9/14 Cubs: ZAMBRANO THROWS A FREAKING NO-HITTER

[17 Seconds]

Have they said the attendance? I'm having mlb.tv problems.

[Guest]

Len and Bob think the gun's hot.

 

It's gotta be all the guns because gameday and the Astros broadcast all have him at 95-97 with the fastball. The two tv feeds may use the same gun but Gameday has frequently had different speeds from the tv broadcasts so I think it uses a different gun.

[Hall7810]

Wasn't a strike.

Hahahahah in one day... there is more people at this game at Miller Park then there ever is during the regular season.

 

Also, it is louder than it's ever been... love it... and suck it Brewers :)

 

This is wrong. The Brewers have been selling out for a while now.

 

Selling out and being full are 2 very different things.

 

Do you really think Miller Park isn't packed most days, at least before the recent slide? This isn't a case like the 2006 Cubs where they sold a ton of tickets, the team ended up sucking so no fans wanted to go out there for the last month or so.

 

I've watched plenty of Brewers games on MLB.tv and it is very rarely this packed. This was 1 day of tickets being on sale (22 hours to be exact) and this place is packed.

 

I'm not saying that it isn't impressive that the place is as packed as it is with only 22 hours notice, but I doubt it's more packed than the normal Brewer weekend home game.

 

EDIT: And that's the key. There's no way the place is this packed tomorrow for a day game during the week.

Fair enough.

question: if one uses the international proxy would one theoretically get the wgn tv feed?

looks like i would get it (doesn't say "channel not purchased"), but it looks like it's blacked out. well done, mlb.

[Cynosure]

Z going deep next inning.

 

Hope he's still hot at the plate because it doesn't look like our offense has woken up.
