Anyone else have dish network and doesn't have the HD feed available? Is this a normal occurence for dish?

[Oldcity]

Is there HD today? I have Dish and don't see an HD feed.

[Mr QL]

are they going to blow a 10 run lead?

[brains and braun]

DD.....not good.

[yount19.u]

Great play by Gomez to save a run.

 

Davis is doing a great impression this year of Looper circa 2009.

[bklynbrewcrew]

This is embarrassing.

[benji]

Is any lead safe?

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

So... When does Manny or Narveson get their shot in the rotation?

 

Staked to a 10 run lead before he throws a pitch, and they still won't get more than 5 innings out of Davis. Pretty pathetic.

[Ennder]

Davis really shouldn't be facing Maxwell here, one of those dumb times the manager tries to get him the win rather than trying to win the actual game.

[brains and braun]

Brewers pitching in April = FAIL

[bklynbrewcrew]

We have the worst pitching staff in baseball. How can a 10-0 lead not be considered a sure win.

[trwi7]

Seriously, you're spotted a 10 run lead and you can't even get out of the 5th inning while allowing the tying run to get on deck?

 

Davis and pretty much this whole staff is brutal to watch.

[benji]

We should take a poll as to when the Brewers can give up less than 4 runs in a game!

[liveforoctober]

It hurts me that we get 10 in the first and DD can't get himself a win. It actually hurts me.

[Funketown]

We have the worst pitching staff in baseball. How can a 10-0 lead not be considered a sure win.

I was surprised to see Fangraphs only having the Brewers at 98% to win the game after being up 10-0 after the top of the first.

 

I forgot about last season...

[Weeks4MVP]

Good news on the pitching front....Doug Davis snaps the streak of starting pitchers giving up homers.

[Mr QL]

Doug Davis to Claudio Vargas

 

to think i use to joke about that

[Ennder]

Doesn't bother me that much, a bunch of groundball singles is going to happen from time to time. I'm just mad that Macha didn't pull him when IRod was up. He was at 100 pitches already and was starting to throw a lot of balls, just bad management.

[ilovebeer]

I am getting tired of first pitch outs

[The Truth]

Is any lead safe?

I think a 20 run lead would be safe. 15 runs? Depends on who is pitching... with a 5 run lead now, we've got ourselves a close ballgame

[The Truth]

There's been a surprising amount of that from Prince lately. Usually he's much better at working the count

[The Truth]

Mighty Casey... all he does is hit baseballs

[davemakovec]

Ground ball after ground ball after ground ball. I'm not complaining. One of those finds a glove early on and the inning is much better. That's mostly bad luck.

[ilovebeer]

If they blow this game, at leaast its one day closer to getting rid of Macha.

[ilovebeer]

Greg Zaun is useless.
