Friday at 1:05 and Saturday at 8:07, both on FS1
I know it is an annual tradition to bitch about the start times of games, but this is fucking ridiculous. There are only two games on Saturday, there's no need to have one starting after 8:00. Most elementary school age kids will only be able to watch just a few innings of the first two games of the series at most.
They manufactured their own problem by putting both Saturday games back-to-back on FS1. And when Yankees/Twins inevitably runs long, I'm sure they'll delay switching over to our game.
I can deal with the f'd up start times, but if they delay our game I will absolutely loose my shit!
Get your Worrell button ready. TV announcers for games 1-2 are Kenny Albert, Joe Girardi, and.... AJ Fuckhead.
That would be beyond the pale. They have got to find a way to do better than that. Like switching to the later game in the territories of the two teams. Or putting the late game on an alternate FOX network until the big FOX can pick it up. But since it is already on FOX1 I suppose there isn't an alternate network and it is a college football gameday. This has the possibility of being really fucked up.
I've got Sling for TV, but apparently they're in a dispute with Fox, so I likely won't be able to see the games on FS1.
Any recommendations on the cheapest/best alternative for watching Fox channels for the next month?
I quit sling and moved to Youtube TV. I would at least use the free week during this round of the playoffs.YouTube TV, Fubo, HULU, etc. all seem to offer a free week. Try them all and then choose your favorite. I’m using FUBO TV after trying several providers, mainly because of ATT SportsNet is only on my it. Unless I’m mistaken
I mute the tv and pickup the Astros radio broadcast. You have to synch it up because tv is ahead of radio but that is easy with the delay tv button.I do that too. I usually end up a little behind GameZone
Buckle up, folks. Tampa is a good baseball team. Their bullpen is purportedly one of the best in MLs so getting runs early is key.
-The Rays won four out of seven games against Houston in 2019.
-The Astros outscored the Rays 40-27 in 2019.
-Tampa won three of those four games to open the 2019 season.
-The Astros scored nine runs in those four games, and scored four runs in the last three games of that opening series combined.
-The second HOU/TBR series was Aug 27-29. Houston won 15-1, won 8-6, and lost 9-8.
-The Astros are 5-12 at Tropicana Field since the beginning of the 2015 season. They're 2-6 in 2018-2019.

We probably should forfeit.

Hinch says Correa is ready to go on Friday.
“Feels great and he’s ready to go... I have no concern that he's going to be able to post tomorrow.”
And Reddick is a dad. Maverick Joshua Reddick and Ryder Blaze Reddick were born yesterday.
Seriously? You name one of them "Maverick" and the other one something other than "Goose"?

I was thinking Cheyenne to go along with Maverick. Or Gunsmoke.
Ryder Blaze sounds like two Nickelodeon shows collided.

Strap on!
As luck would have it, my company is upgrading its IT this weekend, and so we're shut down for the day. I will be at Johnny McIlroy's watching the game if anyone cares to join me.
Point of order: wear my WS Game #7 shirt, or save that powerful juju for later?

Miley and Urquidy in. Devo, Peacock and Abreu out.

Devo AND Peacock out surprises me. That's some serious reliever experience missing from the team.
Neither one is pitching particularly well at this time.
Neither is Miley and he's coming out of the pen. Anyone know if he's done that before?
I am wondering if the plan is to start Miley in Game 4 then flip to Urquidy if Miley starts to implode again. And just hope that James, Rondon and Smith can fill the gaps in any pre-7th inning relief work that is necessary.
FWIW, I'm going with a generic Astros shirt today. Saving my Game #7 shirt for must-win games.

"Area Man Creates Must-Win Situation"Okay, this make me laugh.
I have the same outfit I wore to all home games in the 2017 post season. I did include a Springer jersey today. I even have the same necklace on.
I am in the middle of a field in Todd Mission, Texas. I have to see what radio can do for me.Had to look on the map to find Todd Mission, that's a new one for me.

Where's everyone getting their Frito Pie today? I'm debating between Christian's Tailgate and State Fare.
when Millie our 9 year old ragdoll rescue cat laid on the couch today it was a good omen as she has a history of laying in the same place during play off games.Sounds more like a hen.
Texas Renaissance Festival. I work here for fun in the fall.Badass. It's been a while since I was there.

Tucker starting in RF, batting 8th.
Machete catching, batting 9th.
Wow.
I am filled with hate this time of year. I hate the Yankees.
Tucker showed some pretty good defense after his call up. Looks like he covers a lot of ground and has a better than average arm.I'm hoping he shows good defense tonight!
I hate them all year round without any real effort.Right. Just like breathing. I am not sure how to not hate them.

Lots of Astros representation here. Been high-fiving non-stop since I arrived.
Today I had no frito pie and no Love Street. That will change tomorrow.
I'm off the hook.

The Yankees aren't better than us, but they're better now than they were most of the year and they're better than people have been giving them credit for. If we're lucky enough to face them again this year it's going to be intense.
Fucking noon starts coupled with that ridiculous “no beer in the office” policy...
A slightly shuffled lineup today. Brantley in the 2-hole and Altuve hitting third.I like it. Splits up the lefties by having two rightys between each one. Forces Cash to really pick his spots when using his lefties

Curious stats time:
The Astros are 1-5 at the Trop.
The D-Rays are 1-4 at MMP
In all three decided divisional series, the home team lost its elimination game.
