FYI, from what I know there are sales today that are at 9a, 10a, 12p and 1p (general public.) Of course I assume there could have been earlier sales times for more important people.

If anyone has a presale code they are not using I will happily take it. :)

I was selected for the presale for ALDS and ALCS, but not WS.

Was that all that was available to you?  I'm assuming club and first level won't be in the lottery because that's how it was in the ALDS.

Upper deck was best available for 2 together when I purchased at 9am.

Thanks, it was the same for the ALDS.

1078 walk out for 2 seats to games 1 and 2.

We're looking at going to game 2.  I think my wife is going to be out of town on a work trip, so I think I am going to see if I can get a single in the club level for that game since I won't be able to sit with my other 2 friends any way.

The best bet to get tickets now may be stubhub or one of the other sites that give full refunds for games not played. And they guarantee the tickets.  

if you wait until the Astros win the ALCS, prices will most likely skyrocket.  

Finally you can gamble on getting tickets last minute before each game on stub hub.  That strategy costs nothing and you can end up watching the game in a downtown bar.  It would still be fun. 

Will you not get a refund from the Astros if there is no game 6 or 7?

Astros will refund for any games not played.

Ok, that's what I thought.

Yes, if you buy from the Astros, they refund all ticket prices and fees.   

I was saying that if you buy on the secondary market, then you want to know that you will receive a full refund from the secondary market place. Also StubHub and Seat Geek guarantee the tickets in case something happens like the seller somehow sells them twice. 

Just like with the Super Bowl, a World Series bring out the scammers. Watch out. If it's too good, then it's probably a scam.

Yeah, I'm only dealing with the Astros or stubhub for this.  I think we have decided on buying single seat best available for all 4 games from the noon pre-sale and then buying a block of club seats for Game 2 from stubhub so we can sit together.  Then we'll sell all of the pre-sale tickets on stubhub if the Astros advance.  If there are only 2 games, we may not make our money back, but the club seats will have been reasonable at least.

27 mph wind gusts blowing to the outfield.  Bet those overs folks.

No dead ball bitching tonight if that holds up.

This is definitely a must win for them.  I'd love to put a few up in the first

I want to crush thier spirits tonight. 14 -0 type win.

Maybe we get 2 or 3 off Tanaka in 5 innings so they think it’s still manageable and then we blow their bullpen’s faces off for 4 innings and 10 runs. Really fucking crush them 

This pre-sale was a clusterfuck.  I got 1 ticket for game 4.  No matter what I did, it wouldn't let me add 2 SRO tickets for the same game.

my early time was 12. all i could get were sro for game 6.

The friend who I'm going with managed to get 7 tickets in all.

Fondly?  No, that song was terrible.  Nice gesture by the kids, though.

Just buy the rights and rewrite the lyrics to the Houston Oilers fight song.  It became iconic to Houston (never mind that we stole it from the Dolphins, their loss) and beloved.  The best fight song in pro sports.  Houston Astros = same # of syllables as Houston Oilers, it works. 

We really need Greinke to be in top form today since it's the biggest game of the season so far.  Try hard and have fun, guys.

Unfortunately with all of the season ticket holders being able to buy extras, they all see it as a way to invite others and/or sell. While the Astros restrict season tickets holders from selling more than 50% of the regular season, they are cool with the same people selling every playoff ticket.  Add to it that the Astros sell extras to their advertising partners and have to provide X amount to MLB, very little is left over for everyday fans.

You either have to know someone, get lucky, or be willing to buy on StubHub.  FYI, I'm seeing fewer tickets (3-3.5K) for the WS on StubHub than what has been there for the ALCS (>4K) Not surprising that the WS tickets prices are currently more than double than the ALCS.  This could be to be very expensive and enticing for those with tickets to sell.

My wife graduated there in 1990. Worlds collide! I’ve been to two reunions already.

I think the Stros take this game tonight. They always seem to rise to the challenge when nobody gives them a chance. I see Grienke returning to vintage form and throws 6 strong innings. Boys won’t rock Tanaka, but do just enough damage to be in the game come bullpen. 

 

Astros win this 6-5

12-4
We smash Tanaka
Grienke has another quality start
Abreu gives up a couple of garbage runs late in his first postseason appearance.

I'd love an easy, low-stress game for a change.

This offense can rake and now would be a hell of a time for some big bats to bust out of slumps and put the Yankees on the ropes.

It’s funny that the talking heads are acting like Tanaka is an almost unbeatable ace. He was barely average in the regular season. 11-9 with a 4.54 ERA.  1.24 WHIP. 1.7 WAR. Greinke was 18-5 with a 2.95 ERA. .98 WHIP and 5.5 WAR. Recency  bias to the extreme.

Don’t disagree. But you can also go back to 2017 ALCS and game 2 for this one. We haven’t lit up Tanaka in the postseason.

Well, his career ERA in the post-season is a shiny 1.32.  He's made 7 playoff starts and they've all been good-to-great.  So I'll tip my cap to him on that.  

But I stand by what I said last night: a lineup this good seeing a glorified junk baller for the second time in a week ought to be a recipe for some hits.

Verlander & Cole should go in Houston regardless of Thursday or Friday's results

Why? You pitch Verlander Friday in New York on normal rest and then have him on normal rest for game 2 of the World Series. You also try to win sooner and don’t put your back against the wall coming back to Houston.

With tanaka they need to start going the other way on his junk balls.

I loved the Oilers and that song, but I don't want to associate the Stros with the Oilers in any way

Abreu pitched in the first game of the series, but you would be forgiven for blocking out that memory.

I'll be happy if we don't watch 10 straight low velocity first pitch meatballs go for called strikes.

No Joe Buck for tonight's broadcast. He'll be in Denver for the Thursday Night Football Game.
