2009-05-16 Brewers (Suppan) at Cardinals (Wainwright): 12:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 1-0]

[Jofis11ep]

and that right there is why billy needs to be in a platoon.... that strikeout was not pretty

[ttsather]

If Billy is that upset now, he's gonna end up with a sombrero by the time all is said and done. Warm up Mat!

[eanelson4]

That was a naughty word BH said after he struck out there :X

[Diskono]

652 on DirecTV in Madison is dead. If anybody can explain why, I'd like to know. They've had most previous WMLW games on that channel.

[Schlitz001]

Billy knows he's got to hit righties or it's a one way ticket to platoonville.

[TSack27]

So, TSack, are they telling you that the FOX blackout rules apply? And then are you telling DirecTV to have FOX sue Charter for rights infringment?

15 minutes into it and haven't even gotten to that level yet, still trying to convince them Brewers aren't on 668 FSN-N... they don't even seem capable of acknowledging the second class treatment of 669 FSN-Wi (or the existence of the alternate 652 RSNa)

 

EDIT: Another half hour and no progress (caught and documented them in many false statements)... I've got to cool down and wait to compose some rationale thoughts. Should have something very interesting to post in the FSN, FS-Wi and emails with DirecTV thread next week.

 

Thank you shadow fan http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Well, I've got nothing better to do. I'll jump in on DirecTV too. Gameday premium/audio is maybe the best 20 bucks I've spent this year.

[jeffy]

Earlier B&B said Looper is pitching Monday and in the pregame I think they said Yo ws going Wednesday? Did they say who was going Tuesday...are they moving Bush up to Tuesday?

[Gobias Industries]

Gameday had the first two pitches to Robinson pretty much splitting the plate in half. It can be inaccurate, but usually when its on the corners.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Sure like to see Wainwright's pitch count a little higher. The guy is throwing strikes.

[pebadger]

I now have Brewers/Cards on DirecTV 680. Anyone else looking can check that out.

[BrewCrewForever]

Come on Billy, lets get the bat off our shoulder.

[MJLiverock]

Yeah, I am in Madison watching the game on DirecTV channel 680 right now and I don't have MLB Extra Innings or anything. It is the WMLW/FSN broadcast.

And yet when I explained people on cable were able to watch in Eau Claire, DTV claimed that "anyone showing the game was breaking the law"

 

(At least they confirmed I was under no contractual obligation to stay with them)

[dlk9s]

It would be nice if Suppan could get that left corner (inside to lefties, outside to righties) like Wainright is.

[trwi7]

Can we sit Hall against righties? He sucks against them. We have two better options on the bench.

[JCREW]

Soup - 12 GO, 1 FO... That is awesome.

I have the game on WMLW and FS Wisconsin in Milwaukee - Time Warner. I know it's only supposed to be on WMLW though - I just discovered it was on FS Wisconsin when I flipped to that channel out of habit.

[MJLiverock]

The CSR's are usually the least informed people to deal with unless you are just trying to get something ordered or fixed, they have no clue about how the programming works.

For DirecTV customers:

If you are watching MLB network or maybe even one of the RSN's you press the Red Button on your remote and the scoreboard screen comes up with all the current scores and the option to tune directly to each game. If you press, "watch now" on the Brewers/Cards score a list comes up with all the channels showing the game and whether it is HD or not. I think 4 or 5 channels were listed for this game so I had to try a couple before I found the one that was the WMLW feed and not the Cardinals feed which were all blacked out.

Crucial inning for Soup

Strange, I have TWC and they have beach volleyball on FS (the info thing says MLB baseball...but they always have that wrong when the game is on WMLW).

[sdcheezhd]

Gameday audio is screwed up too, can't get TMJ for the 2d straight day. The Cardinal guy they have on now may be the worst announcer I've ever heard.

[BrewCrewForever]

Alright lets go now double play and out of the inning.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

HUGE...Soup is cruising. Keep it up!!!

[BrewCrewForever]

6 scoreless for Soup. Very nice. Braun, Fielder and Cameron coming up, sounds like runs to me.
