Only way is he DH's and Diaz catches and we know that will never happen in a million years. So expect more strikeouts and potentially ending inning double plays, a turnstile on the basepaths, God awful pitch framing costing JV several strikes, and a guy with an incredibly high OPS on the bench (yes, he's been scuffling lately but he could also break out at any time).

Is it Dusty or JV that really wants Dubon? I don't get it. Dubon is not a better CF

I think she's just having one but they already have one.

Either way that's phenomenal to hear. I can't imagine getting a call and having to bolt back home the night before you start. Scary stuff

So. We win today and the Mariners are up 3-2 T9. If they win they very much open the door to that win being a bad outcome for them. It could actually be better if they lose. Do they throw the game?

Please dear lord let that happen. I want to see Servais have to do that and I want to watch Manfred squirm like the weasel he is.


There is no scenario where the Mariners benefit from losing a game.

0-12 in extra inning games might be what kept them out.

Even going 4-8 would have them in the wild card as the 5 seed

I think their expected record is something like 91-71 or something like that. They have had terrible luck

Edit: just checked and it's 93-69. I don't think I've ever seen a combined 26 game difference

SD is more than bad luck. There have to be some big clubhouse things going on.

Are extra innings a product of luck or coaching? I believe it's coaching, but I don't know if stats have anything to say.

I'm pacing myself for this long day, but I trust my liver. It's been meticulously trained for days like this.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

I'm holding off until after the Ag's finish up, then we're heading down to the Heights for some patio drinks.

They are really trying us but this is the moment we have prepared for.

Max Johnson saw we were hoping for a stress free morning and said not on his watch. He's going to make us Aggie Astros day drink

I'm going to guess that "no independent streaming" is less the teams and more MLB.

And MLB needs to pull its head out and get with reality.

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

I just tried a quick search for distribution numbers, but it wasn't available. Me and 3 friends all have different providers. None of us get it. I'm youtube tv.

What is stopping you from getting any of these providers?

airs on Comcast Xfinity, DirecTV, AT&T U-verse and streaming channels fuboTV, DirecTV Stream and AT&T TV in addition to some smaller cable companies


Is it the most ideal and convenient? No. But it's readily available for the large majority of fans.

Only reason I have xfinity is for the Astros.

When we do the math, bundling internet and the cable is about the same as it would be to have internet through xfinity/AT&T and then FUBO or YouTube

With the ownership change perhaps they'll choose to negotiate more doable carriage fees for additional cable/satellite/streaming providers.

And that is fine. I don't love the options either.

But the large majority of fans has access. That was the point.
