A little tip for the out of town DirecTV folks like myself. We've got the Mets out here in LA, but you can catch the game on channel 425 or 624 (Fox Sports Espanol) in Spanish. Beisbol de las Grandes Ligas has the Brewers v. Phillies. You may need the "Sports Pack" to get it, but for those that get FSN-WI, you should have it.

 

We're 1-0 as the Cerveceros...maybe this (and extra day of rest for Manny) will help!!!

I gotta admit this is some handy advice. I'm both an MLB Extra Innings and Sports Pack subscriber. My local Fox is showing Mets/Braves, so I figured I was definitely blacked out. If what you are telling me is true I'll be one happy camper.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I've caught the Cubs a couple times this year in Spanish, so unless Fox has figured out the loophole...we should be good. For those on DISH or Cable, try and search for Fox Sports Espanol. I'm not sure what package it takes to get it, but it's worth a look.

[BuckyBrewer61]

Prediction - Brewers shorten up their strokes against the tough Hamels and the bats wake up. Brewers win, 6-4, split the DH tomorrow and leave Philly up 4 on both the Phils and Stros with 12 to play. All of Milwaukee breathes out.

[pebadger]

GIven the Hall Kendall lineup, I don't think Ned was "Thinking Outside the Bun".

[trwi7]

I'm totally shocked that Hart swung at the first pitch and grounded out right after Fielder walked.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

funny how the strike zone changes between half innings

[trwi7]

Great start. This team is terrible.

[sauveb]

One extra day of rest didn't do much for Parra. He is worse than normal. Parra is a train wreck.

[Mr QL]

So it begins.

 

So how 'bout them Packers?

[pebadger]

Let the beatdown commence. I have no idea where Ricy was throwing that ball. Not that it mattered with Parra getting killed today.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Yeah. Manny seems toasted. I'd guess its about time to put that guy on the shelf.

[DHonks]

We need Yo! Please come back! He'd be like trading for a star

[jjgott]

So far so good. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

[pebadger]

I'd say just issue the IBB, but setting up a DP is one of the worst things this team can do, given its defensive "prowess"

[Mr QL]

At least they won't make us wait this one out. May as well get some stuff done this Saturday.

[JrDave2304]

only 6 hours till the Badgers play....

 

i'm pretty sure i could've hit that pitch he served up to Utley.

[pebadger]

As predicted in the vent thread, the Brewers always save their most embarrassing performances for Saturday on FOX. Other than hoping for the miraclulous, one of the few reasons for sticking around is to see Ned finally blow a gasket, probably when the Brewers finally string two hits together in an inning and have a chance to get back to within 2 runs.

[thablingster]

Maybe there is something to that innings limit cap after all. Manny hasn't looked very good lately.

[pitchleague]

and the inning finally comes to an end.

 

I can't watch but Manny sure sounds like he has a tired arm/no confidence/poor attitude/all of the above today.

[B2k1121]

The Brewers had about a 2% chance of winning a game in this series. They have about 6% chance of winning a game on the roadtrip, and about .75% chance of scoring more than five runs in a game. How about those odds?

[sheethead]

singles for 3 runs? What a crazy model. Bill Hall is one useless hitter.

[trwi7]

It's sort of bad when you feel like eight out of nine hitters are pretty much automatic outs.

[brewers19]

I love you Gameday Mini.
