Clayton Mortensen

1-0 | 2.01

Mortensen earned his first win of the season with a solid outing against the Giants on Monday, when he allowed four runs on seven hits over six innings. The right-hander, who started the season in Triple-A, has never faced the Brewers.

Shaun Marcum

5-1 | 2.54

Mixing speeds on his changeup to keep the Dodgers off-balance, Marcum threw seven solid innings Monday, giving up just one run on five hits, while walking only one and striking out four to win his fifth straight decision.

No TV tonight, but for out-of-towners, some hope!

 

Feel free to follow me while you're at the twitter link.

If you go to the game tonight give a nice hand to my 87 y/o grandma as she throws out the first pitch. I'll be down on the field in my Plush tshirt.

If I may, I'd like to make a plea to my fellow brewerfan.netters... Can we have one IGT without any negativity, pessimism, whining, or knee-jerk reactions? Those who do not like Carlos Gomez have already made their feelings known. Must I read about it multiple times in every IGT? The pessimism is annoying too. As yesterday's game showed, it ain't over til it's over.

You mean this isn't the daily vent thread?

[Invader3K]

I don't understand why this game isn't on TV tonight. Seems like an odd scheduling decision.

[paul253]

Yeah I couldn't believe it myself. When is the last time a Saturday night game has not been on TV?

[endaround]

Fox has blackout rights. They get a clear window for their national game.

[razzzorsharp]

So is this all games at 6:05 on Saturdays throughout the year that will be blacked out?

Well when Fox has the night game that day.

[Vgmastr]

Fox has three primetime Saturdays this season. Last week, today, and next week. Any night games those three weeks are not allowed to be televised. The Brewers moved last week's and next week's games to the afternoon so they could televise them. No idea why they didn't move this one too, but FSN's hands are tied, since the Brewers didn't move it, they can't air it.

[ilovebeer]

Marcum is my favorite Brewer player. I hope he gets a nod to the all star game. Tonight game is sro.

[pretendastronaut]

I haven't seen the full Rockies lineup for tonight, but according to espn.com Gonzalez and Helton are still sitting out tonight.

[pebadger]

I don't blame the Brewers for not moving the game up to this afternoon, given the team's schedule the past couple of days.

 

I can tell FOX that since they won't let me watch the Brewers tonight I won't be watching any baseball at all. A lot of good their blackout is doing in this particular market of one.

Arghhhhh. I'm out of market, but mlb.tv is still blacking me out.

[dlk9s]

According to MLB.tv, it's not supposed to be blacked out. Games "with a scheduled start time after 1:10PM ET or before 7:05PM ET" are blacked out. Seems like every team should just schedule games for 1:05 ET or 7:10 ET (or thereabouts) to get around the blackout rules.

Exactly my feelings as well. I really don't care about the Cubs/Red Sox and may instead enjoy firing up the grill and the radio.

[hawing]

I'm already tired of their CarGo. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

At least FOX isn't irritating me even more by preventing us from video evidence of a Brewer-pitched no-hitter.

[ilovebeer]

OPPS bad pitch. long way to go

[brewers19]

Yeah, I'm out-of-market and still can't get this game. I don't get it.

[ilovebeer]

That was not one of Shawn's better opening innings.

[topper09er]

leadoff double, get him over and get him in.

[ilovebeer]

On the pre game show they said that the Brewer pitchers did not walk a single man in 14 innings.
