Breaking down Yordan Alvarez's chances of winning Triple Crown for Astros in 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
No season begins thinking you’re going to see an honest-to-goodness run at the Triple Crown. And yet, here we are. Yordan Alvarez started the season on a heater for the Houston Astros, and has really never gotten off it at any point this year. Now you look up, and he’s in the driver’s seat to lead the league in average, home runs, and RBI. The gap between now and the last Triple Crown winner isn’t quite as long as it was before the last one when Miguel Cabrera broke a 45-year drought in 2012 aft
Astros' late rally against Yankees doesn't change Houston's Ethan Pecko problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Houston Astros' bats bailed out the Astros on Tuesday night in the Bronx, and if you only look at the final score, it sure seems like a fun win. It was a back-and-forth slugfest with a late-inning rally to win 9-7 over one of the top teams in the American League. It gave the Astros a half-game lead over the Texas Rangers, who lost. Yainer Diaz hit two home runs. Jeremy Peña got one of his own. Yordan Alvarez tripled. It had everything you wanted in a road win. Well, almost. Ethan Pecko, maki
Timing of Dana Brown's firing is aggressive even by Jim Crane's standards (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jim Crane has moved on from general managers before, but he’s never fired one quite like this. The official word is that Dana Brown and the Houston Astros “mutually agreed to part ways”, but we all know what that really means. Brown was let go, and the timing makes very little strategic sense. The Astros are certainly not a good team. You can’t say a team under .500 as we inch toward September is good. But they are a first place team, as of the end of the weekend. And they are 10 games over .500
Astros' Jose Altuve resurgence is arriving when stakes couldn't be higher (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Houston Astros spent their Thursday night getting beaten down in their own ballpark. By the time the last out was mercifully recorded, the game felt less like an aberration and more like a referendum. With the Astros sitting at .500 and having lost four of their last five series, things weren’t looking great for them. Jeremy Peña now has a hand injury after being hit by a pitch. Carlos Correa hasn’t been in the lineup for months. The pitching staff has been bleeding runs for weeks. But in th
Astros' latest blunder vs. Angels another example of how Houston has bungled prime opportunities (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The American League West has been a mess all season, just begging someone to take it over. Nobody can stay over .500 for more than a few days at a time. The Rangers can’t hit. The Mariners can’t beat bad teams. The Athletics and Angels stink out loud. The Houston Astros were supposed to have taken control once they worked their way to the top and had stopped making life hard on themselves. So naturally, they dropped two of three at home to the Angels, the team with the second-worst record in the
