Some of us don't get txa21 but still get blacked out of other venues to watch the game.

Ahhh, gotcha, I used to hate when we were considered in the Houston market, then for whatever reason they switched to the Dallas market a couple years ago

hmmm couple years ago...probably because more and better teams to follow in Dallas market equaling better ratings would be my guess, but its only a guess

that does suck to not be able to see a Darvish start though!

Sadly, the biggest concern about Darvish pitching is wondering if we'll get shut out or not. The offense doesn't like to show up for Yu. I think 5 of his losses last year were 1-0 scores....

ill just imagine a perfecto i guess

 

[gregrey972]

well the Astros do have Feldy on the mound as well. 1-0 game in 10 innings with Rangers winning as Darvish finally comes out and the offense then decides to score for the next pitcher in the 10th.

Predicting us to win today 7-3.

Just give him 3 runs. That's all I ask.

 

[gregrey972]

I like KK and all but please hurry back Belts! he is hitting 5th in this line up!

 

[terpsfball09]

I will say though I like Rios in the 3rd spot... beltre in the lineup or not.... please dont kill me

Love his speed when prince is up and the shift is on. Its harder to hold runners with that shift, plus the running threat might let prince see more fastballs. Another factor of this is that he'll almost always be hitting with a runner in front of him because the two guys in front of him have been great so far.

I may be wrong about this, but the 50 or so games I've seen Rios, I also thinks he handles the bat a little better as far as control goes. Not saying hes a better hitter, but I think he's able to control where he hits the ball a little better.

Like I said, dont kill me. Just observations

I believe it was 4. Regardless, that's a lot no matter if it's 4/5 or even 3 for that matter.

Who is your cable or satellite provider. FWIW TXA21 has moved from DTV 675-1 to 676-3.

Romeo ... its on DTV 675-3 for us outside the metroplex. Entire OK (and AR in my case) is in the TEX market so you should be able to get it just like we always have.
