2010-03-09 Brewers (Suppan) at Cubs (Wells), 2:05 PM CST -- Try out our chat room during the game! [Brewers win, 5-3]

[Mass Haas]

Box score here.

 

MLB audio subscribers can listen in via the webcast (which will archive) here.

 

The Cubs audio broadcast is available for those driving around at AM-720 or XM radio subscribers on channel 186.

 

A Gameday, which mainly allows you to scroll through a "game log" later on, can be found here. By the way, the last couple of days Gameday has kept up batter-by-batter, but not on a pitch-by-pitch basis.

As game time approaches, the Brewers' media notes will be available here. That's where you will learn who else is scheduled to pitch beyond Jeff Suppan, and whether any minor leaguers are up from their camp for the game.

We know posts may be light here during spring training games in particular, and while posts are still welcome, we will be pushing our

 

Spring Training Chat Room

 

during all our In-Game Threads.

 

When you look at the list of all our Forums, you'll see how many are in the chat room at any one time. Schmooze with fellow Brewer fans who are into the team enough that they've made listening to spring training games a part of their day!

Punish! Crush! Scrap! Injure! Win!

Rain delay for 45 minutes.

great chatter right now on the wgn feed on mlb.com . . .

[hawing]

Game's underway now; and MLB.com seems to be trying to make up for the low volume of the broadcast a few days ago. That was a surprise in the earbuds.

 

Edit: 56 degrees in Phoenix / 46 wind chill. (43/39 in Madison). Ouch for Wisconsinite visitors.

So are the webcasts free or not? I was able to log in and listen with no problem on Friday, and the Brewers home page specifically says it's a free webcast, but when I try to log in today it keeps prompting me to subscribe to MLB Audio.

Edit: Just tried again, and it's letting me listen no problem, so apparently the having to subscribe thing was a snafu.

[hawing]

I didn't get the impression that anything was free besides box scores and non-premium Gameday. Maybe Friday's broadcast was a special freebie?

 

On a note related more to this game, guess who's the first Brewers spring training starter to give up a run in 2010? Cold Soup. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

I just edited my original post to say that it's letting me listen now, so it looks like all the webcasts are free, and asking to subscribe was just a mistake.

 

Also, is it wrong of me to want Suppan to get hammered in spring so he possibly wouldn't start the season in the rotation?

A little, but not really. I feel the same way.

Even I am entertaining the possibility of that particular silver lining. 3-0 Cubs. "Suppan giving up some hard-hit balls in the zone" (Brian A.).

I have a feeling it doesn't matter if Suppan gets rocked every time he goes out there. He'll still be in the rotation.

[GoudaBrew]

DLee even owns Suppan in ST games. In 62 career PAs v. Suppan, Lee has hit:

 

.431/.532/.863 (1.395 OPS) with 5 HRs.

Weeks is setting up to start the year off nice.

This is where I'm at, sadly.

While these numbers are insane, I have a feeling there are plenty of mashers that have made a nice living against Suppan. I get a bit bummed thinking about how much Prince would have benefited from Suppan being on a different NL team.

Imagine my pleasant surprise to get back to a computer (I had to leave just before the Brewers began scoring) to find a box score for a Brewers win.

Joe Inglett with the go-ahead dinger in the top of the ninth. That gives him points in my book.

It's good to win the must win games, like this one.
