It seems weird that the Brewers haven't been featured at all yet on TV this spring. They haven't had one game on MLB Network, etc. Anyone know if there are any upcoming broadcasts they will be on? I noticed some other teams have tons of games on their local networks...seems like the Brewers and FS-Wisconsin are missing the boat here.

I have Direct TV and have seen ton of Catus league games being shown but nothing aganist the Brewers on any of those other Stations. It very frustrating and especially with Fox Wisc not being a full time staion outside Of Wisconsin.

PS thanks for the Link

Seems like the MLB Network has been showing a lot more games from FL than from AZ so far and it also seems like half of those games have been either Yankee or Red Sox games.

MLB.tv premium has the Brewers on Monday against the Dodgers, Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, and Sunday against the Dodgers again.

 

Here's the remainder of the preseason schedule for MLB.tv premium. 7 Brewer games in total.

Looks like they are starting on Monday broadcasting 7 games over the next 3 weeks. I'm with you though that they seem to be missing the boat. It's 2013 and all we get is a webcast or radio for the first two weeks?

 

Here is the link to the broadcast schedule:

Thanks for the schedule!

 

I see that the March 24th game is the Braun mini bobble game, maybe they will show the bobble?

I'm not sure if it's because of the time zone difference, or just the East Coast bias, but I agree. It might be that Cactus League games last until roughly 6 P.M. EST which would overlap with their regular schedule of broadcasting.

MLB Network also just takes local broadcasts and airs them, they don't produce any on their own. The Yankees and Red Sox pretty much broadcast every game, giving MLB Network more chances to air them. If you notice, 3 of the 5 games FS Wisconsin is airing are also being grabbed by MLB Network, plus two others which I assume will be the opposing team's broadcast. I'm sure if FS Wisconsin did more games the Brewers would be on MLB Network more.

Yeah the Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, Nats and Mets have gotten a ton of coverage on MLB Network and almost all of their spring games are on TV so it makes sense that they would have the most.

Maybe it's because I hit the half-century mark recently, but my, we have it good now compared to back in the day. Some of us remember not knowing what words like internet, webcast, MLB Network, were. I'm only now coming to terms that many of you don't know a world without those things.

The Brewers/Dodgers game is on MLB Network tonight.

Our cable guide says 8:00 PM CDT but MLBN has a top 100 plays thing. Why on earth would there be a rights issue? *grumbling *

Remember: the Brewers never panic like you do.

Dish Network says that it is blacked out in my area. And FSNorth is showing Baylor vs Iowa St women's basketball. Blackout rules suck.

EA Sports...It's in the game...until we arbitrarily decide to shut off the server.

Off topic but what is so great about Vin Scully? Through one inning so far he has said that Tayler Green and "John" Segura are battling for the starting short stop position. "Chris" Gomez is playing center field. And talked about Lucroy being involved in the WBC brawl between Mexico and the US. Plus he never stops talking. A little dead air every now and then isn't a bad thing.

He also managed to call Orlando Arcia "Arias" & "Acias," sandwiched around getting the surname correct once.

 

I love Vin, but he wasn't exactly in top form for this game. He even noted the Dodgers had trained in Florida for 60 years -- from 1948-2005 (graphic on the screen correctly displayed 2008).

Back-to-back Brewers ST games where the HP umpire had to leave due to injury. I wonder if there's been a longer streak than that in ST history

 

Tim McClelland actually calling balls & strikes from behind the mound while the third member of the ump crew is changing into his home plate gear. I've never seen this in MLB.

I know that this should be in an in game thread but I just wanted to say that Weeks hit a bomb and Shafer just made a great catch to take away an Albert HR. Great stuff.
