    Didn't Springer go 0-4 with 4 strikeouts in the WS game 1? He'll pick it up.

    Anyhoo, is there a local station picking up the game today? I'm "working" from home today and I have MLBN, but my dad doesn't and he's panicking!

    Anyone else pissed they schedule two Astros playoff games on the early afternoon on work days while the Yankees get primetime games?

    I got a meeting at 1 so am going to miss a big chunk of the game. The rest of the time will have to listen on the radio

    There isn't. Perhaps you can give him your TV provider user name and password to use with the MLB At Batt app?

    Yes, now that we are regular participants in the ALDS it's become an annual tradition to complain about these time slots. Astros haven't had a weekday night ALDS game in the 4 years they have been in this series since 2015 other than game 5 vs. KC when there was no other game to show.

    It happens. Astros dropped to 10th in RBIs, and 14th in RBIs/AB in last month of regular season. Mostly good hitters hitting a lot of homers with men on first, bases empty, and scoring more runs than anyone else over last month is the main culprit in the drop in RBIs with men in scoring position. Bottom of order getting a disproportionate number of ABs with men in scoring position.

    Edit: Biggest problems with Astros offense is hitting homers first, and men getting on base second. Causes Astros to have scored slightly less than they should have...though probably not predictive about future performance.

    That is not a fun lineup to face.

    I'm back at (a) home, locked and loaded. Let's do this thing.

    The upper deck is only half full.

    They can't even sell out a damn playoff game.

    They actually sold 40,000 or so tickets. Most people are still trying to park.

    ETA a lot of the upper deck is still blocked off from buying

    1st time the upper level has been opened this year. Saw that Nashville has plans to build a retractable roof stadium if a team will move there.

    This is not a knock on the fans that bought tickets, but man Tampa does not deserve that team.
