Has anyone figured out how to find this game on DirecTV tonight?

 

If we can determine which channel is giving us the game, I'll add it to the post title.

 

 

EDIT: it looks like the game is in it's usual spot: channel 642 for viewers outside the Milwaukee area.

[BrewCrewForever]

Go Brewers! We need this so we can go for a series win tomorrow. I had predicted before the road trip that we would go 6-3 by winning two fo three in each stop. So dont make me wrong guys. And Yo, we need another strong outing, dont pull a Vargas or Capuano.

This is a really big game. A 2 1/2 game deficit is going to be quite difficult to dig out of, considering the way this team has been playing.

[TooLiveBrew]

Please stop breaking my heart, Milwaukee Brewers

[kgbaseball]

It's on WMLW.

[1992casey]

The issue is that a few weeks ago, WMLW games for viewers outside Milwaukee moved away from DirecTV's normal FOX-WI channel. Until tonight, they've been on Channel 658, but tonight, the program guide says there's an FIBA basketball game.

 

Now I see the game has popped up in the program guide for channel 642, the normal FSN location. That wasn't the case a couple hours ago. Hopefully, the program guide is correct.

Hopefully, the program guide is correct.

 

That doesn't happen often with FSN Wisconsin on DirecTV

I was thinking it was going to be Yo batting clean-up.

 

[JohnBriggs12]

Who's hotter than Gross right now? He's pretty much carried this team for 10 days, if you can carry a team that's won 3 times in that period.

 

Now what it says about LF in 2008 is really interesting.

[davego]

John has a good point. Foreshadowing of 08?

[brewcrewnation]

I am liking this Joe Dillion more every day.

[brewcrewnation]

I am kind of glad they didn't score in the first inning, it seems every time they do they stop scoring.

[Mr QL]

Nice start.

 

lonely chatroom :-(

[yogallardo43]

I hate the shift

[SlideBernieSlide]

these old timers are unloading on brewer pitching this weekend.

[Mr QL]

10 runs in the first inning first two games here. Still need two more outs too.

 

I think we can call this game.

[Brewcrewin07]

How can you go into Arizona and win a series from the D'backs and look tremendous doing it, then go into SF and get beat around by the all geriatric team, and one of the WORST teams in the NL??

[Ennder]

I get the feeling Yost is going to be looking for work at the end of the season if not sooner. This team has completely fallen apart.

[SlideBernieSlide]

hit parade. i think yo might beat claudio's 1st inning mark? what is going on here? a staff that looks great against the 1st place d-backs can't get any of the last place giants out. mind-boggling.

[Brewcrewin07]

Well, here come the 1st pitch swings and the pop ups.

The gameday sure looks a lot like the Cardinals series. Soft liner after soft liner and suddenly 4 runs scored.

[owbc]

This is disappointing because I have been happy with the way the team has played lately. The offense is clicking well, the bullpen has been more effective, and the only thing missing is the starting pitching.

 

I can't find a way to blame Yost for this.

 

The middle of the rotation has failed us. Gallardo is not Sheets.

 

Yost will and should be back next year even if the team finishes under .500

[bklynbrewcrew]

No Yost should and will not be back if we finish below 500. That would mean a second half collapse for the second year in a row. Ned has had long enough. Time to go back to Atlanta.

[DHonks]

At least Yo got out of that frame. Estrada's been a really good receiver all year, but twice in this game he's dropped ticked 3rd strikes, and one time it really hurt as the next pitch was looped for a hit.
