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, […]
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 […]
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 […]

Well, if any burner-account related insecurities are seeping into this team, they’ve yet to reveal themselves yet. The Houston Rockets have played their first games since LB started tracking their 2026 first-round pick that is owed to the Sixers, going 2-1 in their first three games post-All Star break. That features wins over the Charlotte […]
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 […]
According to Sarah Todd, it appears that Vince Williams Jr. may have suffered a season-ending injury in the Jazz’s game against the Houston Rockets. If you haven’t seen the play, Williams took a shot from Tari Eason coming down the court, and his knee appeared to hyperextend sideways. After the game, it looks like Keyonte […]
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 […]
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 […]

The New York Mets (2-1) defeated the Toronto Blue Jays (1-2) by a score of 4-3 today at TD Bank Park in Dunedin. The Mets play the Astros tomorrow at Clover Park at 1:10pm. The game will be broadcast on SNY.
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 […]
If you watched any portion of Juventus loss to Como over the weekend, you would have noticed that Kenan Yildiz was hacked at by opposing players — a lot. Some were called fouls, others weren’t, but either way Como players who had the task of trying to slow down Yildiz were doing just that by […]
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 […]
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. Early in the fourth quarter, the Knicks were behind 91-75, but they totally turned the tide thanks to defense and clutch shots, pulling off one of their largest comebacks of […]
On Thursday, in their first game since the All-Star break, the Knicks (36*-21) fell way short yet again to the Detroit Pistons. Tonight, they faced off against another tall and physical team, the Houston Rockets (34-21). Through the first quarter, the Knicks set the pace, passed beautifully, and played great defense, but a second-quarter sag […]

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 […]

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 […]
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 […]

O’Connell, along with Houston Texans’ head coach DeMeco Ryans, was named to the NFL’s Competition Committee […]
