I need a method of catching the radio calls of the ST games. SiriusXM doesn't carry them until Opening Day.

Between LSU and high school games this year, I’m not going to need anything more than box scores from Spring, aside from the occasional telecast on the Space Network, or whatever they call it now

It's smart of NASA-TV to diversify since Elon is kicking their arse now.

Hindsight is 20/20 but wonder what we could’ve gotten for him in a mid season trade a few years back

Blummer says Espada made it an area of emphasis to be aggressive on the bases this season. Altuve may set a record for most outs on the bases.
