Home Hoodoo Continues. Halos Hex Astros 2-0
Yes, hoodoo’s a word. It means jinx, hex, black magic etc. It’s why a team that just scored 27 runs in three games in the cold and windy city comes home and can’t conjure a run. Can’t buy, beg, borrow or steal a run against a tired staff that has surrendered 42 runs in its last 6 games.
But this hoodoo thing isn’t just a ghost story. At least not so far in 2018. Away from Minute Maid Park the Astros are the third best team in MLB,...
Angels starter Tyler Skaggs held the Astros scoreless on four hits for seven innings to outduel Gerrit Cole and send Houston to a 2-0 loss in the series opener. Houston had two on in the ninth with no outs, but reliever Kenyan Middleton struck out two in a row before Yuli Gurriel was thrown out at third trying to advance on a ball in the dirt. He was originally called safe, but the call was overturned after a review.
Angels vs Astros
I tried to make a game thread but apparently I don’t have permission.
Over the past 13 months, right-hander Charlie Morton has ascended from a relatively unheralded signing by the Astros to one of the top pitchers on a loaded Houston roster. The 34-year-old righty currently leads the American League with a 0.72 ERA and has posted a dominant 33-to-6 K/BB ratio. Dating back to Opening Day 2017, and including his postseason heroics, Morton has a 3.32 ERA with a 221-to-62 K/BB ratio in his past 195 innings.The righty, who turns 35 in November, has suggested in the...

Gerrit Cole was already good. Since being traded to the Astros in January, he's found a way to be even better.
See how the Astros prospects performed last night
AAA: Fresno Grizzlies (13-5) lost 9-4 (BOX SCORE)Martes made the start for Fresno last night but was roughed up again allowing 11 hits and 6 runs in just 4.2 innings.

Astros Sweep Series, End Road Trip 6-1
O Chicago, how can we beat thee?
Let me count the ways.
Hitting...After scoring 20 runs the last two games, the Astros followed up today with another solid seven run performance, knocking ten hits and coaxing 7 walks while keeping constant pressure on the beleaguered White Sox staff. Though not as proficiently as in the previous two games, the Astros bats bunched together clutch hits and plated runners in scoring position. Some dormant bats came to...The Astros open a 10-game homestand on Monday by sending Gerrit Cole to the mound to face the Angels at 7:10 p.m. CT. Cole (2-0, 0.96 ERA) has struck out 41 batters and allowed three earned runs in 28 innings through his first four starts.
The Astros sent 10 batters to the plate and pushed across five runs in the seventh inning, including a two-run, bases-loaded double by Marwin Gonzalez, and pulled away to win, 7-1, and sweep the White Sox for their sixth consecutive win.
Justin Verlander surprised heckles with a sign that said "No, you suck."
See how the Astros prospects performed last night
AAA: Fresno Grizzlies (13-4) won 7-2 (BOX SCORE)Fresno just keeps on rolling. Kemp, who had a big night, got the Grizzlies on the board in the 2nd inning with an RBI double. Reed and Stubbs added RBI singles in the 3rd inning to make it 3-0. Hauschild got the start and was solid once again allowing 2 runs over 6 innings of work. Fresno would get some insurance in the 8th inning scoring 3 runs on a Kemp RBI single, Ferguson RBI single, and...
Josh Reddick had a great night, but is he the new Astros cleanup hitter? When the Astros made a lineup move earlier in the week, it was to generate some offense. They have done that and more since the switch, but it was really only a matter of time before it happened. This offense is […] Astros: Is Josh Reddick the new cleanup hitter? - Climbing Tal's Hill - Climbing Tal's Hill - A Houston Astros Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

As the Bandits fight through a difficult early-season schedule, Astros prospect Jonathan Arauz is starting to make a name for himself. Like many prospects in the Astros farm system, prospect Jonathan Arauz is probably not a household name.

Anyone who decides to heckle Justin Verlander or the Houston Astros better think twice. On Saturday night, one fan at Guaranteed Rate Field decided to let Verlander hear it by ...
Hecklers going after professional athletes is a long-established tradition, as even the GEICO ads will tell you, but it’s always funny when the athletes turn the tables. With the Houston Astros on the road against the Chicago White Sox Saturday, one fan at Guaranteed Rate Field decided to spend a bunch of time yelling “They suck” at the Astros in general and pitcher Justin Verlander in particular. (Maybe she was annoyed by Verlander being annoyed by runner Tim Anderson stealing a...
The focus of the White Sox clubhouse Saturday centered on reliever Danny Farquhar and really nothing more, with tests revealing he suffered a brain hemorrhage during the sixth inning of Friday night's 10-0 loss to the Astros at Guaranteed Rate Field.
