In 2026, the internet is largely built around the “gotcha”. It’s chess. The goal is to corner the opponent into a logical error. Identify the error, and bask in the incandescent warmth of looking smart on the internet. Life is good. On the basketball internet, that often means an anonymous Player A vs Player B. […]
Nick Chubb spent 2025 with the Houston Texans on a one-year, $2.5 million deal, rushed for 506 yards and three touchdowns across 15 games, and watched his role diminish as Woody Marks pushed into a larger share of the backfield down the stretch. The Texans signed David Montgomery in March, closing the door on a return. Chubb is a free agent at 31 years old, carrying the damage from his 2023 knee injury that tore his MCL, damaged his meniscus, and tore his medial capsule. He is no longer ...
Only the Houston Astros this season could deliver angst and high drama after posting a whopping 9 runs in the first inning. What should’ve been a contest set on cruise control, quickly became a roller coaster affair, between dueling bullpens. Houston would hang on for a 10-8 win. Royals starter Luinder Avila […]
Before the Royals took an at-bat in the first inning, they were down 9-0. Before the Astros took their second at-bat, the Royals had made it 9-5. Neither starter made it through the first inning, but the bullpens held it there until the eighth, when the Royals added 3 more to make 9-8. The Astros […]
Despite all the trade rumors, the Houston Astros are very grateful to have Yordan Alvarez in their lineup. On Friday, Alvarez carved out a place for himself in history as he put on an offensive clinic against the Kansas City Royals, per Matt Kawahara of The Houston Chronicle. He became the first player in franchise history […] The post Yordan Alvarez makes Astros history with 6 run 1st inning vs. Royals appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Royals start the final series of their Texas homestand tonight, hosting the Houston Astros. Most analysts figured the Royals needed to go 4-2 on this homestand if they wanted to continue to work their way back from the depths they sank to with all their early-season losing. That’s still technically on the table if […]
TONIGHT’S GAME: The Houston Astros (31-39) continue a six-game road trip with the first game of a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals (28-41) tonight at Kauffman Stadium. RHP Tatsuya Imai (3-3, 5.24 ERA) will be on the mound for the Astros, opposite RHP Luinder Avila (1-2, 4.02 ERA) and the Royals. ABOUT IMAI: […]
The Astros have designated right-hander Ryan Weiss for assignment, as first reported by Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle. His 40-man roster spot will go to infielder Raynel Delgado, whose promotion was first reported yesterday by Francys Romero. Weiss was not on Houston’s active roster, but the Astros already cleared a spot for Delgado on the […]
The Astros missed the playoffs last year for the first time since 2016, but still finished with 87 wins. This year, the bottom may be dropping out, as they are tied for the eighth-worst record in baseball and are headed to their first losing season since 2014. Their dynasty run that included nine playoff appearances, […]
The Astros are currently 31-39 and in fourth place in the AL West, but the mediocre state of the American League has them only four games out of a Wild Card spot. Earlier this week, general manager Dana Brown pushed back hard on the idea of trading Jeremy Peña or Yordan Alvarez. Brown shared more […]
We asked, you’ve spoken. This was our initial survey post: June is a huge month for Houston, as they face primarily teams with losing records and need to show they can get back to .500 and legitimately chase a playoff spot. Here is what you said: More optimism than pessimism among readers, but not optimistic […]
Early in the season, I started a series called “The stages of suck.” The beancounters and powers that be informed me that this series was not well received. Apparently, the packaging was off the mark. However, it was based on a very clear premise that is still with us today. The Texans are a team […]
Another day of minor league baseball is in the books. See the results below. Check out the previous day’s recap here. AAA: Sugar Land Space Cowboys (28-38) won 2-0 (BOX SCORE) The offense got on the board in the 2nd inning on a Winkler RBI double. Perez added to the score with an RBI double in […]
Like most Astros enthusiasts, it’s always a cringeworthy moment when Houston ventures out to Kauffman Stadium. It’s the site of the 2015 ALDS with flashbacks of falling short Game 5 flooding the memory banks. The landscape today has a few holdover members from that clash, Salvador Perez and Jose Altuve to name a few, but […]
The Astros will select infielder Raynel Delgado onto the major league roster for the start of tomorrow’s series in Kansas City, reports Francys Romero. Houston acquired him from the Rays in a minor league trade yesterday. The Astros initially assigned Delgado to Triple-A Sugar Land but have instead decided to jump him straight to the MLB […]
Sometimes it feels like the media likes to just kick Houston Rockets fans while they’re down, and Tuesday and Wednesday were no different. I was just minding my business, scrolling on Twitter while thinking about how I will manage without Rocket’s basketball till October (depressing, I know), when I saw a tweet going around saying […]
Mike Gallo played his entire major league career in Houston. Today, we chronicle his journey to the majors and his time with the Astros. Q: What do you remember about your debut on July 2nd, 2003? A: I got called up from New Orleans and I was in minor league camp. That […]
Jeremy Lin revealed an emotional story about how desperately he wanted to stay in New York, stating that he was willing to reject a $29 million offer from the Rockets.
The Houston Astros acquired minor league infielder Raynel Delgado from the Tampa Bay Rays for cash considerations, with Delgado assigned to Triple-A Sugar Land. The move is a direct response to two consecutive infield injuries that have thinned Houston's upper-level depth. Nick Allen went on the injured list with a hamstring strain last week. Braden Shewmake followed with an adductor strain. Both are unavailable, leaving the Astros short on versatile infield options at the Triple-A level. ...
For the second time in three nights, it would require extra innings. This time however, the Astros wouldn’t be as fortunate as they were 48 hours earlier in the series opener, dropping the finale to the Angels by a score of 3-2. Former Astro Jose Siri would deliver the final blow with an […]
The Astros signed outfielder Trenton Brooks to a minor league contract. Although the team never formally announced the move, Brooks is tonight’s lineup for their Triple-A affiliate in Sugar Land. It’s another flier on a left-handed hitting outfielder for the Astros. They added LaMonte Wade Jr. on a big league deal last week, but he almost immediately […]
TONIGHT’S GAME: The Houston Astros (31-38) continue a six-game road trip with the final game of a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels (26-42) tonight at Angel Stadium. RHP Peter Lambert (5-4, 3.55ERA) will be on the mound for the Astros, opposite LHP Reid Detmers (2-5, 4.26ERA) and the Halos. The Astros have won […]
The Deshaun Watson era with the Cleveland Browns will be studied and debated for years to come. Watson arrived in town in 2022 after sitting out the previous season while in a dispute with the Houston Texans. All it cost the Browns was three first-round draft selections, $230 million in guaranteed money, and an immeasurable […]
The Houston Astros got better in the infield this week, as they made a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays to acquire Raynel Delgado. “The Tampa Bay Rays have traded minor league INF Raynel Delgado to the Houston Astros in exchange for cash considerations,” the Rays wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
