Singleton at DH and Diaz at C and that's a perfect lineup

Singleton hasn't proven a damn thing to be part of a perfect lineup.

Stop trying to derail the hype train

I'm for hype trains! I don't want it derailed, just maybe a little slower. Let that bad boy build up some steam before we send it to the moon.

Do the Astros hit fastballs?

Dusty Baker said he hasn’t checked on Ryan Pressly’s availability for tonight but “I think he’s good.” Baker said Pressly “didn’t feel right” Sunday but it was not arm-related.

Didn't this happen to Altuve as well? A little tummy trouble maybe?

Presley was at the white house yesterday and talking in the videos they posted, so if that was the case he's ok now.

Anyone watching the stros in College station tonight? What's best sports bar to hit up?

I would go to the Angry Elephant if I was there. South CS has a location and so does Bryan.

Is the game on TBS tonight? WTH, guess I'm going out since Fubo doesn't stream that channel.

That's not going to happen. They tried and it wasn't going to work.

---

I guess I sit here and ask how hard did they try? He's a professional athlete. Should be doable with work. Plenty of major leaguers have made position changes

---

Yordan doesn't seem flexible enough for first base. I could be wrong though. He just seems a bit lumbering.

---

I leave to go out of town for a week and apparently I came back and opened the door to the past. I swear this convo was going on the day I left. LOL

I think it's on tbs but it's subject to blackout restrictions. If you're in Houston you won't get it.

I think it's on tbs but it's subject to add to blackout restrictions. If you're in Houston you won't get it.

TBS doesn't do the blackouts for local broadcasts. That's just ESPN. ATTSN has been on air in previous TBS broadcasts

Yeah I know they don't normally do that, however the Orioles are especially litigious when it comes to blackout stuff so I think they have to make an exception. I'm in North Carolina, and you can't get the network that carries nationals or Orioles games where I am, yet I'm still in the blackout zone for all their games. The Orioles owners family owns the network I think, and as we've seen this week, he is not a reasonable man.

Fwiw I have YouTube tv, and it shows that I'm blacked out from getting the game.

Have we talked about McClanahan likely out for the year for the Rays? They may fall quickly

Yes the Germans bombed the moon above on this thread

790 just said the Astros have hit 64 HRs in last 50 days which leads the AL during that time.

I haven't been able to see the Astros on TBS for awhile now in BCS it's always blacked out.

So is the game blacked out or no?

all right, it's time to see what the Orioles hype is all about

haven't seen them play a game all year

Club can't even handle the Eschenfelder late midlife crisis drip today

I don't believe so. Seems like ATTSN is calling it also tonight.

game is on ATT sports per usual

Rodriguez throwing 99 out the gate

Blackouts continue to be the dumbest thing in sports media. Is there any quantifiable data that shows it has any other impact besides pissing fans off?

---

In the past it made the team a bunch of money but with more a la carte streaming options becoming the norm, times are a changin'. The below article gives a good history of how we got here.

RSN revenue has been a staple of pro teams' finances since the early 1980s, when Home Sports Entertainment in 1983 launched as one of the first networks devoted to sports. HSE eventually became Fox Sports Southwest and carried Astros games and, with a few exceptions, Rockets games until CSN Houston launched in the fall of 2012.

Those financial underpinnings that helped pave the way to $200 million team payrolls, however, are about to give way to high costs and declining revenues for the television networks.

First Framber game I can remember where we aren't wearing navy

Cedric Mullins is on a rehab assignment this week

wonder if the Orioles choosing black jerseys

eliminated navy as a possibility
