Charlie P is a very knowledgeable guy but that is all I can say about him. He is very debbie downer & super boring to listen to. He whines about everything & basically gives no props when it's due.
Really what you do there is not make an unforced throwing error and then try to blame it on someone else.

Quick thoughts from the game... As a native Texan who has lived in NYC for six years, it was cold. The temperature hovered around 40º but with pretty intense winds made it unbearably cold unless you were in the sun. Most of the crowd moved ended up moving into the sun, leaving nearly half of the stadium totally empty. Unfortunately no one I knew could get off for work with the postponed game, but great game to watch for Opening Day! Keuchel started to dial in later in the game, Correa seems like a stud, etc. I was also surprised that most of the Yankees fans around me were very complimentary about the Astros.
This bullsh!t happens every season and it doesn't have to. You don't have a roof and you play above the Mason-Dixon line? Then you don't play at home until mid-April. I sat through flurries some years in Baltimore when I lived up there. It's ridiculous. The national media spent a week pissing and moaning about what a traveshamockery holding the Final Four at NRG was because apparently nobody can shoot the three in there ('Nova and UNC put lie to that), but nobody says a word about playing baseball in blizzards every season.
I just found out about this! If you're a T-Mobile customer, you get free MLB.TV premium if you sign up by April 10th. Since I live in San Diego, Astros games are not blacked out, so it works great for me. I'll give it a try with tomorrow's game. https://www.t-mobile.com/mlb.html
I benefited from this. However, I live in Beaumont so Houston games are blacked out. Still a great deal to have for the season.

The majority of teams play above the mason Dixon line (two entire divisions have teams solely in the north and midwest). And they've been playing games in early April for over a 100 years.
I signed up too..i'm in LA so this is pretty sweet, since I'm already a T-Mobile customer. I'll be attending every @Angels game the Astros are playing this year, can't wait!
People might think of this as an overreaction or a bad allocation of funds in the first few years but I would seriously consider offering Correa a mega 10 year deal. Would do anything to lock him up through his first three or four years of free agency.
