The Houston Astros for most of this season have been underperforming and that is reflected in their record. However, after a sweep last weekend of the very dangerous Baltimore Orioles, it’s fair to wonder if the Astros are lurking, like the bogeyman, waiting to make their move in the 2024 season.
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about why Houston could be one of the most dangerous teams to face, especially when they have Framber Valdez and Ronel Blanco pitching in the same series, and their offense really starts to click. Can the Astros take advantage of a division that is still wide open? Time will tell.
Also in this episode of Baseball-B-Cast Rodthe guys talk about Paul Skenes continuing his brilliance on the mound for the Pittsburgh Pirates, pitching like he’s still trying to get promoted to the big leagues, Steven Kwan’s great success at the plate since returning from injury, and Giancarlo Stanton landing on the injured list. once again for the New York Yankees.
Jack and Jordan close out the weekend recap episode by talking about the first tee between the Colorado Rockies and Washington Nationals and why it was inevitable it would happen at the always crazy Coors Field.
