[AZBrewCrew]

I'm going to the game tomorrow. Anyone else?

[CheezWizHed]

[sarcasm]But will Jonathon Lucroy stay a Brewer long enough to reach his bobble head day on March 4th????[/sarcasm]

[fondybrewfan]

Arcia hits a 2R HR. Good way to start the year

[pacopete4]

Middlebrooks smacked a HR too!

[reillymcshane]

I'm just excited to see a game thread!

[1992casey]

I've added the TV and radio schedule to the [a=p974499]lead post[/a]. If you have a MLB.com subscription, opponents' feeds are likely available for some of the games not covered by the Brewers. I don't believe that any spring training broadcasts are blacked out.

[Baldkin]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in about 15 minutes, Mr. Baseball should be taking the mic.

[1992casey]

I have the audio playing, and right now, there's a very tentative unfamiliar guy giving the lineups. Today's game vs. the Cubs apparently has the DH.

 

EDIT: It's the Cubs feed with Len Kasper.

[Baldkin]

That was Jeff Levering

 

Uke's there, and did the initial intro.

[1992casey]

We have Len Kasper now. Since this is an mlb.com feed, I wonder if we'll hear Brewers broadcasters later.

 

EDIT: The guy I was hearing is someone named Nick.

[Baldkin]

Uke's doing the Giants SS game, not the Cubs.

[sdcheezhd]

Ueck is back!! Block is not!! EY base hit!! All is good!!

[sdcheezhd]

"Get up get up get out of here and it's off the wall!"

 

We have our first no problemo of the year as well.

[Baldkin]

Well, if this offense keeps up all year, we might win the division!

[valpocrewsader]

No audio stream available today, only radio, correct?

[1992casey]

All of the games are streamed. The Cubs game is available with Cubs broadcasters. The Giants game has feeds from both teams.

 

FWIW, the Cubs broadcaster is Mick Gillispie, not Nick.

[1992casey]

According to Uecker, Tim Dillard is working tomorrow's webcast with Brian Anderson. Today, he's pitching.

[sdcheezhd]

First W in the books. Ueck to take us home in the other one.

[Mudville9]

Nice start for Nottingham. Is it too soon to call him The Sheriff?

[1992casey]

My fourth generation Apple TV is dropping the audio whenever the screen saver kicks in. The third generation Apple TV is working perfectly. MLB tech support says it's their issue and not mine, so hopefully a fix shows up in a few days.

 

I haven't tried video recently, but I had no trouble with it the couple of times I watched archived games over the winter.

[sdcheezhd]

I'm going to the game tomorrow. Anyone else?

 

We're going to both of them on Monday the 21st.

[Dean Machine]

On the Webcast Brian Anderson just said at the end of the year when Uecker hangs it up the headset is going straight to the Hall of Fame. He then corrected himself to say "or whenever he hangs it up. I sure hope this isn't so.

[1992casey]

Yeah, I think that was a slip. They were talking Tim Dillard using Ueck's equipment and the possibility that he may need to use Bob's caugh button. Tim said that before Bob's stuff ever got to the Hall of Fame, he (Tim) would be taking it home with him.

 

Dan Plesac and Greg Amsinger were in the booth for a couple of innings. When Dan did some play by play, he kept replacing the names of the guys on the field with Cooper, Yount, etc. And he told a story about the first time he encountered the Fenway Park dugout bathroom, which only had a urinal, and how he had to accommodate himself when he didn't have time to go back to the clubhouse before he took the mound.
