That's a group of seasoned veterans if I've ever seen one.

That's a group of seasoned minor-leagueveterans if I've ever seen one.
Finished your thought FY

Fowler may be the only one of those who's played more Major League games than minor.

Castro (274 vs. 222) and Altuve (356 vs. 318) also join the elusive club.

I don't know for sure, but I'd assume not.  MLB refused to lift the blackout (surprise, surprise), so they will have to be playing the Rangers to be seen on Austin TV.

That sucks.  It's not blacked out on MLB network on DirecTV in Houston.  The radio does sound good, though.

A DirecTV screwup is giving subscribers access to YES Net broadcast of #Astros & @Yankees. Game should be blacked out here. Just too funny.

Too bad the screwup didn't extend to Austin and Uverse.

Yes, I was hoping Uverse would screw up and not switch us to Tor-TB.

I think they just said that Soriano hit into an inning-ending DP, maybe even with the bases loaded. Was that as wonderful as it seems like it would have been?

Dominguez made a good catch. Bullpen was making me nervous.

Normally his dribble doesn’t bother me but that whole ‘be selfish as a batter’ waffle was just idiotic.
