No, I get a free to air high definition digital telecast
Unfortunately the games don't start until around 11pm and so I am almost asleep by the 5th dig
The telecast is fantastic,direct via satellite or internet feed, I'm not sure how they do it these days but its very good for sure.

The next game is coming on later today. It should be interesting.
It seems like the home ground is quite an advantage.
The Giants are bringing in a new pitcher from what I can see.

Lets hope it is a great game May the best team win!

How about the job Bumgarner and Giants did to wrestle away momentum away from the Rangers!

Hopefully Lee and the club can extend the series. C'mon Rangers

The Rangers might need to get Nolan Ryan out of the stands and on the mound for an inning

I heard him on the Dan Patrick show today. Great interview I always liked Ryan. Patirck asked him if he could give an inning at his age of 63. He laughed and said "Oh yeah."

I hope Texas have a great game tonight

That umpire in game 4 was calling pitches in the dirt as strikes what the heck was all that about.

Well it just shouldn't happen at that level of the sport. They should have substituted him like they do a pitcher who is having an off day.

The thing is he didn't just do it once, he did it quite a few times and I think that Texas suffered significantly as a result.

Very good observation; and it wasn't just that game...and shrinking the strike zone overall when a pitcher lives on the black like those that have pitched in the series for tx has definitely hurt them more than the giants imho. but not to detract what the giants have done...i give them all the credit
