Astros look even more foolish amid Nate Pearson's ridiculous Royals run (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Houston Astros may very well win the AL West this year. It's a notion that seemed unfathomable in the early going when the team crashed and burned out of the gate, but as they bumble towards the finish line, it's a real possibility, if only by default. However, the Astros aren't out of the woods yet, and if they collapse again in 2026, the pitching staff will be the reason why. A major reason why Dana Brown was let go was his complete and total inability to elevate Houston's collection of hu
4 biggest Astros mistakes that were made during the Dana Brown era (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Dana Brown era has come to a close as the Houston Astros and the embattled executive mutually agreed to part ways. The only thing surprising about the decision was the timing. At the time of the divorce the Astros were in first place in the AL West, and had just finished running Houston's draft and trade deadline. Brown arrived on the scene in January of 2023 and promised to lock up the Astros young stars. As it turns out, that was mostly an empty promise. He never arrived at an extension fo
Astros might be using emerging bullpen weapon wrong but there's still time for a change (opens the original)

The Houston Astros have an aging roster and are in desperate need of young talent on the rise. They've given a handful of youngsters a try, but the likes of Cam Smith and Brice Matthews have either wallowed in inconsistency or bitterly disappointed.

The 26-year-old leads MLB relievers with 80 1/3 innings pitched, often tossing multiple frames

Read excerpt
We don't want to count our chickens before they hatch. The Houston Astros are somehow in the thick of the playoff race, though it remains to be seen if they can hold on and take the AL West crown, a la 2024, or if they'll suffer the same fate they did last season, with them bitterly on the outside looking in come October. The club is always going to be hoping for the best, and as we march towards September, it's time to start thinking about the playoff roster. There are plenty of guys who have b
Astros dealing with troubling Hunter Brown trend at worst possible time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Who would have thought in mid-August that Peter Lambert would be the Houston Astros' best and most consistent starting pitcher? Well, here we are, and that is very much the case. The club's bets on reclamation starters went bust. The big dice roll on Tatsuya Imai has come up snake eyes. And the injury returns of Ronel Blanco and Hayden Wesneski haven't provided the boost they were hoping for. The Astros have sent Blanco down to Sugar Land after five games and a 7.71 ERA. The reality of the situa
