Latest news and updates about the Astros
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers lost another frustrating one last night, falling 2-0 to the Astros. Evan Grant writes about Justin Foscue’s big mistake late that cost the Rangers a chance to tie. For most of the night Jack Leiter hung with a pitcher that nearly threw a no-hitter, so that’s something Jacob deGrom will […]
After dropping five of six, the Yankees got back on track yesterday with a strong showing against the Mets at Citi Field. Cam Schlittler outdueled Clay Holmes, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Spencer Jones had timely hits, and Ben Rice’s solo shot off Craig Kimbrel was the icing on the cake in a 5-2 win. It […]
Astros 2, Rangers 0
The Texas Rangers had one hit but the Houston Astros scored two runs. If you thought perhaps the Rangers’ miraculous ninth inning comeback win on Wednesday evening would help them carry over some momentum to their first matchup against the Astros this season, well, how silly of you. Instead, tonight’s game nearly proved to be […]
ODAY’S GAME: The Houston Astros (17-28) will continue their seven-game homestand today as they look to win the opener of a three game series against the rival Texas Rangers (21-22). Astros starter RHP Spencer Arrighetti (4-1, 1.88 ERA), who tossed his fifth straight quality start his last time out, will oppose RHP Jack Leiter (1-3, 4.85 ERA) and the Rangers in this series opener.

We’ve entered into a bizarro world where a series against the Astros can be viewed as a “get right” series for the Mariners. Back in April, the four-game sweep of Houston pushed Seattle to a game under .500 and 1.5 games back in the AL West. This latest series win in Houston pushed Seattle to […]
Much of the Astros issues tie back to Crane’s decisions (or lack thereof). Is he willing to step up and fix them, or is he willing to eat his words? “I made a statement the other day that as long as I’m here the window’s open. So I’ve got to live up to that.” Those […]
Another day of minor league baseball is in the books. See the results below. Check out the previous days recap here. AAA: Sugar Land Space Cowboys (19-23) lost 4-3 (BOX SCORE) Sugar Land got on the board in the 2nd inning on a Biggio solo home run. They got another run in the 6th inning […]
Jerry Mumphrey spent 15 seasons patrolling various outfields across the majors, including a stop with the Astros in the 80’s which saw him earn his first and only All-Star selection. The pride of Tyler, Texas joins us today for our 15th installment of our continuing Legends Series. Q: So many great athletes have come through […]
Good day folks and happy Friday! The Mariners bounced back in a big way yesterday, rolling past the Astros in an 8-3 series finale victory. Despite a lofty 36.1% strikeout rate, Luke Raley’s hot season with the stick continues. Do you believe in his performance so far, or do you expect him to come crashing […]
There are lofty expectations for anyone that gets signed to a contract with an annual average value of $60 million. In the case of Kyle Tucker, it appeared as though the expectations were too tough to reach throughout the beginning of the season. Tucker was performing at a below league-average rate over his first 33 […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Today is the start of MLB’s “Rivalry Weekend,” which pits most teams across the league against their closest regional foes. You’ve got the Yankees versus the Mets in the Battle of New York. You’ve got the Rangers versus the Astros in Texas’s Battle of the Boot. You’ve got the, uh, Mariners […]

After last night’s fully-cursed game, the Mariners have just one game to play before they get to get out of Houston and return home to Seattle. Luis Castillo will take the ball for Seattle. Lineups: News: Unfortunately it’s bad news for the Mariners. Cal Raleigh is headed to the IL for the first time in […]
TODAY’S GAME: The Houston Astros (17-27) will continue their seven-game homestand today as they look to earn a four-game series split with a win against the rival Seattle Mariners (21-23). Astros starter RHP Mike Burrows (2-4, 5.04 ERA), who tossed 7.0 shutout innings his last time out, will oppose RHP Luis Castillo (0-4, 6.57 ERA) […]
For Astros fans, this season has been a harsh reminder that baseball is not always fair. What once looked like a team capable of another miraculous turnaround is now a club dangerously close to rock bottom. Unlike last season, when Houston managed to claw its way back into the divisional race, this year’s team appears […]
Another day of minor league baseball is in the books. See the results below. Check out the previous day’s recap here. AAA: Sugar Land Space Cowboys (19-22) lost 6-1 (BOX SCORE) Ullola started for Sugar Land but lasted just 3 innings allowing 3 runs, which all scored in the first inning. The offense got on the […]
Good morning everyone! I hope you’re all having a great week so far. The Mariners couldn’t hang on during a tough game against the Astros last night, falling 4-3. Though Cal Raleigh may have been injured during the contest (we’ll likely learn more today), it was a very encouraging return for Bryce Miller. What did […]
I’m not going to argue one way or another, I’m just throwing the question out there. The Braves got Mauricio Dubon in a salary dump. The Honduran utility man had a standout defensive year in 2025, accumulating 2.2 fWAR in just under 400 PAs, but that wasn’t enough for the Astros to be interested in […]

He’s back. Bryce Miller takes the mound for the Mariners for the first time since the 2025 ALCS. He’s sat out the first 43 games of the new season with an oblique injury, after missing large swaths of last season with bone spurs in his elbow. I wrote before the season in our 40 in […]
Bill Gullickson spent portions of 18 seasons pitching professionally in the states, Canada and Japan. As Houstonian’s collectively held their breath with Tatsuya Imai, we caught up with Bill as part of our continuing legends series and began the conversation with the land of the rising sun. Q: Imai has been getting a crash course […]
Good morning everyone! The Mariners are coming off one of their more satisfying wins of the season, with Randy Arozarena and Dominic Canzone leading the squad to a 10-2 victory over the Astros. Has Randy’s hot start to the season changed your mindset on whether or not the M’s should extend him beyond this season? […]
