If I subscribe to MLB Network on YouTube TV will I get the Astros’ games here in Georgetown or is there some sort of weird blackout rule? Now that I am retired I have a lot more time for baseball, especially weekday afternoon games. It will be blacked out. If you dump YTTV for Fubo, you'll get the Astros' games on that channel with the stupid name that I can never remember. (At least I did in 78666.)

MLB.TV gets you every game except teams in your home region which are blacked out. If you live in Texas and you want to watch Astros games, you will have to get SCHN either through traditional cable/satellite or a streaming package that carries regional sports networks. The only two streaming options that carry SCHN are Fubo and DirecTV Stream. I am going into this year with audio only on MLB At Bat app because a) fuck DirecTV and their incessant price increases and b) Fubo doesn’t carry SCHN in Oklahoma. Only games I will see this year will be national broadcasts. If the withdrawal gets too bad, I may resort to MLB.TV and VPN. Posted on the last page but if you have a Roku or smart tv, MLB.TV with a dns/vpn service is the way to go. $125-$150 for a full season of every MLB game (except for a limited few that are on Apple TV…. Like our 2nd game…or May 16 in Arlington…) I’ll repeat, you have to have an Apple TV+ subscription to watch Friday night’s game. Plan ahead if you don’t already have a subscription so you’re not among those pissed off Friday at 7pm.
March 26Mar 26 Jake watches 3 straight strikes to end game. Mid season form. I hope Cam gives us something to watch this year. Excited for the new blood.
March 26Mar 26 You can get a 3 month trial of T mobile on your phone if you have eSIM and get MLB.tv for free. Doesn’t affect your current service. I signed up, downloaded MLB and then turned the sim off on my phone. I’ll use it occasionally but I’m pretty rural and it’s always searching for 5G which we don’t have out here yet. I’ll turn it on for data when I’m in Houston.

March 26Mar 26 Brendan Rodgers got the final spot on the Astros' Opening Day roster, the club announced. Brendan Rodgers makes it 4 non-roster invitees on Astros Opening Day roster (also Cam Smith, Steven Okert, Rafael Montero). Astros had 3 NRIs make their Opening Day roster over the previous 4 seasons combined (2023 Cesar Salazar, Corey Julks; 2024 Tayler Scott).

March 26Mar 26 so much for garcia pitching this year ... After seeing doctors today about his sore elbow, Luis Garcia will seek a second opinion, Espada said.
March 26Mar 26 I have no complaints about their opening day roster choices. Now let’s see if the youngsters can get it done. LFG!

March 26Mar 26 I’ll probably get negged for this but wouldn’t it make sense to have McCullers in the bullpen pitching 1 or 2 innings a week? I think he could be successful in that role.

I've always thought given how good his stuff is, but how injury prone his mechanics seem to make him, that he makes way more sense as a closer than a starter.
March 26Mar 26 Sure blows having four(!) SPs on the injured list. Something to look forward to, maybe. If they all return to form our staff will be stacked.

I thought the same exact thing. like the idea sounded good but the execution was lame/awkward AF.

March 27Mar 27 I hope Cam is the real deal. There's two ways at looking at a prospect being fast tracked into the majors at near record speed. Either he's a future first ballot hall of famer or our farm system is just broken. Could be a a bit of both. We'll see
March 27Mar 27 I’ll start the regular season thread tomorrow morning. Wanted to tonight, but too much shit going on. Full throttle tomorrow and I’ll see some of you fuckers at MMP errrr DP.

March 27Mar 27 Astros World Championship #3 confirmed. Per Bob Nightengale: 2025 Picks: AL East: Yankees AL Central:Tigers AL West: Rangers AL wild cards:Royals, Orioles,Red Sox NL East: Phillies NL Central: Reds NL West: Dodgers NL wild cards: Atlanta, Dbacks,Cubs AL champ:Rangers NL champ:Phillies World Series champ: Rangers
March 27Mar 27 Feels weird to start up versus the Mets 1) because of the NL days and 2) Astros played them like 78 times in Grapefruit action.

We'll see I think it’s more that our outfield is pretty uninspiring and they appear to prefer spending rookie at bats on developing Smith over Dezenzo. I’m in wait and see mode on Altuve, but I wouldn’t be shocked if Yordan is getting most of the LF starts by the all-star break and Altuve divides his time between 2nd and DH.

Yeah I saw a video of Altuve dropping a routine fly ball in spring training. I’m not comfortable with him playing outfield for 160 games
March 27Mar 27 One thing I’ll add is playing Smith over Dezenzo might be a good sign of talent management. This is more pre-Luhnow, but previous Astros leadership would have first tried to see what the more experienced player could do. We’d see Dezenzo get 400 slightly below replacement level AB’s in right and be mostly happy because Chas would be the alternative. Maybe we lose 4 WAR (over Tucker) and we’re wondering why we lose the division by a game or two and blame Myers or Altuve for not exceeding projections. Instead, Brown is being aggressive and playing the guy whose 50th percentile outcome might not exceed Dezenzo’s, but if he can better that we have a real shot of replacing Tucker’s offense.

I agree by the ASB we will have Yordan in Left and Tuve at 2b, with the DH going to the hottest hitter or guys with the best splits.
March 27Mar 27 Anybody ever use streamed.su for other leagues/ soccer/ etc? If I don't find a reliable stream, it'll be VPN time. Fuck MLB and their idiotic/ lazy in-market designations.
