Not surprised but damn, Friday at 1:07pm is a kick to the nuts. These are the third and fourth biggest cities in the country.

Anyone want a pair of Game 1 Ultra Club Patio tickets, row 1 for $120 total?

I guess BOS or NY vs TB is a bigger draw either way.

Everyone gets hacked every year when we get the early slots. At some point it has to stop being a surprise. We aren't a National draw.

We actually might be now thanks to the haters.

I wonder how they decided the time slot for Sunday night and how the NFL determines the most advantageous times.

I honestly think the best thing to do is just alternate who is the prime time

So game 1: Astros afternoon, Tampa prime time
Game 2: Tampa afternoon, Astros prime time

And so on

We both know it's not about local fans. It's all about advertising dollars based on eyeballs. It's not best or fair.

Baseball only markets a few of their teams. It's been that way for a long time. They are terrible at promoting the entire league.

I think their goal is for me to not watch my team.

Here is your answer. Giants on in the late afternoon is the reason



Edit: actually nevermind that doesn't make any sense.

Yeah I got that after realizing the giants and Yankees playing at the same time didn't make sense

Boy if this doesn't paint a black and white picture. Pretty simple indicator of success.

ESPN article:
Quote:
[O]nly the Royals threw a lower percentage of first-pitch strikes, which could be a particular problem against playoff-caliber offenses. After jumping ahead on the first pitch, the Astros allowed just a .563 OPS; when they didn't that number leaped to .923.

Supremely important for McCullers and Valdez to throw strikes early.

Because those two clubs have not met in 2021, the second tiebreaker would be division record. If that were also a tie, the tiebreaker would be intraleague records (the NL club's record vs. NL teams and the AL team's record vs. AL teams).https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-2021-postseason-tiebreaker-scenarios

Perhaps they can have a 3 man crew and add Blummer for balance. I mean hell he played for CwS too.

Lucas Giolito vs the Astros in his career:



so the last 2 times he has pitched against the Astros he's gone 18 innings (2 complete games), given up 1 earned run, 7 hits, 17 K's and only 1 walk...

Lets hope they go with Lynn in game one lol
if they pitch Giolito the first game, we may need the trash can

Nope

I want Giolito going up against our best where maybe 2 or 3 scratched across runs may be enough to win.

In that case it's LMJ.

Framber can match or out pitch Lynn against our offense but we need perfection against Giolito and Lance gives us the best chance to win against him.

So the Astros are 49-27 against the AL West and the Brewers are 47-29 against the NL Central.

Remember in 2019 when we were the one seed and they put him along with girardi on our series and put the prime crew on the Yankees twins series? We're always gonna get screwed.

My preference of having Lynn pitch game 1 has more to do with this tweet:



If we are going to see one of them twice then I'd prefer Lynn

It's very likely that whoever starts game 2 would piggy back if it got to game 5
