Grapefruit Juice: Mets 6, Astros 6

The Mets were bitten by the walk on Tuesday afternoon, and as a result had to settle for a 6-6 tie with the Astros at Clover Park. Each of the Mets’ ten pitchers issued a walk, and the team issued 13 walks in total on the afternoon—Houston walked just four. That, as Gary Cohen mentioned, […]

Catch Me If You Can, Astros Edition

The Astros Don’t Have to Fix Backup Catcher First, But They Absolutely Have to Fix It Houston Astros fans have spent the first stretch of spring training circling the obvious needs. A left-handed bat in the outfield. Another dependable arm for the rotation. Speculation around Isaac Paredes and potential roster reshuffling. Those conversations are fair. They’re also missing something. The […]

The case for the Rockets not doing anything drastic

There are 30 teams in the National Basketball Association. (How’s that for insight?) Some have it easier than others. That’s always been the case. The NBA practically has a caste system. Moving up a rung requires more maneuvering than Viola disguising himself as Cesario in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. Take the Washington Wizards. They are cosmically […]

Astros Spring Prospect Profiles: Zach Cole

Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be rolling out a series of prospect previews for Spring Training. This week we look at one possibly one of the highest potential players in the system: Zach Cole Zach Cole was selected by the Astros in the 10th round of the 2022 draft after hitting .361 as […]

Utah Jazz vs Houston Rockets Recap: Jazz can’t keep up on the road

The Jazz fell to the Rockets, 105-125, in a defeat that was all but assured ever since the opening quarter. Not that Jazz fans are complaining; with the next two games being against the Pelicans, where losses are far from guaranteed, an easy and relaxed addition to the teams ping pong balls versus Houston is […]

Rockets razz Jazz 125-105

Well, the season is saved! The Rockets scored a robust 125 points, held their opponent to just over 100, and essentially stomped their opponent from beginning to end. Wait, I’m getting word that their opponent was the Utah Jazz, a team that claims not to be losing intentionally, but their growing fines from the NBA […]

In The Lab: Astros Second Base Offense

This one is going to be a longer piece because I am adding some additional information. However, I think it is crucial information, so I hope everyone stays until the end. Officially, the Astros have three primary second basemen in camp. There might only be one on the final roster because Nick Allen can play […]

Houston Rockets vs. Utah Jazz game preview

The Houston Rockets wrapped up a tough seven-game stretch across the All-Star break at 3-4. It started poorly with two bad losses, but after a bit of recovery, Rockets fans should feel like there was meat left on the bone in losses to the Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks. On paper, tonight’s game […]

Rockets crumble late against Knicks, fall 108-106

Houston’s effective offense and solid board play allowed them to take a commanding early lead, going up to 18 points in the first three quarters.

Let’s Overreact to Astros First Spring Training Game

The Astros opened their spring training schedule with a 2-1 loss to the Nationals on Saturday afternoon in West Palm Beach. While no veterans were in action, Joe Espada’s lineup was littered with guys fighting to make the Opening Day roster, making the first half of the game somewhat interesting. Here are some notes and […]

Rockets could reach an inflection point this Summer

So, yeah. Uhh… This is awkward. A burner. In a group chat full of “stan” accounts. Speaking poorly of his teammates. What? Well, it’s a testament to your poor judgment if you expect emotional maturity from NBA superstars. This man has been exalted for 20 years. Shame is likely less of a variable in his […]

Game Preview: Knicks vs Rockets, February 21, 2026

In Thursday’s loss to Detroit, every Knicks (35*-21) drive into the paint looked like a LaMelo Ball driver’s ed video. Tonight, they hope for better results when they host the Houston Rockets (34-20) at the Mecca. This nationally televised tilt is a match-up of two third-place teams. The Knicks have gone 7-3 in their last […]
