Below are some prospects that have stood out recently. Hitter – Walker Janek Janek was seen as the best defensive catcher in the 2024 […]
Engagement is always a double-edged sword. Nobody wants to scream into the void, but with engagement comes disagreement and ultimately arguments. No one in Houston and no one rooting for the Texans argues more than about the state of the offensive line. It’s a seemingly annual affair with dedicated fans feeling let down year after […]
After Monday night’s loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, tonight’s game will determine the winner of the season series between these two teams. Maybe now that the Houston Rockets lost the first game, they will lock in and play with more intensity and might actually, you know, make some shots. I think Ime Udoka should […]

The start of NFL free agency has come and gone, with a lot of the big-ticket names having come off the board. That included a number of trades, like the Cleveland Browns adding OT Tytus Howard in a trade with the Houston Texans. While the Browns added a number of other offensive linemen, the team’s […]
The Deandre Ayton era in Los Angeles has been a rollercoaster ride. In the best moments, Ayton has been as joyful as anyone on the team and a walking double-double. The lows, however, include games in which he seems disinterested in playing and reports of his dissatisfaction with his role on the team. Despite the frustration that […]

The fact that the Sixers trying to keep their own pick this year has become a real conversation is astounding. To say it’s been a rough couple of weeks for Philadelphia is an understatement. Thanks in large part to having four different starters go down for an extended period of time with injury, they’ve plummeted […]
Since their first World Series run in 2017, the Astros have produced, traded for, and developed a huge amount of pitching talent. From Cy Young winners like Dallas Keuchel and Gerrit Cole, to future Hall of Famers like Zack Greinke and Justin Verlander, the Astros have had no shortage of pitching excellence in their domination […]

The Rockets scored four points in about a seven-minute stretch of the fourth quarter, as the Lakers went on a […]
When the Lakers and Rockets last met on Christmas Day, it was a very revealing game for LA. The Lakers were run off the floor and forced to really begin searching for answers to questions that it took them some time to solve. Quite a bit has changed for the Lakers since that blowout loss, […]
The Lakers survived an ugly, ugly fourth quarter of basketball to come away with a sixth straight win, knocking off the Rockets on the road, 100-92.

As the calendar moves deeper into March, many baseball fans have found a welcome distraction in the World Baseball Classic. For Astros fans like me, it has been exactly that, a high-level brand of baseball played with passion and intensity at a time of year when we’re usually stuck parsing spring training box scores and […]
The Astros seem like they’re reaching the end of their decade-long contention window. They missed the playoffs last year for the first time since 2016, ending a run of dominance that included seven division titles, four AL pennants, and two World Series championships. Instead of restocking their roster with a bunch of high profile moves, […]
In our most recent Rangers Reacts survey, we asked you wish team in the American League West you disliked the most.

The fallout from the first week of free agency had a significant impact, both positive and negative, on […]
The AL West is an intriguing division to unpack. Last year was a bit of a turnaround, as the Astros failed to win it in a full season for the first time since 2016, and actually missed the playoffs for the first time since that season. The Mariners project to be the crema of the […]
Sometimes when we go over numbers things get missed. In this case, there were a few arms that got left out of the conversation and I would be remiss if I didn’t at least address them as camp is coming to a close. Some of the names are names you are familiar with, but they […]
