Bassitt hounds Astros, O’s hit two grand slams in big 10-3 win

It’s almost a shame the Orioles have another game of baseball to play today, because it’s going to be hard to top their game one performance. The O’s opened a doubleheader with an all-around fantastic win over the Astros, 10-3. Chris Bassitt posted his most impressive outing as an Oriole by a long shot, shutting […]

When Is It Time for the Astros to Pull the Plug on Brown? Espada? Imai?

At what point do the Houston Astros decide enough is enough? This question isn’t just about the players on the field, it extends to leadership at every level, from the manager to the front office. Around Major League Baseball, we’ve already seen organizations take decisive action. The Boston Red Sox recently made sweeping changes, moving on from Alex Cora and […]

These 4 Players Have Disappointed Most Through 30 Games

The first 30 games of the 2026 season have been nothing short of a disaster for the Astros. Tuesday’s loss in Baltimore dropped their record to an AL-worst 11-19. Only the Phillies, who have fired their manager, and Mets, who could be next, have fewer wins across the sport. The struggles have been team-wide, but […]

Orioles news: Orioles begin series with win over visiting Astros

Good morning Birdland, That was the sort of win this team was built to pull off. Shane Baz provided his best start as an Oriole, earning his first win in the process. Gunnar Henderson set the table, stole a base, and scored twice. Adley Rutschman, Pete Alonso, and Samuel Basallo combined for five hits and […]

Shane Baz and the Orioles handle the Astros, 5-3

Tonight marked the third series in a row in which the O’s have faced a last-place team. Are the Orioles a good team? We’re not sure. But right now, Houston has the worst record in the American League and is down a whole outfield, a shortstop, practically an entire bullpen…   Surely, given the depleted […]

Tuesday night Orioles game thread: vs. Astros, 6:35 pm

Tonight begins the third series in a row in which the O’s face a team currently sitting in last place in its division. It’s unusual to find the Astros resembling that remark, as they’ve been consistently good for the better part of a decade, making the playoffs eight times in the last ten years. The […]

So, who on the Yankees is allowed to challenge balls and strikes?

I’m writing this before the Yankees take on the Rangers Monday night, so it’s subject to change, but at this moment Jazz Chisholm Jr. is the worst player in baseball when it comes to the ABS challenge system. His 14 percent success rate is the lowest in the sport, and this weekend against the Astros […]

New York Yankees vs. Texas Rangers: Series Preview

Outside that pair of series against the Athletics and Rays, this Yankees team has been pretty adept at quickly brushing off losses. That’s something they’ll look to do in the backend of this road trip after missing out on a sweep opportunity against the Houston Astros. After Luis Gil’s increasingly disappointing efforts on Sunday—ultimately leading […]

Luis Gil torched by Astros, Yankees fail to sweep

The Yankees had already locked up their third-straight series win, but were unable to notch their third consecutive sweep on Sunday in Houston. Astros hitters had a perfect gameplan to attack starter Luis Gil — although they may not have needed one — and the Yankee lineup was unable to counter against Spencer Arrighetti. Even […]

New York Yankees @ Houston Astros: Luis Gil vs. Spencer Arrighetti

It’s been a good week. The Yankees swept Boston and likely played a non-insignificant role in that org’s excising the majority of its MLB coaching staff (including skipper Alex Cora), and then New York came down to Houston and have taken the first two games against their hated Astros. Last night’s win was driven by […]

New York Yankees @ Houston Astros: Ryan Weathers vs. Mike Burrows

The Yankees are rolling, and suddenly the offense looks awake again. After a brief April slowdown that had some fans uneasy, New York has responded with the type of outburst everyone had been waiting for. After feasting on the Royals in the Bronx, sweeping Boston at Fenway Park, and then opening the Houston series with […]
