Anderson has a 1.13 ERA against the Cubs in 24 IP this season, I'd start him and keep Peralta on the ready.

What's crazy is the scoring was identical for the last two games. Tigers jump out to a 3-0 lead. Brewers score five to make it 5-3. Tigers score two tie it up and a late inning HR for Milwaukee wins it 6-5.

We can end the Cardinals season next week when we sweep them.

If the Brewers are in position to clinch anything during that series with the Cards a road trip to St. Louis is very tempting.

http://m.mlb.com/glossary/rules/suspended-game Games are suspended if they are tied or the visiting team took the lead in the inning the game was called. Based on the rules, if the game was called the Brewers would win.

Especially since Kratz didn't even have the ball in his glove, that's a pretty big miss by both the ump and the Nationals.

There's the old Scooter I remember.

It is just a preseason thing, the local networks themselves have to negotiate streaming rights. Won't be an issue in the regular season when all games are handled by national networks.

John Axford will be making his first career start today as the Jays are going with a bullpen day in what was Happ's spot in the rotation.

If you're in market you can get FSWI on pretty much all streaming services, each of which is around $30-40 a month. Sling, Hulu, PS Vue, and YoutubeTV all offer FSWI.

You have no problems with posting here, how difficult is it to click over to Facebook and watch the game there? If you're Facebook and you're paying for the rights to air the games, why would allow people to watch it somewhere other than Facebook? It makes no sense, FOX does the exact same thing.

Oh please, every single broadcaster that airs MLB does the same thing. FOX and ESPN games are exclusive and you can't watch in market games in MLB.TV for the same reason. If a company is paying for the rights to air the games, why would they want to allow you to watch the games somewhere else? I see no issue with trying to draw in younger fans, and I'm sure only airing weekday afternoon games on Facebook is also a way to reach young professionals who can stream the game while they work.

That's because this was the first week of games on FOX. FOX has an exclusive window from 6-9pm on Saturdays until the All Star Break so if teams in the east and central time zones want to televise their games locally they have to schedule them in the afternoon. You'll notice the Brewers don't have a Saturday night game again until the week after the All Star Break. This has been happening for the last few years now.

It's no different than cable, if you live in market you get FS Wisconsin and can watch all Brewer games live.

I can answer for YouTube TV: 1. You get unlimited Cloud DVR, available on every device you have the app, so if I'm traveling I could watch my recorded shows on my phone. One really nice feature is you just subscribe to a show or a team and it automatically records each showing for you. For example, I just subscribe to the Brewers and Bucks and I get every game regardless of what channel or time they're on. Also really cool is it accounts for long games. If the Brewers go extra innings for example, the recording grabs the whole thing, not just the three hour window the game was earmarked for. The only real negative is if you DVR something that is also available on demand, it forces you to watch the on demand version with the commercials. 2. As long as you have the app, you can log into as many devices as you want, including laptops, tablets and phones, though you're only allowed three concurrent streams. If your TV doesn't have the app, you would need some kind of a device like a Roku or an Apple TV to stream it with. You can add up to six friends or family members to your account and they each get their own personal account and DVR, but again only three concurrent streams, so you have to be careful with that. 3. This is the big reason I went to YouTube TV. In the Green Bay market they have all five local channels, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and the CW. They also have FS Wisconsin and FS Wisconsin Plus for those days when the Bucks and Brewers are on at the same time. It was the only streaming service I could find that had all of the locals. 4. In two months with the service, I haven't had a single issue of buffering or lag or pixilation. It's been a constant HD feed at all times. I have 100 mbps internet from Spectrum, so your mileage my vary if you have slower internet and multiple streams.

You do realize all those streaming services are just turn on the tv and go to the channel you want, right? I dropped cable and went to Youtube TV a couple of months ago and couldn't be happier. Spectrum bill went from $190 to $68 for just internet and Youtube TV is $40 a month, so I'm saving about $80 each month.

You will need an account to watch.

Tried YouTube TV and I think this is going to finally get me to cut the cord. Not sure about Milwaukee, but it has all of the local Green Bay channels along with FS Wisconsin and MLB and NBA Networks. Plus it has unlimited cloud DVR storage, really happy with it so far.

Awesome! That was always a bummer, the occasional Wednesday or Thursday noon game, day off and find out they aren't on. I wonder if the presence of Fox Sports Go has made televising those games worthwhile. They weren't worth the cost when most people weren't home to watch, but now with FS Go they can watch from their desk at work.

ESPN has only released a partial schedule, mainly the first two months of the season. The rest will be added as the season goes on, and as long as the Brewers are in contention they'll have more games on ESPN.

FSWI announced the regular season TV schedule today. For the first time ever, every game will be televised. 155 on FSWI, 7 on FS1 and one on ESPN: https://www.foxsports.com/wisconsin/story/fox-sports-wisconsin-milwaukee-brewers-schedule-022618

The Brewers are only one of four MLB teams to have not held a Pride Night, so I'd say it's overdue.

No. You just have each of the 8 division winners make the playoffs. I can't believe the ratings for the wild card games are that much more than a series. Maybe this year they are since the Yankees played in one. Then you'll get a .500 or under team making the playoffs while a 90+ win team misses out.

The problem with eight four-team divisions is you either have to eliminate the wild card or expand the playoffs to 16 teams, neither of which is going to happen. With four eight-team divisions you get four division winners and eight wild cards with four wild card games. Four one game playoffs are the TV network's dream.

There's the Scooter we all know.
