This will be the proverbial "challenging" season for the Houston Astros. The team stinks, and will continue to stink all season. They have moved to the AL West so I don't think too many people will be staying up to watch or listen to West Coast games ending at or past midnight.
But very few games will be televised anyway. The Astros (and Houston Rockets) have started their own "Comcast Sport Network" which is not being carried by DISH, Direct TV, Uverse, etc. because of the high fees CSN is demanding.
As one enterprising local reporter put it, "If no one sees the Astro's games, do the losses actually count?"
"Don't Stop The Carnival." (You've got to play by Kinja rules.)
