Latest news and updates about the Astros
By no means has this season gone the way that the Astros had hoped. After they were swept by the Braves at home this past weekend, Yordan Alvarez, a man of typically few words, decided to hold a players-only meeting. What was said during that meeting is unknown, but I’m sure we can all guess […] The post We Are Watching the End of an Astros Era appeared first on Just Baseball .

What once seemed improbable became reality on Sunday, as the Red Sox secured their second straight postseason berth following the Astros’ loss to the Braves. A spot in the playoffs is the latest chapter in a wild and miraculous Red Sox season, one that began with their manager getting fired after 27 games, hit rock bottom when a late June series loss to the lowly Rockies pushed them to 32-46, and apexed during a magical 32-5 run that ranked among the best stretches in baseball history. Though ...
Cobb, Hornsby, Gehrig, Williams, Mantle, and Yastrzemski to name a few. It’s a rare blend of skill, power and timing. Only 17 players have done it, most recently Miguel Cabrera in 2012. In many ways, it’s the ultimate season accomplishment. The Triple Crown. The pride of Las Tunas, Cuba has dazzled us for […]

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Meg’s return from vacation and their podcast-producer search, then discuss the uncertain statuses of Aaron Judge, Alex Bregman, and Shohei Ohtani on the precipice of the playoffs, how similar finishes in consecutive seasons can produce extra-disappointing or surprisingly uplifting results (featuring thoughts on the Astros, Diamondbacks, and Cardinals), […]
The Astros announced Tuesday that they’ve sent Jorge Barrosa outright to Triple-A Sugar Land. The 5’6″ outfielder cleared waivers after being designated for assignment over the weekend. It’s the first career outright assignment for Barrosa. That technically means he needs to accept the minor league assignment, though it’s essentially a moot point. Sugar Land’s season […]

With a tragic number of two and still six games to go, all that’s probably left for the Mariners in 2026 is to play spoiler for others.

RBIs have been an official MLB stat since 1920. And yet, in all that time, not a single player has ever won an RBI title in both leagues. After 106 years, that looks like it’s finally about to change. Pete Alonso is poised to become the first player ever to lead the National League in RBIs in one season and the American League in RBIs in another. With less than a week to go in his first season with the Orioles, Alonso has 108 RBIs — nine ahead of Yordan Alvarez (99) for the AL lead. Barring a ...
In their heyday, the Dallas Cowboys would often win on Sundays simply due to the star on the side of their helmets.

The Houston Astros have experienced their own championship pedigree. What started with […]
