2019 Houston Astros Thread

Not a huge fan of the Maldonado pickup.  But I’m very glad we are using him a bunch more to get Chirinos plenty of rest before the playoffs.  We were using him way too much and way more than he’s ever played. 

So you’d rather have Stassi/Stubbs? We got him for a guy we’d already cut.

I’d rather have Stassi.  He’s a better hitter and better at catching the ball, blocking the ball and framing.  But it isn’t some huge difference.  The thing Maldonado does really well - throwing out runners — isn’t that important in 2019.  

Again, the difference isn’t that much.  Catching talent is scarce.  And Maldonado is a backup.  So it is a minor nit pick.  And the fact our pitches love Martin trumps my bitching.

anyone using smart dns proxy and have all of the games this weekend blacked out?  I can't figure out what's difference about this series
 

When you say “all the games” do you mean the 3 Astros/angels games?

Yes, and I think I had the Dodgers/Yankees games blacked out too...

Pretty sure whichever server it’s sending me through is in the LA area.
Other games worked without an issue.

I tried changing up the DNS addresses too but no luck.

My free trial is up in a few days. Need to mess with it a few more times otherwise I’m giving up. I want to watch dodgers games down the stretch without having to toggle to a different router.

Yeah on the astros/angels.  I have tried DC, Atlanta and New Jersey servers.  I wonder if there's some stupid blackout this weekend because of players weekend.

The only thing different about players weekend is the stupid jerseys and names.
LA area games weren’t working for me before Friday either.

I heard back from their support already.  You have to log in to your Smart DNS account and change your Channel D region to Germany and it should work for you  The default for that one is the UK.  It fixed mine.
