I should start by acknowledging the elephant in the room. According to reporting from Bob Nightengale, Joe Espada has been informed that he will not be receiving a contract following the season. I should point out that Chandler Rome is refuting those comments and quotes directly from Jim Crane himself deny those claims. Which reporting […]

Yankees setup man Fernando Cruz has a partially torn UCL, manager Aaron Boone informed reporters after tonight’s win over the Astros (relayed by Brendan Kuty of The Athletic). The righty is seeking additional opinions as he weighs whether he’ll require surgery. In either case, it’s difficult to imagine Cruz pitching again this season. Surgery would very […]
In the end, Bennett Sousa just wasn’t up to the task. Yankees 9 Astros 3. The Astros would once again get on the board first. Isaac Paredes drew a two out walk and scored on a Jose Altuve double. However, the lead was short-lived as in the bottom of […]
Right out of the gate, it looked like this could be a repeat of last night’s back and forth slug fest, the two sides trading the lead as early as the first inning. That pattern continued until the seventh, when the Yankees broke the game open scoring four runs on five hits. In total, New […]
Carlos Correa’s season was supposed to be over in May. The Astros infielder underwent surgery to repair a tendon tear in his left ankle three months back. Houston announced it would be a six to eight month rehab. Correa progressed to running and defensive drills by the first week of August. He recently resumed batting […]
Going into Wednesday afternoon, the Mariners were hoping to really turn the screws on the Astros and Rangers atop the division by sweeping a formidable National League opponent. As it turned out, this wasn’t to be; the Mariners dropped the series finale to the Phillies. The Phillies jumped out to an early lead in the […]

The Yankees lost in gut-punch fashion last night, the offense continuing to claw their way out of the summer swoon by putting up seven runs, only to see the bullpen blow multiple leads en route to a loss to the Astros, 9-7. The bats face a tougher test today relative to yesterday’s replacement level starter […]
It may not have mattered in the end, but it sure was big at the time. Pete Crow-Armstrong led off the 6th inning with a double, then advanced to third on a grounder by Seiya Suzuki and remained there when Alex Bregman popped out. Then, with Michael Busch at the plate, PCA took an aggressive …

Yordan Alvarez's dominance is making him historically difficult to pitch to.
Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez loves hitting at Yankee Stadium, and Hall of Famer David Ortiz would be proud.
Houston Astros owner Jim Crane is cleaning house, but that does not mean he is going to authorize a rebuild. These Astros are good as gone after the season.
As the New York Yankees start the week with a series against the Houston Astros, you probably noticed the continuation of a recent trend. That trend is that of four straight left-handed hitters at the top of the lineup: Trent Grisham, Ben Rice, Luis Garcia Jr., and Cody Bellinger. As much as the current numbers […]
The Houston Astros currently lead the AL West, but it has been a slight struggle this year. This has led Astros owner Jim Crane to move on from GM Dana Brown. The removal of the GM has led to questions of if Astros manager Joe Espada’s job was in jeopardy. Now, Crane is speaking out […]

Astros fans, take a minute to consider what just happened and ask yourself a potentially uncomfortable question: Did Jim Crane just pull the plug on General Manager Dana Brown, or did he potentially pull the plug on the Astros’ chances of winning the division and making the playoffs, too? That may sound dramatic, but consider […]
The Yankees had Houston where they wanted them twice on Monday night. Then the bullpen gave away a game that had no business getting away.
Happy Wednesday, everyone! As we barrel headlong towards the last month of the regular season, some teams are starting to take a look at their results and decide it’s time to make sweeping changes. We certainly haven’t seen the last big changes we’re likely to see over the coming weeks, but just in recent days, […]

The Astros parted ways with general manager Dana Brown on Monday, leaving the organization without a clear baseball operations leader. Owner Jim Crane is technically running the front office with input from the team’s three assistant general managers — Charles Cook, Gavin Dickey, and Connor Huff — plus senior advisor Jeff Bagwell. While the club’s […]
The Astros took their first bite out the big apple on Tuesday Night, and it was a big one. Astros 9 Yankees 7. Game one of the post-Dana Brown era had a different feel with a much-needed result. Call it desperation, call it sharper focus, patience at the plate, or just unwavering […]
