Watch the Astros via the Rangers broadcast

I do suggest watching the Rangers broadcasts, every once in a while, when they play us, as their announcer's commentary offers a different perspective on our team, org, and stadium. I try to listen to the other team's announcers whenever I'm traveling and use the mlb app, or listen on the radio (for the same reasons).However, it's easier for us Texans to cheat on our crew during the Rangers series, as we get their games on our TVs too (at least I do in Austin).TK and Blummer are great, but like most announcers, they use catch phrases and the same descriptions over and over, which is a bit monotonous for 162 games, so different perspectives makes the games more interesting (like Baggy for a few series). For the most part, the other announcers emphasize how talented the team is, how nice Minute Maid Park is, etc…I do get some tidbits that I never knew, like Minute Maid park's grass is known as one of the worst playing surfaces in the league, and it has been discussed that they may go back to artificial.
