11am: “Astros are hiring Joe Espada as their next manager”.
3:15pm: Texans knock off the Bengals.
8:15pm: Rockets beat the defending champion Denver Nuggets for their 6th straight win.
Good morning, good afternoon and goodnight.
What a day for Houston sports.
Seeing that Jackson Mahomes is trending on Twitter this morning but then reading that Jackson Mahomes is trending because he was roasted by a small business for continuing to be a jackass.
This FS1 replay of the Kendall Graveman-Martin Maldonado-Carlos Correa strike em’ out, throw em’ out double play in the 2021 ALCS against the Red Sox will forever give me goosebumps.
#LevelUp
There is no question that Martín Maldonado played a pivotal role in this Golden Age of Astros baseball.
- 6 straight playoff appearances
- 3 World Series played in with 1 chip
- Behind the plate for 2 no-no’s
All love for Machete. 🫡
INJECT THIS INTO MY VEINS!
2019 ALCS unbelievable double play by Michael Brantley + 2021 ALCS strike em’ out throw em’ out by Kendall Graveman /
@Machete1224
. Both were massive momentum swings in the top of the 7th with 1 out. Just insane.

It’s crazy to think back to Game 1 of the ALDS with the Astros being down 7-3. Bregman homers in the 8th, Hensley and Peña with huge ABs in the 9th that led to Yordan hitting a postseason changing bomb. Insane.

Yordan Alvarez is the best hitter in the American League and arguably the best hitter in Major League Baseball. Alvarez should be the starting DH in the All-Star Game, not Shohei Ohtani.

Since his return from West Palm Beach, Jose Abreu is hitting .167. For the season, he’s hitting .124. The Astros CANNOT continue to put him in the lineup. The experiment is over and it’s time to part ways.
#Relentless
Only watched one inning of the World Series tonight and two things come to mind:
1. How the hell did the Phillies lose to this Diamondbacks team in the NLCS?
2. How the hell did the Astros not win ONE of two final games at home to get back to the World Series?
#WorldSeries
The Astros have played in front of the worst of the worst in terms of insults, boos, beer bottles thrown at them, inflatable trash cans, players families harassed & f*ck Altuve chants. Being at the “most inhospitable place” is just another day at the office.

We lost my Mom unexpectedly yesterday at the young age of 69. She was the sweetest, smartest, intelligent and most of all, resilient person I’ve ever met. My heart is shattered but we stay strong and take peace in knowing she’s with my sister now.
I love you, Mom.
Youre telling me the dude who was 1 of the main proponents in the Astros AND Red Sox scandals could find himself in a front office? Meanwhile, Jeff Luhnow was exiled from baseball & AJ Hinch will always have a stain on his resume. Don’t ever tell me the Astros weren’t a scapegoat
It'll be interesting to see if Alex Cora emerges as one of the candidates to run Boston's baseball operations. He has a broad range of experience, and others in the organization felt he increased his presence in the player development this year.
Imagine watching the Rangers win their first World Series title in franchise history and the first thing you think to do is tweet about the Astros, lol. Lamest fan base in all of sports.
When it is finally unsealed, the Yankees letter is just going to be further proof that Rob Manfred/MLB used the Astros as a scape goat and covered up a league wide cheating problem.
Aug 1, 2016: Astros trade Josh Fields & receive Yordan Alvarez
Aug 1, 2023: Astros re-acquire Justin Verlander at the trade deadline
Aug 1, 2023: Framber Valdez throws one of the most efficient no-hitters in MLB history

Why is that?

If Carlos Correa doesn’t resign with the Astros, I don’t care where he goes as long as it’s not the Los Angeles Dodgers or the New York Yankees.
#PayTheMan
The Astros have been to 6 straight ALCS’, made 4 out of the last 6 World Series, have two World Series titles and their core group of players locked in for at least the next 3-5 years. Take that crystal ball back to the pawn shop and get your money back because it’s broke af.
Mike Fiers ratted out the Astros because he was butthurt that Justin Verlander was brought in at the trade deadline and then he found himself left off the Postseason roster. He didn’t give a shit about “changing the sport”.
Sorry for the bad link. Here is the correct one. And about the book. It is the most detailed look yet at the Astros’ culture and MLB culture that led to one of the biggest scandals in the sport’s history.
Red Sox fans booing Jose Altuve is hilarious knowing their own team got caught cheating two different times and their manager is known cheater Alex Cora lol.
Y’all know that ole saying, “if you can’t handle me at my worst then you don’t deserve me at my best”?
Well, if you can’t handle me at an

I don’t care if the Red Sox score 8 more runs or if they’re held scoreless for the rest of the game, you take Jake Odorizzi’s pitch count and throw it out the window. Let him throw 120 pitches if you have to and save the bullpen.
