The Porkchop Express said:The highlight of the Astros' 1992 season - Butch Henry's first ML hit, a 3-run inside the park home run off Doug Drabek when Bonds dove for the ball and missed it in left field. Only player in MLB history with an inside-the-park homer as his first hit.EastCoastAgNc said:Here's the Mancini clip for those who don't remember it:wangus12 said:EastCoastAgNc said:I can't imagine the little league hijinx that would have to ensue for him to get a triple...kinda like when Mancini got that inside the park homer with the Orioles because a fly ball nailed the outfielder right in the facewangus12 said:Watch Maldy be the first C to hit for the cycle in like 20 yearsBeaumontAg05 said:
I can't wait to play the whitesox and see Maldy get a months worth of hits in 1 game against us.
The real MVP of that play is not actually seen in the video. Pirates' CF ANdy Van Slyke, who hated Bonds and was hated in return by Bonds, gave absolutely zero effort to run over and get the ball after Bonds fell down.

Looks like we are on Apple TV's Friday Night Baseball for the first Friday of the season.

I've had both, and stuck with DTV. As already mentioned, it's a bit more expensive, but the picture quality is much better. Did a little research, and figured out it was a Fubo issue, and not a network issue.AustinCountyAg said:I just signed up for DTV stream a couple weeks ago. It is like $4 more a month but it does have TBS/TNT if that is important to you. I like the fubo set up better though FWIW.gambochaman said:
Im sure you guys have discussed
Whats the better option, fubo or dtv stream? I have used fubo always but wondering if the other is better
It looks to be more expensive
I know not everyone has Apple TV+ and nobody wants to spend more to watch games but their presentation is great. Great picture quality and the ability to listen to the Stros radio broadcast that is perfectly synced with the picture.Mr.Bond said:WES2006AG said:

Same conclusion here. The better picture quality is well worth the few extra bucks a month.bek.90 said:I've had both, and stuck with DTV.

Depends how crazy it is. Astros fans will line up for hours and hours just for bobbleheads and new gear.texasaggie2015 said:
Anyone else planning to drop by Spec's on Saturday to get Roy Oswalt to sign a bottle of his bourbon?

They now offer DirecTV Stream which is essentially the same product without the satellite dish. Having the service cut out because of rain is what always kept me from considering DirecTV until the Stream option became available.Farmer1906 said:
I think DTV is a good product, but storms will cause issues at times. If you pay for DTV, they have a great app that streams most of their channels.
storms really aren't an issue anymore. They seamlessly allow "continue watching" and switch to their streaming feed. It's only an issue for DVRFarmer1906 said:

I tried the Apple+ trial for one of our Friday night games and I recall there being technical difficulties for the game. I remember not being able to hear the local radio call like they advertise. It was just crowd noise. I must have had the outlier bad experience, but it soured me entirely from it.
Cristian Javier averaged 93.7 mph and hit 95 mph on his fastball in his GL start against the Cardinals today. His fastball averaged 92.7 mph last season. Javier struck out six in three innings. He also allowed home runs to Matt Carpenter and Jordan Walker, both on fastballs.

José Abreu came up limping after going into a slide on the bullpen mound here in Jupiter chasing a foul ball. He is staying in the game after being visited by a trainer.
