I wish there were a Twins broadcast to switch to. These broadcasters are as bad as the team. Fuck, they are killing me. I'm going to have to get up out of my hammock and find the Worrell button.

Crowe drives in Altuve (who hit a double) to take the lead again. Astros 4-3 at the end of the 4th.

Barnes singles in Carter to make it 5-3 Astros. Lyles still pitching the top of the 6th.

when you get down on a guy, you go all in. he did not want to be in the pen and should not be there.

I had turned the game off on my iphone, because one of those accursed Coke ads was on. Got distracted and lost track of time, turned it back on literally just as they were calling Crowe's hit bringing in Villar.

You're on mlb.tv right? If you click on "change broadcast" sometimes it gives you the option to do an audio overlay of KBME. It's synched perfectly. That option isn't always there for me - dunno if it varies due to my signal strength, or the phases of the moon, or what, but when it is, it's a fantastic way to watch.

Fuck Ashby. Can we start a campaign to get the Astros to trade for JD?

Yeah, I was watching on the Roku and you can choose from whatever TV feeds there are but you can't select an audio feed independently. Ash wasn't really doing anything beyond what he normally does which is his fake laugh. Julia Morales was pimping some upcoming thing and they spent the entire inning talking about her love for Elvis and the Eagles.

Brownie and Ashby trying to pretend that Ash has a sense of humor is beyond painfully awkward.

Yes. According to JimR's sources (if I remember correctly), he was a real ass negotiating a new deal when his radio contract was up.
