While I was posting, apparently Cody Scarpetta got himself sent to the minor league camp. Not surprising anyone, really, he was primarily on the 40-man due to contract weirdness. He’ll be at Class A Brevard County this year.
Don't be surprised if he only spends half the season or so there
Because he’s been on the 40 man for a while now, this is his second option. He’ll probably qualify for four options, but even so, that means he needs to make the team in three years…and he’s never pitched above Low A.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
So...
Gameday Audio isn’t showing a WTMJ feed…
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
I tried backing in, by choosing another game and clicking over
But it’s not clickable. FAIL.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
I got the game on WTMJ.

I'm too far from Milwaukee for that.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
My AM radio is at home
I live in the NW surburbs of Chicago and until we moved into an enclosed high rise I was able to pull in WTMJ. I’m at work, though, and without my AM radio. :(
It took me 4 hours to find an AM radio. Anyone want to guess where I checked and then where I finally found one?
Do you have an emergency kit somewhere?
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
The actual station?
Sadly, I’m at the completely other end of the state and as far as I know, the ST games aren’t carried on the rest of the Brewers broadcast affiliates.
Ooops, I forgot Kyle.

WTMJ.com is blacked out, since the game should be on Gameday Audio.
IIRC, this is the third WTMJ broadcast of 2010 and the third with technical issues.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Kottaras and Heether in today, cool.

On a not-so-related note, the Maryvale sound guy really likes Creed. They’ve been played two or three times.

I'm not sure I even own a radio.
Unless I go sit in my car for the next three hours.

I got a little battery powered baby boom box. Picks up AM real good, surprising.

Yeah
I paid for Gameday Audio so I wouldn’t need to worry about it.

I can imagine your frustration then. I love day games, makes the last few hours of work go by quick.

I have a windup AM-FM radio
It rocks. Just wind it up and go. It also has solar panels. the problem is, other than not living in the WTMJ broadcast area, is that the St. Croix valley is usually covered in clouds for most of March.
I bought one of these for my wife.
The boy will take it in the other room, and every 15 minutes you hear “Wrrr, Wrrr, Wrrr, Wrr,”
(from the radio not the boy.)

won mine as a prize from work
There was a raffle for anyone working the Y2K overnight duty. They gave out survival-themed prizes (emergency kits, windup and solar-powered electronics, etc.)
I bought a windup phone charger a few years ago and that also works better than I had expected it to.
I just found our windup emergency radio.
Which, of course, my wife had filed away in the back of a closet, where it’d be handy in case of emergency.
It doesn’t pick up WTMJ from here.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
You should be able to get one of the FM stations up there, no?
Yeah, well, sometimes I drink.

Pretty sure these spring games are WTMJ only, not the network.

Duh. I'm not smart.

I'm listening on 93.9 FM WDOR
up here in Green Bay.
sadly, not there either
WEVR in River Falls is playing an instrumental version of some Elton John song. However, it’s coming in crystal-clear so I’m not going to try to tune something else, so I can at least listen to Saturday day games when the season rolls around.
edited thread post
for thinkos and Gameday links (yeah, no audio, especially if you give a darn about the Reds game, because there’s nothing from that end at all)
Is there no audio at all?
For either game? The At Bat App is telling neither game has audio.

There's supposed to be WTMJ
But MLB.com doesn’t have it listed.

thanks, Milwaukee area folks
For keeping us informed.
Meanwhile, back over in the Reds game for those who can’t load Gameday at work, 0-0 after 1, no hits, but Narveson walked Orlando Cabrera.
Brewers.com
Even says we should be able to listen live, but the link takes me to the broad media page with no audio option.
BCB, the preferred above replacement level sarcasm supplier.
I sent a message to support to ask about it.
Gotten an auto-response, nothing else.

Yeah
Same here, maybe if we flood them with complaints they’ll get the picture.

You're assuming that someone is actually paying attention.
My guess is that during ST, they may not be as responsive.
No.
Their support is all but non-existent. The automated response is the best you’ll get. Maybe you’ll get a rote apology tomorrow and an explanation that they don’t guarantee all radio feeds. When I go to the support threads I get the following helpful message:
The MLB.com account that you are currently logged in with does not have an active subscription to the product that this forum supports.
Riiiiiight. Screw you MLB.com. Screw you.
What a tease
I just clicked on the link on brewers.com to see if anything works yet. It took me to the media page I described above. This time it let me click on the audio tab under the boxscore on the right side and a wtmj link actually shows up…but when I click it the page just resets.

apparently Dallas Braden can take a walk
Only good news for the A’s for half a month out of the year, though. In other news, Randy Wolf walked the pitcher.

Subpar Definition?
I think it’s pretty accurate :)
Cards Announcers On Gamel's First Career HR, "That’s all they need is another home run hitter".
Bottom of 4th at Reds
Capuano in for Narveson. In top of inning, McGehee was thrown out at 2nd stretching single into double, ending the top of the 4th.
lets see if cappy can elbow his way through this inning...

This inning at maryvale
Is nothing but a string of mistakes. We look like little leaguers. Loe us pitching. 2 runs so far
by ewizabeff on Mar 11, 2010 3:09 PM CST via mobile reply actions
But ends with a brilliant play by Escobar
by ewizabeff on Mar 11, 2010 3:10 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
oh, you're AT Maryvale
Thanks for the livest of liveblogs!
Susan Slusser just tweeted that Loe had 2 WP this inning. Well, dude is certainly living up to his number out there. ><
Yup
Finally a nice day in Arizona.
by ewizabeff on Mar 11, 2010 3:12 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
top of 5th at Reds
Bottom of 4th OK, no runs, Cappy walked Cabrera and gave up a single to Gomes. 2 strikeouts.
Masset still pitching for Reds.
oops, P change
Daniel Ray Herrera in for Masset. Only in ST do the situational lefties get entire innings, I guess, but he does work for Dusty Baker.
Fielder K, Gomez 3U, Kattaras sharp liner into right
Submarine RHP in for A’s
by ewizabeff on Mar 11, 2010 3:15 PM CST via mobile reply actions
Sounds right.
I know it started with a Z. Stupid a’s don’t have names in their jerseys.
by ewizabeff on Mar 11, 2010 3:21 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Gameday says it's Ziegler
He’s the only submarine pitcher I know of on the team, too. ;)
I really hate that the A’s don’t put names on their BP jerseys—actually, a lot of the guys in BP wear shirts w/o numbers. I had so many problems trying to take pictures for friends when the A’s were in Minnesota for a game last year. I had to ask random A’s fans in the crowd if they could recognize the players.
If they stick a tall, skinny LHP in today, it’s Jerry Blevins (but he pitched the other day, so I doubt it.) If it’s a short LHP with big ears, it’s Craig Breslow. The rest of the RP, I don’t know.
Hart?
He wasn’t wearing them yesterday. Haven’t seen him today.
by ewizabeff on Mar 11, 2010 3:17 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
He's in Goodyear today in the other game.
How long does it take to get those goggles? It’s been over a week now since he got fitted for them.
Clearly, the pitcher is not a Heethen.

Foul ball hits a fan.
When will ppl start paying attention? (as I type this on my phone)
by ewizabeff on Mar 11, 2010 3:22 PM CST via mobile reply actions
Was it a liner or pop up?
If it was a liner, I don’t think paying attention would make much difference.
Soft, low pop.
Totally catchable.
by ewizabeff on Mar 11, 2010 3:25 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Bottom of 5th at Reds
Cappy still in there (he K’d in top of 5th) Single for Treanor in top, no runs. STILL 0-0
Stern legs out a single.
Loe is batting.
by ewizabeff on Mar 11, 2010 3:30 PM CST via mobile reply actions
My mom thinks that Mark Ellis looks like Craig Counsell. Wrong? Right? I maintain that the only accurate Counsell Clone in MLB is Jed Lowrie.
as for Lowrie...
it’s more of a similarity when batting L and fielding. They have similar playing styles.
1-0 Reds, top of 6th
Nix walked, scored on a triple by Dickerson in 5th. Jared Burton in for Herrera at top of 6th.
Braun misplayed that
Had to double back after the bounce.
by ewizabeff on Mar 11, 2010 3:41 PM CST via mobile reply actions
Loe get out of the sixtxh
With no damage. Sausage race time!
by ewizabeff on Mar 11, 2010 3:44 PM CST via mobile reply actions
Top of 6th at Reds
Gerut singles, Cain pinch runs for him. Inglett bunts him to 2nd, he advances to 3rd on error, scores on double play. 1-1, end of the top.
Prince ran hard to get a double.
And actually accepted the pinch runner this time.
by ewizabeff on Mar 11, 2010 3:50 PM CST via mobile reply actions
Kattaras strikes out looking
Would be great if we had a catcher who could contribute on offense.

Top of 7th at Reds
6th: Votto hit a homer off of Cappy. Villanueva now in for Brewers. Del Rosario in for Reds.
3-1 Reds in the 8th
Mark Rogers gave up a run. Looks like they sent the bumblebee squad to Goodyear today—it’s a miracle that they fly at all.
Late to the games
Was that Kentrail Davis’ first at-bat in the Milwaukee Brewers organization?
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
Yeah, I think that was his professional debut
He signed so late after the Brewers drafted him last year that he hasn’t spent any time in the minors yet.
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
Gotta love Ueck

I left work early today and caught part of the game on WTMJ.
Ueck had already lost interest in the game. He was rambling on about batting gloves and helmets for like 20 minutes… not sure what his point was by the commercial break.
