2010-03-05 Brewers (Gallardo) at A's (Sheets) 2:05 PM CST [Brewers lose, 8-7]

[Mass Haas]

Box score here.

 

Gameday, with limited capability as mentioned in Thursday's game thread, will be here.

 

Webcast audio with Brian and Bill -- it's likely you'll need some sort of MLB audio subscription, perhaps not.

[hawing]

I won't lie. It's terrific to see activity in the IGT forum again. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[PeteP]

Sheeter's getting lit up in the first inning.

[trwi7]

Quick 1-2-3 1st inning for Yo with a strikeout.

[hawing]

Tardy starting lineup:

 

Weeks 2B

Gomez CF

Braun LF

Edmonds RF

Zaun DH

Kottaras C

Escobar SS

Heether 3B

Wilson 1B

 

Yovani avoids having to swing the bat.

 

And Sheets has already reached his pitch limit. See ya, Ben.

[Invader3K]

Nice that the audio is working for this game. Is the volume normally really low though? Very quiet on my computer, even with the volume on the player all the way up.

 

Gallardo with a nice outing...two innings, only one hit allowed!

[uwbufu24]

The volume is extremely low. About half the normal volume for online streaming media. The commercials are normal volume, though. Annoying for listening at work because that means normal computer sounds are amplified to unnatural and startling heights.

[jimmyjeromehardy7]

Yes the volumn is very low. Also have my computer turned up as far as it goes. Except the commercials, those come in nice and loud which isn't good when I'm suppose to be working. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[RobDeer 45]

Love that Yo is looking good. Weeks with another hit too!

[Invader3K]

The other annoying thing about the low volume is that raising up the volume on my computer exposes a lot more of the "artifacts" inherent in streaming media. Ah well, beggars can't be choosers.

 

Interesting tweet from Tom Haudricourt: "Ben Sheets says there was 'zero bad blood' between Brewers and him after his departure. Admitted Doug Melvin was in 'no win situation'".

[hawing]

It's good to know I'm not the only one with low volume, since in that case it's probably not my hearing. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Did anyone catch what Ben's pitch count was? Gameday shows he faced nine batters but I don't see the pitch count.

[hawing]

Separate observation: With the mlb.com feed including commercials today, it's nice to be reminded that Palermo's is "pizzeria perfect." http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[TooLiveBrew]

Surprised you can hear Sheets crying from that far away... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[TooLiveBrew]

Haha! BA is in mid-season form, ribbing Rock...

 

"I thought you had made eye contact with that young man" (talking about the crying baby)

[Invader3K]

Oh geez, hadn't heard the "Fillet o' Fish" song in a while.

[hawing]

Oh geez, hadn't heard the "Fillet o' Fish" song in a while.

Well, it is Lent for many in the audience...

[TooLiveBrew]

Base hit for Go-Go... nice

[brewmann04]

any score sorry can't get any thing here in NY

[TooLiveBrew]

Zaun! w00t!

[TooLiveBrew]

any score sorry can't get any thing here in NY

6-0 Crew

[brewmann04]

thanks they have their hitting shoes on i see good to hear.

[Funketown]

Strange to see Eric Chavez playing again. I had just about forgotten he was still around.

[hawing]

I missed the A's run (it's currently 6-1 Brewers in the 6th). Did Villa give it up? And if so, does that destroy his last remaining shred of a chance with Macha?

 

On a different topic...ooh ooh - Gabe Gross sighting (as much as you can use the word 'sighting' during an audio broadcast).

[trwi7]

Yes Villa gave up the run. Davis doubled then Ellis singled.

[hawing]

Thanks. I now see it updated on Gameday.

 

Ouch for Oeltjen. I hope his HBP doesn't result in injury.
