Ort has been solid in his limited chances. I like him pumping strikes with a 5 run lead.

Leverage arms completely rested, Yordan stays hot, rotation keeps looking like it's come together, alone in first.

I was so sure this team was dead like eight times, but here they come again.

Man, where the hell did Kaleb Ort come from. Probably been discussed but he's 32 and a grand total of 51.2 IP in the majors in his career (before this year) and now he's up there just shoving 98-99 with a sub-1 ERA and been stupid good.

Seems like there's got to be a great story there.

key wildcard series between the Royals and Twins this week

Astros can close the gap on those teams with wins in Tampa
Suddenly it's 1987 in here.
it's the way the game goes...

the Royals went 12-1 vs. the White Sox

likewise the Twins went 12-1 vs. the White Sox

gives KC and Minnesota a big boost in the wildcard standings

Can someone with Fubo, or otherwise IT-inclined, explain why I can't get Space City when on the road? I've even used a VPN and it doesn't show as a listing in the guide. Any secret to this?

What about an MLB account... can I watch the Astros if not located in the market? I spend every other week out of state, but I don't want to pay for it only to find out that my billing address blacks the games out no matter my location.

TIA


The short answer is that MLB owns the out of market rights to the regional broadcasts. To protect the revenue from that package they require any "over the top" (streaming) to authenticate both your in market subscription with cable/satellite/fubo and your current location by zip code. Early on the Fox regions negotiated what were euphemistically called "couch rights" which would allow streamers to authenticate you even if in a zip code outside the teams territory so long as you established your presence back in territory within 30 days (retroactively). If you are constantly in and out of market you historicly should have been ok, but since MLB has taken over some of the team rights and Bally (formerly Fox) is now in bankruptcy, them may have rolled back the couch rights.

Sorry, probably more than you wanted to know.


Good info, thanks!
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

the Astros are going to have start pinch-hitting for the outfielders in critical RBI situations

Espada needs as many substitution options as possible

I wonder if we'll regret Will more than Loperfido? I know Will's ceiling was supposedly journeyman but who the hell knows.

I'm not very conversant in analytics, but a quick check of Orts minor league stats looks like he had an issue with walks inflating his WHIP. Other than that all else looks pretty good.

Wonder if it was as simple as the Astros tinkering with his mechanics to allow him to throw more strikes or perhaps eliminating a troublesome pitch from his arsenal.

Orts stats pitching with Astros from post above: 0.90 ERA | 10 IP | 3 H | 0 BB | 14 K

Other than one game this season Framber has looked the part of, and pitched like, an ace.

Still crazy how well the starting pitching has held up despite all of the injuries. I assume with JV returning that Joe will figure out how to give Blanco a break.

I doubt we'll regret either of them too much.

I'm happy for Wagner and I think he'll be a decent enough hitter but he doesn't have the defensive range for middle infield or the arm for 3b or the power for 1b or DH, so he's a guy without a true position and thats why we traded him.

2b is really his best fit, and that wasn't going to happen here.

Bregman - I say we do a Three Fifths Compromise and sign him.

We will pay him 3/5 of what he wants. But he has to spend April and May in AAA. Two years in a row Dubon started the year on fire and fizzled. So Dubon at 3rd April and May, Bregman takes over in June when he actually starts hitting above .225.
"H-A: In return for the flattery, can you reduce the size of your signature? It's the only part of your posts that don't add value. In its' place, just put "I'm an investing savant, and make no apologies for it", as oldarmy1 would do."
