After failing to record a hit in the Houston Astros’ ALDS win over the Seattle Mariners, Jose Altuve struggled to get going in Game 1 of the ALCS against the New York Yankees. Altuve did not notch a hit in three at-bats against the reigning AL East champions, although he did manage to reach base […]

The Houston Astros really might be the AL version of the Los Angeles Dodgers, which is kind of funny, given how intertwined the two franchises are after one of the biggest controversies in MLB history five years ago. The 89-49 Astros are blessed with immense position player and pitching depth that rivals even that of […]

As the Houston Astros hold a commanding 10.5-game lead in the American League West, they have their sights set on not only making the 2022 MLB playoffs, but winning the whole thing. With just around a month left in the regular season, what could be the biggest elements of their roster that will hold them […]

The Houston Astros did not draw a ton of attention this season. Much of the talk around baseball has been about the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets. Quietly, the Astros have been cruising for a few months. Pair that with the Yankees struggles and Houston finds itself five games up […]

This past Sunday was a special day for the Houston Astros, as they hosted hundreds of family members and friends of victims of the tragic Uvalde, Texas shooting in May. The Astros hoped that in their own little way, they would be able to bring some comfort to the people directly impacted by the unimaginable […]

The Texas Rangers got the better of Alex Bregman and the Houston Astros to the tune of an 8-4 score Wednesday to even up the three-game series at Minute Maid Park. It took a bold managerial decision from Chris Woodward to ensure the Astros didn’t steal a win in the bottom of the 10th after […]

Alex Bregman is a World Series champion, 2-time All-Star, and 2019 MVP runner-up. The Houston Astros third baseman was once considered one of the best players in MLB. Despite dealing with injuries in 2021, Bregman still posted a quality season through 91 games. But he is enduring a terrible 2022 campaign so far and manager […]

A potential American League playoff preview took place over the weekend as the Houston Astros hosted the Toronto Blue Jays.

After the Blue Jays took Friday and Saturday’s matchups, the Astros roared back with an 8-7 victory […]

The Houston Astros’ April woes continued on Saturday as they fell to the Toronto Blue Jays by a 3-2 final score. Not much went the Astros’ way on offense over the course of the game. Third baseman Alex Bregman opened up the contest on a stern note with a two-run home run in the first […]

The Houston Astros enter the 2022 MLB season looking to defend their turf once again in the American League West. It’s a division that the Astros have won in four of the last five seasons, though the Seattle Mariners at least pushed Houston a bit this past year, securing 90 victories. The Mariners and Los […]

The Carlos Correa era with the Houston Astros officially came to an end earlier today, as he opted to sign with the Minnesota Twins on a three-year, $105.3 million deal. The agreement between both sides includes opt-outs after the first two seasons, and more so, Correa is now the highest-paid infielder in MLB today based […]

The talented three-headed monster of Alex Bregman, Carlos Correa, and Jose Altuve made the Houston Astros must-see baseball in recent years. But with their World Series defeat to the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night, it looks like the inevitable breakup is on the horizon. Correa has already made it clear that he won’t return to […]

The Houston Astros will face off against the Atlanta Braves in game six of the World Series Tuesday night. Atlanta is currently leading the series 3-2 and they can win the World Series with a win. The Astros have announced that Luis Garcia will start on three days of rest. Garcia pitched in-game three and […]

What the Atlanta Braves have done without Ronald Acuna Jr. is mind-blowing. Acuna tore his ACL in July which ended his season, but he led the National League in runs scored and wins above replacement(WAR) at 4.2. It is crazy to say, but if Acuna didn’t go down, there’s a chance the Braves wouldn’t be […]

The Houston Astros, losers of four straight after a 6-1 opening to the 2020 season, will be without four starters — including 3B Alex Bregman and 2B Jose Altuve — for at least the next 10 days per MLB.com’s Brian McTaggart, due to COVID-19 protocols. Astros place Yordan Alvarez, Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, Robel Garcia, […]

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Joe Kelly didn’t hold back when it comes to the Houston Astros. Appearing on teammate Ross Stripling’s Big Swing Podcast, the flamethrower called out the “little b***h” Astros for being “snitches” for their role in a cheating scandal that shook the whole league. Kelly was recently suspended eight games for […]

LeBron James’ star power and allure might have reeled in Anthony Davis as his partner in crime, but the other side of the coin has seen another star leave his agency of choice, Klutch Sports. According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman recently parted ways with Klutch due to […]

At long last, the World Series has arrived. Months and months of drama and toiling have led to this moment, though the narratives could not be more different.

Despite the best efforts of the Tampa Bay Rays, the American League Championship Series will feature arguably the two best teams in baseball. The Houston Astros and New York Yankees will meet in the ALCS for the second time in three years. There is every reason to believe that this series can be just as […]

The American League is reminiscent of an MLB video game arcade mode, in such that any plethora of players on the top of their game can be chosen on any given night and it shows simply how dominant they truly can be. Pitchers and position players alike, the AL seems to be the best conference […]

So much for a quiet MLB offseason. While the first few months of the winter felt fairly quiet, the signings of Manny Machado and Bryce Harper appear to have created a butterfly effect on the rest of the league. The Los Angeles Angels–feeling the pressure of retaining the best player in baseball–awarded Mike Trout with […]

The Boston Red Sox were the story of the 2018 season, and at the center of it all was right fielder Mookie Betts.

In one of […]

While seeing how close the team was to making that next step, […]

Sitting courtside at an NBA game is a great experience, but it does come with a few risks. Patrons are just feet away from the action, which sometimes spills into the crowd.
