7/20/08 Brewers (Parra) at Giants (Lincecum): 3:05 CDT

Padres have a run in and guys on first and third with one out in the top of the 9th - Go Padres!

Why did that top five MLB strikeout graphic show AJ Burnett in a TB Rays hat?

Yeah I noticed that as well. It wasn't even Burnett. It was some guy on the Rays, not sure who though.

 

[BrewCrewForever]

Nice AB JJ, make em pay Braun.

[bucks2281]

87 pitches for Lincecum so far. I like where this game is going.

[endaround]

Best part? Rock thinks he plays for Tampa and so they are talking about how the Rays are still in it! And of course Burnett already signed his FA contract that he might opt out of, but hey its not like Brian and Bill get paid 6 figures to talk baseball or anything

[trwi7]

Guess Braun didn't learn much at the all-star game from other players. He still swings at the same junk.

[BrewCrewForever]

Awful pitch to swing that there. Braun is a very good player, but he has to lay off some of the pitches he swings at to be a great player.

How can they not know that Burnett plays for the Blue Jays? That is down right funny.

 

[Ranier]

Is the game on in Milwaukee? I have Extra innings and it's not on today....sucks!

[jhart05]

GO PADRES!!!!

[bucks2281]

Yeah the lack of knowledge is ridiculous. Burnett faced the Brewers last month....and the game was on TV.

[sdcheezhd]

Maybe the Padres and Cardinals can go 22 today.

Or maybe the Cards will get a walk-off GS.

You mean the Brewer game? Yeah it's on FSN.

If you mean Cards-Pads, I don't know.

 

[Ranier]

Yeah the Brewer game. It doesn't make any sense that it's not on Extra Innings today.

[crewcrazy]

The ESPN Sunday Night Baseball blackout rule for out-of-market games was pushed ahead a couple hours due to the Sunday Night game airing a couple hours earlier tonight, because ESPN is showing the ESPYs afterwards. Usually the game would be available on EI with a game starting at 3, but unfortunately for Brewer fans outside the FSN-WI market that's when the blackout started today.

[bucks2281]

EI can't broadcast it because ESPN's Sunday Night Rule comes into effect at 5 pm. I think it's interesting that they let local broadcasts air, though.

[Trowekamp]

So much for taking advantage of Lincecum's pitch count that inning.

[Ranier]

Thanks, I know the blackout rule is normally any game that starts after 5:00 Eastern. Thanks for the heads up about today's change in times. Still sucks though.

[BrewCrewForever]

So I would assume tomorrow's game that is on ESPN will be blacked out?

[Brewcrewin07]

Unreal...Aaron Miles of all people with a walk off grand slam to sweep 4 from the Padres. I guess the good news is, they are due to start losing.

[marquettefan13]

I think it will be in WI b/c of the FSN broadcast which is disappointing to me - I'd rather watch the ESPN broadcast.

Yeah that sucks, just because as a Charter subscriber we don't get FSN in HD till next month and tomorrow's game is in HD on ESPN so I would rather watch it on there.

 

[Trowekamp]

Hey Cubs fans.. just in case you were wondering Parra is our #3 starter not our ace.. this year at least.

[hurricanecrush]

As bad as Braun has looked in this AB, I still predict he is going yard.

 

Edit: Told ya!
