AL and NL play on different days so they won't affect each other.

Not through the entire Division Series. They stagger the start days to minimize the number of days in which three or four games are played but baseball does not and will not go to every other day just for TV. They at least attempt to make the postseason like the regular season so one still needs starter or at least bullpen depth.

Easy to way to solve this debate. No times but shows dates throughout the entire postseason.

Was able to snag a SRO ticket for Friday.

Haven't done SRO in years. I'm thinking either up behind the mezzanine? I assume the area around the home run pump will be a cluster.

Not sure how it will work for playoffs, but the Honda Club level might be a good option for SRO if you have a Honda key. Someone else will need to weigh in on that though because I've never done it

Only available for regular season.

I'd get there ASAP and try and post up somewhere out by Torchy's.

SRO is going to be a cluster. If you want to get a good spot then you need to get there before doors open.

FYI, if you take the left field escalators to the upper deck, then take the stair well down to the club level, nobody is there checking tickets

do it every time I go.

I watch more games from behind the Crawford Boxes than in my actual seat. Great view if you don't mind standing, though you will want to be there really early for a postseason game. The club level is okay, but it's hard to find an unobstructed view, and you completely lose the stadium atmosphere.

During the 2015 playoff, the SRO behind the Crawford Boxes and along the left-center field walkway was 5-6 people deep.

Can you watch on the staircase to Torchys

May be a decent plce
NotGibbs

Another option would be to stand on the stairs by the video tower in CF. Obviously that's a long way from home, but I've seen a handful of people out there every game this year

Edit: astros beat me to the punch

So with Cleveland winning today:
What's their magic number to clinch AL?
2?

Quick question on Verlander: Does this dude not give interviews or what? I didn't see him interviewed after clinching, after other games he starts, etc.

He got interviewed by Julia when he first joined the team. And he got interviewed during the clinch celebration...

Exactly. There was quite a long interview with him after the clinch... he made it a point to wear the Houston Proud shirt instead of the AL West Champs shirt.
Joe West is a fat piece of **** and a waste of oxygen.

I recorded what I thought was most of the lockerroom celebration from the clinch. Maybe I didn't get it all, so I will have to search online. Thanks.

He was also on PTI.

They have said before that starters don't always get interviewed after starts because they head straight to the training room to get treatment.

Julia's postgame interviews are typically with position players.

Yes, and Houston's magic number is 6, so with 7 games remaining (total between Houston & Cleveland) getting the AL 1 seed is going to be a big challenge.

I have been so swamped at work, I had no idea ALCS tickets went on sale. Luckily for me, I was able to snag 2 together for game 3 in sec 111.

Basically we need to sweep and chi soxs take 2 of 3 from tribe.

Highly unlikely for sure

I'm only seeing ALDS on the website, and I haven't seen any emails about ALCS.

You purchased through secondary market I assume? As far as I know season ticket holders have purchased their tickets, but none of the other presales have occurred. Lottery winners just received their emails yesterday with the announcement that presale date would be provided shortly.

I freaked out when I saw that

Alcs should open Friday Game 2 of ALDS

I haven't even seen an email. Generally you at least get an email if you don't get selected in the lottery...

Website also says October 6 drawing date.

I received this yesterday:

Thank you for your registration for the Houston Astros Postseason Ticket presales.

Due to the challenges faced by some fans while attempting to purchase ALDS tickets during the first half of the presale hour, we'd like to give you advanced notice that you have been selected for the online ALCS single game ticket presale opportunity, should the Astros advance.

Please note that inventory for the ALCS will be limited and ticket availability is not guaranteed for all presale participants, as tickets will be sold during the presale on a first come, first served basis. You will again receive details of your ALCS presale timing and password by email in the days leading up to the presale. No further action is required on your end at this time.

I live in Midland. I just watch the Stros games at home but my favorite place to watch sports in general is Basin Burger. (can't say for sure they have the Astros on but they've got a lot of TVs)
