HOUSTON — When you consider his 13 years as a player, 18 years in the broadcast booth, five seasons as a manager and various other times he felt compelled to go the ballpark, Larry Dierker has probably seen more Astros games in person than anyone else. That’s around 6,000 games, which would account for more than half of the games in c...
ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers have six games left in the regular season and a one-game lead in the American League West, and none of those games come against the Houston Astros.

We know where the regular season will end. In front of roughly 10,000 at sleepy Sutter Health Park, home to the Sacramento River Cats and their joint tenants, the A’s. The question is whether or not the Astros will be playing beyond this Sunday. Many (myself included) thought the divisional crown would come down to […]

It was a very scary moment during Sunday’s game against the Reds when Michael Busch hit a foul ball that Alex Bregman was unable to avoid as he warmed up on deck. Al already summarized what we know from the injury (and there likely won’t be another update until tomorrow due to today’s off day), […]
Astros fans, your team is running on empty. The problem is the pedal is already to the floor, the finish line is approaching, and there may not be anything left in the tank. Once again, the Astros dug themselves a massive early-season hole. Once again, they somehow fought their way out of it and made […]
The Braves clinched the NL East over the weekend with a sweep over the Astros, returning to the postseason as a top-three seed after a brief one-year hiatus — and the path they’ll face is beginning to look quite familiar. NL Division Winners Milwaukee Brewers (98-68) Los Angeles Dodgers (96-60) Atlanta Braves (92-64) — The […]

The Red Sox have clinched a postseason spot. It was… anticlimactic. The Sox allowed 4 runs before recording a single out yesterday and never made it a competitive game against the Rays, only securing their playoff berth via the Braves defeat of the Astros. They are just 9-9 over the month of September and have […]
Okay, the Braves clinched the division. It felt like it was a long time coming at some point, and then they reeled off a sweep of the Astros in Houston, and here we are. That it happened without any kind of collapse is a testament to just how profoundly bizarre the 2026 Braves team is: […]
The Astros' mini dynasty didn't end in a day, even if it might feel that way.
Alex Bregman left Sunday’s game was taken to a local hospital to undergo X-rays and a CT scan after taking a foul ball to the cheek as he stood in the on-deck circle. Michael Busch checked his swing on an inside pitch from Reds righty Luis Mey, and the ball caught Bregman like an elbow … The post Alex Bregman Shares Image of Swollen Face, Says ‘I’ll Be Back’ appeared first on .
When Chief Editor Patrick Creighton approached me in March about contacting former Astros greats for a “Legends Series”, I originally thought we’d feature a player per homestand. However, what materialized was an avalanche of activity. By the time the dust had settled, 35 men spanning every era joined us exclusively at The Crawfish Boxes to […]
We have arrived at the final week of the 2026 MLB regular season, and there is still a lot to be sorted out before the postseason field is set.

Nobody expected Alex Bregman to get hurt before he even stepped into the batter’s box. But that is exactly how his Sunday afternoon ended. A 97-mph fastball from Luis Mey caught Michael Busch’s bat on a check swing, and the foul ball shot straight toward the on-deck circle, striking Bregman in the face. The Cubs […] The post “I’ll Be Back”: Cubs’ Alex Bregman Sends First Message as Foul Ball Hit Leaves Him Hospitalized appeared first on EssentiallySports .
Once again, the Braves are the Beasts of the NL East. For the first time since 2023, the Braves have won the 2026 NL East Division.

A Yastrzemski hasn’t suited up for the Boston Red Sox since 1983. As for the last time a Yastrzemski sent the Red Sox to the postseason? Try today. Ronald Acuña Jr. Basketball Jersey Giveaway is Sept. 24! With a win or an Astros loss, the Red Sox could clinch an AL Wild Card berth on Sunday. In theory, Plan A — winning a game — sounds simpler. In practice, the team to beat was the Rays at Tropicana Field. No luck there. Boston surrendered four runs before retiring a batter in the bottom of the...
