperFly on Mar 31, 2009 10:00 PM CDT up reply actions
Their badges have sportsservice on them (God I hate them so). They had some very nice (and very expensive) new product. So I assume the Brewers are trying to get larger profit margins and help the team.
Ohh and they have a game used CC Jersey for 1K. Jerks want 75 for game worn Gross BP Jerseys (I’ve already got the normal blue game worn). Honestly, who wants Gross jerseys besides me?
I wonder how much each HD game costs in additional production
And whether we can get Suppan to pick up the tab for a few.
jeff: but i shudder to think of the bullpen analogy to sending the runner
Might as well,
He’s stolen $42 million from the Brewers……
Swing and a drive, left center and deep, get up.....get outta here gone, for Ryan Braun - What a shot by Braun, and the Brewers have the lead.... - Bob Uecker bottom of the 8th, Game 162 - 2008
True, but he could have been decent
and stolen it from the Cubs, or Yankees, or someone that could swallow that kind of contract.

Salome would have caught that one

did you guys know that shawn hill used to be a national!
anderson makes sure we know all the time
I untuck my shirt!
And he almost killed Eckstein right there
jeff: but i shudder to think of the bullpen analogy to sending the runner
Nice
He did a good job of waiting for the ball to get into the hitting zone, and then took a nice short stroke and didn’t try to do too much with it.

For whatever it's worth
BCB needs to draw about 1300 visitors in the next four hours to make March ‘09 the biggest month in BCB history. So I’m just rooting for an exciting game. :-)

Tomorrow 39 on the line will be all about how Josh spent 12 hours today making phone calls to GM’s to generate interest.

I’ve been pimping the site to all of my friends, huge Brewers fans, and some knowledgable baseball guys, (much more than myself).
Trying to get the word out for you!

Never looked at Brian Giles' stat line before
that guy is an OBP machine.
"one of the biggest prospects in all of baseball"
Literally.
Come on Brian.

X-Rays negative for Braun
Commence sigh of relief…now.

It's about time for a good hit
Also, maybe the rally lobster?

Man, I'm jealous
"If loving CC is wrong I do not want to be right"
"If lovin’ Braun is wrong, I want to be a repeat offender"
Zelous Wheeler seems like a guy who would be at a high risk
For trying to do too much with it.
