October 17, 20196 yr 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.
October 17, 20196 yr 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. shelby18@hotmail.com or message me Edited October 17, 20196 yr by Borachio
October 17, 20196 yr 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.
October 17, 20196 yr 2 minutes ago, Player said: Upper deck was best available for 2 together when I purchased at 9am. Thanks, it was the same for the ALDS.
October 17, 20196 yr 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.
October 17, 20196 yr 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.
October 17, 20196 yr 10 minutes ago, kevwun said: 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.
October 17, 20196 yr 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.

October 17, 20196 yr 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.

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.
October 17, 20196 yr 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.
October 17, 20196 yr 24 minutes ago, kevwun said: The friend who I'm going with managed to get 7 tickets in all. 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.
October 17, 20196 yr Go Cats! - CCHS ‘90My wife graduated there in 1990. Worlds collide! I’ve been to two reunions already.
October 17, 20196 yr 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

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.
October 17, 20196 yr 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. Edited October 17, 20196 yr by TonyTexas

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.
October 17, 20196 yr 9 hours ago, Pimphand said: 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.

October 17, 20196 yr I'll be happy if we don't watch 10 straight low velocity first pitch meatballs go for called strikes.
