Based on my reaction absolutely nothing is wrong.

1-0 heading to the 5th

Verlander at 84 pitches. Unless he has a quick 5th then that will most likely be his last inning.

Kelly at 55 pitches. Need several more runs to knock him out early.

Unless we see a super efficient 5th, V has only one more inning left. BP going to need to cover 12 outs.

Dusty does not inspire confidence. Just saying.

Machete drops in a single

Pinch run time

Maldy hit!

need good at-bats from Altuve and Bregman right here

um, no

GiDP

Is that what you were hoping for?

Dropped that bad boy in right there.

LFG

Sure would help my blood pressure if we pushed 10 runs across this half inning here.

JV clean through 5

Let's bust this baby open. Drop 3 on them.

5 shutty. That'll work.

Montero or Graveman - Neris - Abreu - Pressly.

Bregman needs bat 8th/9th

That was some wild **** wasn't it? Playing in front of cardboard cutouts and piped in crowd noise.

Big news today as the Astros and Rockets the acquisition of regional sports network AT&T SportsNet Southwest.

Beginning Oct. 3, the new channel will be named the Space City Home Network.

Couple of notes from the press realse about the deal:

Got to love having a network the majority of fans can't watch.

---

What's stopping the majority of fans from watching?

I mean fubo tv cost a ridiculous amount of money cause you have to add on a ton of channels for an extra $30 a month the get the channel to watch. It's very expensive and not every fan has an extra 120 a month to watch the Astros. But they might have $30 if it's direct to consumer

---

I currently have Hulu+ with live TV and have every channel I want except the Astros games and I pay a little over $80/ month. Any of the services that carry the Astros don't have several of the other channels I want and last time I looked a couple of weeks ago, they were a min of $100 a month when you include the up charge for the regional channels to get the Astros games. So I can pay more money to not get as many channels that I want just to get the Astros? What a great deal. Would be totally willing to pay $10-15 per month directly to the Astros or MLB to direct stream their channel without blackouts. There is zero chance they are getting $10-15/ subscriber from their packaged carriers now. They are not going to get any money from me as it is now, so offering that direct option would get them money from a subscriber they don't currently get anything from.

---

They are getting more because of the packaging required by cable and satellite. 50% of those subscribers are paying but don't watch. If just watchers were paying, the teams and leagues would take a 50% reduction in their rights fees. They don't want that, thus no reasonably priced streaming ($10-15 per month) which would encourage viewers to move. Keeping the cable bundle in tact as best as possible creates significantly more revenue for teams.

---

You are missing the point. I am not one of those people. They are not getting a penny from me because i am not subscribed to a package that includes their channel and i have no plans to do so as long as it costs me $100/ month to do so. Those people who are subscribed to a package but never watch that they are getting money from now are not going to drop their service just because the astros offer a direct stream option. At best, direct tv and fubu will lose a few tens of thousands of subscibers, but the astros will lose $2-3 per person that they would get from fubu or direct tv, but will instead get $10-15 from that person. They are not going to lose money doing it.

Good time to get 30.
