Any love 4 da crew?? Ever

[Bobafett89]

Is this team ever? EVER? Gonna get a saturday night fox broadcast? Or a Sunday night ESPN telecast?? Espn will show da dogers and mets and angels. But refuses 2 give the best team in NL any love! Thanx fox. Give us an FS1 broadcast 2morro!! But not on the major station. Cuz ya know the brewers are only a 1st half fluke. Whatever?

[Pugger]

I doubt BSPN knows there is another team in the NL Central other than the one in Chicago.

[brewcrewdue80]

Well when we face the Cubs later in season we will likely get that tv slot...except those dang afternoon games there.

[stoutdude04]

So much short hand writing...yikes.

 

U mean u ain't happy wit da fbook live games dood!?!

 

I'm sure they'll get some primetime games after the break. Plus, most everyone knows espn is pretty biased towards the coasts.

[PeaveyFury]

Yeah, we really appreciate the enthusiasm, but it's easier to read the board if the 'text message short-hand' is kept to a minimum.

 

Thanks!

[Montezuma]

I relish being "under the radar" and as for the east coast bias of ESPN, I seldom give them the time of day any more. Cubs, Cards, keep thinking that way ESPN. We are Wisconsin and we will have a voice in the end.

Chicago isn't on the coast unless you are talking about Lake Michigan.

Which then would include Milwaukee

WE don't really have any stars. We have a bunch of really good players and young talent who may be as good as the stars but haven't been around long enough to get much national recognition.

I think the other part of that is the national story line seems to be the Brewers are built to be a good regular season team but can't make a postseason run built this way. Mostly because pundits seems to think true aces are necessary to win in the post season. Not to go off on a tangent but it really bugs me how lazy of thinking that is. The Dodgers had aces up the wazoo for the last five years and have no ring to show for it. How many rings does Greinke, Strasburg, Darvish and Kershaw have combined? The answer is less than Jeff freaking Suppan. The Royals starters didn't exactly light the world on fire, yet they have more rings than the Dodgers this century.

Rant over.

The sooner you realize that the major networks care more about ratings than broadcasting the best games, the better off you’ll be. Big market teams will always draw more in ratings, regardless of records.

How's that strategy working for ESPN? Their ratings have been going down for a long time. The sooner these networks realize they can grow their fan base beyond just the big markets by actually showing teams from other markets their rating might start to grow as well. They take such a short term view of things that they end up making less in the end.

[jerichoholicninja]

Couldn't care less about about lack of "luv" from national media. I've grown to understand why they cover who they do and I get it. The Brewers aren't a large market and have no history of success as a franchise but don't have enough failure to be a lovable sob story like the Browns or Cubs.

[tmwiese55]

It's the nature of being the smallest market, it is what it is as a WI sports fan (other than for the Packers). I'm used to it and am fine with the underdog roles. Make being a UW fan much more fun than if we were kinda labeled the bad guys for being one of the winningest schools in both sports the last 20ish years.

[AZBrewCrew]

ESPN is still around? MLB Network has been giving the Brewers love for a few weeks now,but I'm sure they are guarded because we have started off hot the last few years then nose dived after the Break. Hopefully not the case this year,the chemistry seems like it's there.

I'm glad the MLB Network is giving the Crew some love. I get that station in FL but not up here at UWGB when I am up "home" for 10 weeks every summer.

[Invader3K]

Guys, we've known the East Coast bias is real for years. Let's stop obsessing about it. I basically never watch ESPN anyway, so I really don't care how they do or don't cover our team.

 

Like others have said, MLB Network is where it's at for "fair and balanced" baseball coverage.

[istanbultaye]

I get all the Brewers media love I need from Uecker and Co. and Rock and Co. For any more in depth news and analysis, it's here and brewcrewball. What more media coverage could one possibly need?!

The ratings on ESPN are down for every single team of every single sport. The market is spreading out and they don't control it all anymore. The NFL is rapidly dying from all of the concussion stuff, the NBA is taking off because everyone loves all the twitter nonsense of the players. Baseball needs to find a way to embrace the younger generation and ditch the old white dude who thinks every show of emotion is an insult attitude that is has.

[SomewhereInTime]

I've got a bridge to sell you if you think the NFL is "rapidly dying".
