Listening to Spring Training Games (Merged with Brewers Spring Training Radio Broadcasts)

[bthurley19]

In the past there has been confusion whether or not the spring training webcasts would be free or not and with the first spring training game less than 3 days away, it would be great if someone could clear this up. I can't find anything concrete from the Brewers.

In the mailbag on brewers.com it said that you could buy an all-access package for $14.95 for the entire season.

tc always finds them for free, sometimes it is in the 3rd inning, but my understanding is that they are free.

Welcome, ewizabeff!

 

The confusion has always been because the games require a subscription which technically runs from Opening Day through the following March. First-time subscribers get Spring Training tacked on 'for free', so they'll get two Spring Trainings on their first subscription.

Casey, that's where I got confused because I remember last year it worked for free for me but that was due to having the gameday audio from the previous year and having it run through spring training. I ended up getting gameday audio again last year so I could listen to Bob and Jim in St. Paul and mlb.com sent me a renewal email early in February for this year, which I canceled because I'm living back in Wisconsin. I checked to see if my subscription still works by accessing the audio archive of the World Series and it asked me to login and sure enough it still works. So if you had gameday audio last year or are purchasing it this year, the spring training games will be available "for free".

i suppose i could describe the action to someone who called me at a weekend brewers spring training game. more often than not, my friends & i will call each other to give realtime descriptions of whats happening in games at crucial moments.

[1992casey]

It's way confusing, and it's a horribly misleading definition of 'free'.

Anyone know when the flagship will be done there broadcasting games? I remember the last couple years, they didn't do any until the last week of ST. Anyone have a schedule or know if AM 620 will cover earlier?

[pitchleague]

not off the top of my head, but I do believe that all weekend games will be broadcast on WTMJ 620. I think there are a handful of other games during the week towards the end of spring training, but don't quote me on that.

First game is Saturday. I believe they will be doing all weekend games on 620.
