Latest news and updates about the Astros
Zebby Matthews got off to a shaky start tonight, with a Jeremy Pena single and Isaac Paredes 2-run homer. However, after that, he settled into things and was able to go 6 innings, scattering 5 hits and striking out 6 along the way. All he needed was the Twins lineup to give him a modicum […]

The Houston Astros starter was scratched from his scheduled start today vs. Minnesota. The Astros have placed RHP Lance McCullers Jr. on the 15-day IL (retro 5/16) due to right shoulder inflammation. The team also optioned UT Shay Whitcomb to Triple-A Sugar Land. Houston has reinstated CF Jake Meyers and RHP Nate Pearson from the Injured List. […]
The Mariners haven’t been very much fun to watch this year. Sure, the run differential is positive. The fun differential, though? Stinky. Trash. Probably sitting about where the 19-30 Houston Astros run differential is, near the bottom of the league (the sentence is clunky, but please allow me this opportunity to bully the Astros). Most […]
Who’s Hot At The Plate? Chase Call – Call was selected by the Astros in the 16th round of the 2025 draft. The outfielder had a monster week for Asheville hitting .556 with 3 doubles, 3 home runs, 10 runs batted in and 3 stolen bases in just 4 games. He has a .857 OPS this […]
It was a stormy night in Minneapolis and no one from Cory Provus to the players on the field thought this game was going to go a full nine innings. The field was a mess, Astros shorstop Jeremy Peña turned the field into his personal slip-n-slide, but no one, and I mean NO ONE, was […]
After fracturing his ankle in batting practice, Carlos Correa does not make his big return, but he’ll be felt in spirit. We’ll have to settle for Christian Vazquez instead. Today was originally Simeon Woods Richardson’s turn through the rotation, but after a disastrous start to the season, manager Derek Shelton will go with rookie Kendry […]

The frustration surrounding the Astros this season is completely understandable. When a team enters the year with playoff expectations and instead finds itself battling injuries, inconsistency, and a record sitting 10 games under .500, fans have every right to be disappointed, if not down right ticked off. But despite all the negativity surrounding this team […]

He was a cornerstone of the A’s dynasty, winning three consecutive World Series Championships in the 70’s with the A’s. For Houstonian’s he’d serve as bullpen coach on the beloved 1986 squad that fell just short to the Mets in a 16-inning marathon. Our 16th entry is a man who collected 6 rings throughout his […]
