Latest news and updates about the Astros
Texas Rangers lineup for May 26, 2026 against the Houston Astros: starting pitchers are Jack Leiter for the Rangers and Jason Alexander for the Astros. Sigh. Its another game. The Rangers have tried their very best the last several games not to get hits, and accomplished that yesterday. Hopefully today will be different. Josh Jung […]
Our 19th entry features pitcher Sean Bergman, who in 1998 would pitch 172 innings for the Astros, while allowing only 42 walks en route to a dozen wins. Q: How much did you know about the Astros prior to being dealt for outfielder James Mouton? A: I knew absolutely nothing (laughs) when I came there. […]
Astros 9, Rangers 0
To make a memorable entrance, timing is everything. That’s what happened on April 6, 2026, when the Colorado Rockies pulled off a come-from-behind win over the Houston Astros. Sure, the win was great, but fans probably also remember the debut of the Rockies purple home run coat. The coat announced its presence after Troy Johnston […]
Tatsuya Imai (W, 2-2) hurled 6 innings of no-hit ball, Yordan Alvarez and Christian Walker homered and the Houston Astros (24-31) pummeled the Texas Rangers (24-29) 9-0 in the first game of their four-game series at Globe Life Park in Arlington. It’s a huge mark for Imai, who was making his 6th start of the […]
The Texas Rangers had zero hits but the Houston Astros scored nine runs. I think in some regards it is at least interesting that we are getting to experience the worst lineup that perhaps the Rangers have ever fielded in franchise history. It certainly isn’t pleasant but at least it’s historic. All you really need […]

As frustrating and inconsistent as this season has been for Astros fans, one question is becoming impossible to ignore: how much trust should this fan base have in general manager Dana Brown between now and the end of the season? The timing of that question matters because, despite early struggles, injuries, and inconsistent play, the Astros remain […]
Texas Rangers Pre/Post Game Host Jared Sandler from 105.3 The Fan KRLD-FM joins us to preview the upcoming four game tilt from Globe Life Field. Q: How big is this 4-game series for each club? A: I’m just not a big believer that this time of year truly shapes or defines the rest of the […]
It rained all morning on the North Side of Chicago, but by game time the rain had left the area and it became a beautiful, sunny, late spring afternoon at Wrigley Field. The sky might as well have kept on pouring, because the Astros rained down three home runs off Shōta Imanaga and defeated the […]
Christian Walker continued his hot streak with a 3-run homer, and Nick Allen went 3-for-3 with a solo HR and 2 RBI as the Astros (23-31) held off the Cubs (29-24) 8-5 to complete a 3 game sweep in Chicago. Peter Lambert (W, 3-4) survived a tough 2nd inning in which he allowed 3 ER […]
Go get ‘em, Shōta.
The latest news on the Houston Astros and from around MLB: Jose Altuve doesn’t think his injury is as serious the one he had in 2023: Yordan needed a day off but is feeling better, per Joe Espada: Can the Astros pitching continue to normalize and maintain it’s recent improvement? (Astros starters have a combined […]

Sunday notes… Cubs lineup: Astros lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. Peter Lambert, RHP Shōta Imanaga’s last start was… not up to his previous efforts this year. The Brewers hit him hard.

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 (21-29) lost 6-0 (BOX SCORE) Weiss started for Sugar Land and allowed 5 runs over 5.1 innings while striking out 6 batters. It was a quiet day for the offense […]
So let me get this straight. After Friday’s loss to the Astros, here’s what Cubs manager Craig Counsell said he would do: So what do we get as “something different”? Pete Crow-Armstrong leading off, Nico Hoerner batting cleanup and Ian Happ getting a day off. That’s it. That’s not a “different look,” in my view. […]
Christian Walker homered in both of his first two ABs to drive in all 3 Astros runs, backing 6 shutout innings by Kai-Wei Teng as the Houston Astros (22-31) shut out the Chicago Cubs (29-23) 3-0 at Wrigley Field. The Astros have now won 3 of their last 4 games, and 5 of their last […]

Today’s roster move: Here Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: Astros lineup: Colin Rea, RHP vs. Kai-Wei Teng, RHP Colin Rea’s last start was pretty bad, so let’s try to ignore it. (Yes, I know you can’t really do that.) In fact, over his last five starts Rea has posted a 7.04 ERA and 1.913 WHIP and […]
