Astros "Hey guys, make sure to check us out on Fox Sports Southwest"

LSU "Uhhh....what channel is that again?"


1. They made a really shitty deal and switched to a new, shitty network called CSN Houston
2. I may be wrong, but FSNSW is now just FS1, regardless it'll primarily play Rangers games. (for this area)
3. Yeah, because LSUs never had to play games that are only available through another school's shitty website.

ETA: in other words, if you're gonna bash us for shitty tv coverage, do it right.

houston could have had a huge fanbase in LA when the zephyrs were their AAA and we saw them on FSN SW

They own the rights to the astros and the rangers. They choose to show the rangers. Because they own the rights, no one else can show the Astros in this market.

In addition, Baton Rouge is also blacked out of regular coverage because we are less than 250 miles away from Houston. So, if you have the mlb.com package, you won't see them either. It's a cluster
