Quick question for the crowd....what's your preferred playoff game-watching set up? Do you go with the TV feed only? Astros PBP radio only? Or do you try to sync your video feed at home with Ford and Sparks? Or do you prefer to hear the live feed first and then watch the TV from the future?

I’ve settled in to a rhythm of listening to the national/TV guys for the first 2-3 innings/first time through the order to a) get a sense of the national/other team perspective that Ford/Sparks may not cover and b) that’s about all I can take before I’m extremely annoyed of the national guys.

then, it’s mlb at bat app audio with ford/sparks over Bluetooth on the surround sound synced with TBS.
 

for Fox in the World Series, I’ll have to figure out something else because a) I can’t stand a single second of Buck/Smoltz and b) I have Fox over the air so TV will be way ahead of streaming audio, but don’t want to delay video just to hear Ford/Sparks. Hopefully the local Astros radio affiliate will be synced up with TV

got by credevirus, amazing

[WBT 20131]

those were both low blue

[TonyTexas 10378]

This ump is really calling the low strike. Consistent and good for Framber

Yep

time for our guys to adjust 

[clapclapclap 8998]

Brantley looked to be in a lot of pain running and sliding into second, on the base cam.

[QuesoEspecial 255]

Snell is a goofy looking dude...weak chin covered up by weaker facial hair...Go Stros!

[VirginiaLonghorn 4717]

I don’t see a whole lot of energy from the Astros. That needs to change!

Agreed.

[UTexasFight 9288]

Back to back jacks this inning from the bottom of the order should help with that

[runthebone 7874]

Be nice to get something from the bottom of the order for once

[WBT 20131]

2 walks for Yuli.  That's the kind of thing we should take advantage of.

[Macklemore 2825]

How about a double play followed by a pop out?

[Macklemore 2825]

Snell is pissed

[Lat22 3941]

I know it will fall on deaf ears but I’m going to say it anyway. 
 

Bunt.

[UTexasFight 9288]

Machete got this clown

[TexArcher 36903]

This is it!

[Guest]

ok, from the MLB Managers overthinking shit, why now?  and more specifically, why Castillo?

Isn't it a bit early for him?

Castillo’s frisbees to not lend themselves well to bunting.

i’d rather take my chances of getting a cement mixer and putting it on the LF balcony

thanks for the rec

I was really just asking about personal preferences. I couldn't watch the ninth last night, had to listen to the radio feed only.

I think it was obvious he still had plenty in the tank.

I'd want my guy to want to stay in too.

[WBT 20131]

Making the bullpen throw 5 tonight can only help with tomorrow

Great call! Great bunt 

[cabowabo 4379]

Great job.

[Lat22 3941]

I don’t believe what I just saw.  

[TexArcher 36903]

Perfect sac bunt.

Pay it off!!

[clapclapclap 8998]

Well dang, I guess we wasted a bunt.

[WBT 20131]

George!

[Macklemore 2825]

Goooo!!

[clapclapclap 8998]

Big balls small ball

[Limp Brisket 529]

Hell yes!!!

Terrible read by Aledmys.  Luckily he still scored.
