Has anyone ever talked to anyone in the know or gotten an explanation as to why AT&T Sports is not phocking available on a streaming service. I use Playstation Vue and MLB.TV with a DNS workaround to watch the Astros, but I have had lots of folks in my area who are older or casual fans who root for Rangers and Astros ask me how I watch them. Cord cutting is growing exponentially, especially with the younger crowds and the funnest team to watch in baseball is not available.
AT&T has a streaming platform (DirectvNOW) and it's not even available there! WTF.
Meanwhile the Rangers and Fox have been available for 2 seasons. Just irks me, man.
Agreed it's unacceptable how difficult they make it at times. It's 2018 get with it.
I'm talking about att sports net not being a part of sling, vue, direct now, Hulu live, or youtubetv.
This'll go against most of y'all, but I'd rather see Giles in these high pressure situations early on when the games are less important. Either he does well and gains confidence for when you really need him or he does poorly and you learn sooner that you need a replacement.
That said, I'm not going to complain too much, especially when Peacock just slammed that door closed

I've switched to using streams found on reddit for the games this year. I figure between all the merch I've purchased and the games I go to, they're making more from me than the average fan.
Reddit is a godsend
Anyone else reminded of the Game 5 winner on Bregman's go ahead hit today? Takes a low outside pitch and punches it into left field with Fisher tearing around the bases to score the winning run.

what crossed my mind is how difficult it will be to make the American League all-star team in the outfield...starter or reserve with Ohtani and Stanton in the junior circuit now (and Trout healthy)AstroAggie15 said:
What did y'all think of Ohtanis performance last night?
3-4 with a HR and 3 rbis

And he homered again today to center
Here's the thing that hit me today about the rotation...I was looking at probable pitchers for this upcoming series, and for the first time in my life, I realized it doesn't matter who's pitching for us. All five starters are worth seeing and make me excited. #NeverSettle

I hope this is the new normal after watching it be successful in the playoffs. I'm so tired of seeing a guy mow through the 7th and/or 8th innings only to be yanked robotically for the "closer". Get rid of the ridiculous "defined roles," and use Giles just as you would any other bullpen arm.
Brian Kenney, in his book "Ahead of the Curve" argues for this, and maintains that the game will evolve to that. He makes the point that the save is a useless statistic, but it's in the way of keeping the closer's role so narrowly defined as it currently is.
Look at what Peacock did in WS game 3, and what Morton did in game 7. Can you imagine pulling them in the 9th inning?
Not that the Padres were that much of a threat, but one of their only decent batters just got put on the DL today

Pretty sure I'm gonna call att sports tomorrow and see if I can get a reasonable explanation about why they aren't on streaming platforms.
Let us know what they say.
It's the reason I haven't cut the cord.

Do they actually answer questions these days? Diretcv now was impossible to actually get anyone that knew an answer when it was first rolling out (but maybe it's better now)
My observation of today's game...we got a LOT of called strikes that were actually balls. Could it be that we are actually getting some respect from the umpiring crews now that we've made it? A guy can hope but we really got a lot of calls today and I'm DEFINITELY not complaining.
I'm telling y'all:. You can stream without ATT. MLB.tv + Roku + Smart DNS = Astros. After making the switch, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.
On the go, the Reddit streams work.

I'm pissed that our team is not available for how tons of younger people consume media. Especially after they've won the damn world series. The Astros are 1 of about 6 teams not available on streaming platforms.
This is true. Oh well, still gonna do it. I'll keep asking for the manager. Haha.ClickClack said:irish pete ag06 said:

I agree with you, and btw, apparently I cannot read.
The Astros offseason thread was 3,000 posts versus Rangers offseason thread of 1,000 posts.
The Astros 2018 season thread is 1,500 posts versus Rangers 2018 season thread of 500 posts.
The season head to head record is 3:1

That should be moved to the Q thread so it can be broken down to it real meaningQuote:

No runs.
Why?
Look closer.
Question everything.
3-1.

Robot umps within 5 years
Ohtani off to go good start in Anaheim. Competition could be a little tougher within the division this year.
I'm still not sold on Ohtani sustaining success doing both.

Yeah, major props to you for posting this because that's what we do now and it works great. But, it's still annoying to have to do it.
