What is the difference between these Astros and past Astros?
Some pundits and general managers love to just tinker without looking underneath the hood. With the trade deadline coming next week and teams in the division already making moves, it is high time to take a look at the offensive side of the ball to see exactly what is going right and what is going wrong.
Sometimes the fix is right in front of you. When you can fix something without making a...

What do the totals tell us?
Editor's note: This was originally written after the completion of the Mariners series. The statistics cited here have changed slightly since then.
Admittedly, I am like a bad shopping cart that pulls to the right no matter which way it’s facing. If you ask me what to get at the deadline or in free agency I will almost always say offense. I recognize the need for more pitching and the importance of pitching, but good...

There was a time this season, most recently the middle of June, when I thought the Astros would sell by the trade deadline. Or, at least, the likelihood was higher than being a buyer or standing pat. I mean, Alex Bregman will enter free agency this winter and pitchers are always in demand. That thinking to be fair was entirely due to that brutal start. But thanks to a 28-16 record since June 1 and the mediocrity known as the AL West, they will...
The Astros could really use a durable arm, which is exactly what Taillon has been.

Behind a strong performance by their newfound ace, the Astros slugged their way out of a three game skid today and somehow leave Oakland better than they entered, one game ahead of the Mariners for first place in the AL West.
The Astros equaled their run total from the last two games in the first two innings, scoring a run on JP Sears in...

Why the Dana Brown shouldn’t make a big move at the deadline
I would love it if the Astros could win the Pennant every year. However, as much as the past seven years have spoiled us, this is not realistic. Yes, having a competitive team every season is sustainable, just look at teams like the Yankees, Rays, and Dodgers, but consistently making long playoff runs year in and out is not something a team can sustain over the long run. This is why the...
