NFT: Yankees/Giants Fans: What Game Are You Watching on Thurs.?

Jim in Tampa : 10/8/2018 1:49 pm
As a die-hard Yankees/Giants fan it just occurred to me that I may have a tough choice coming up on Thursday night, as both teams could be playing at the same time.

Of course I realize that a deciding game five on Thursday is not a given and that either the Yanks or the Sox could take the next two games and wrap it up by Wednesday night. But with the series tied at 1-1, after a season series that was 10-9 (in favor of the Sox)…What seems more likely to you…one team winning the next two or a split forcing a deciding Thursday night game?

Normally I value Giant games over Yankee games, even playoff Yankee games, because there are far fewer Giants’ games in a given year. If this was any Yankee game other than a series deciding game I’d be watching the Giants and checking out the Yankees during the commercial breaks.

Now I’m not sure what I’m going to do if this happens.

If you’re a Yankees/Giants fan, what’s your TV viewing game plan if they’re both in primetime on Thursday night?
I'm hoping Yanks win the next two

Same here but I'll also have the DVR going for both, because I know they'll both be intense and hard for me to concentrate on just one of them. I will probably end up just making the Yanks on TV the priority.

That said, I like everyone else here just want the Yanks to wrap it up in 4!
I'll be at the Giants game, so lucky to not have to make a choice

Normally I'd prioritize the Giants game and flip to baseball during breaks in play.

Regular season Yankee game I would too but not an elimination playoff game.

Yanks will be my priority and I hope I can pull off watching the Giants on the IPad. If not I'll watch it on the DVR after the Yanks win. Thankfully I'm off Friday so I can pull that off if need be.

mitch300 : 10/8/2018 2:48 pm : link
watching both with dual tuners( Direct tv) watch one for about 5 minutes,pause and then do the same on the other games. There is so much dead time on both games you really don't miss much.
I'm  
dorgan : 10/8/2018 2:56 pm : link
watching the Giants. Love the Yanks, but I'm a football guy first.
I may not get to watch either  
superspynyg : 10/8/2018 2:58 pm : link
unitl later..

I have a softball double header on Thur at 7 and 8pm. We are short players only 9 so I pretty much have to go. If not they forfeit and miss the playoffs.

Weather calls for a high chance of rain so I am praying for a rainout.

I might watch

Chris Stapleton is incredible. but if there's a game 5.....
Absolute no-brainer...  
BC Eagles94 : 10/8/2018 4:08 pm : link
if it is Yanks-Sox Game 5...I will only watch the Yanks game. Will flip to Giants during commercials only. Giants are 1-4 coming off a 3-13 season. They don't deserve my time over the Yankees, simple as that.

Probably this. I have VueTV and will have both on. I will probably pause one during big moments on the other.

But I have to hope we get a gem from Sevvy tonight and smash Porcillo tmrw so that there is no game 5
Yankees on TV with my 100% attention  
Aqua Giants : 10/8/2018 5:35 pm : link
Giants 0% abandoned on the side of the road.

MAYBE if they were playing someone else, I would give my attention to the Giants but they're playing Philly. Automatic loss.

This team is pathetic.
I'll be on a Delta flight

from Orlando to Detroit. Hopefully one the handful of Dish TV stations that the Delta flight carry will have have one of the games.
Easy - the Yankees

of right now were supposed to have Hurricane type rain on Thursday night, unlikely the Yankee game is even played on Thursday with the current forecast.
The bigger decision  
MetsAreBack : 10/8/2018 10:04 pm : link
Is whether to watch the 1-4 Giants...

...Or the 0-3 Rangers...

... or skip both and go with some porn
