  • Jordan Lyles (1-1, 8.36) vs Jeanmar Gomez (2-0, 2.28) These are your LOLstros. For much of the last two decades, the Pittsburgh Pirates have been synonymous with baseball incompetence. They've shown strong signs of starting to turn that around in the last two years, and they're looking even ... read more...

  • HOUSTON (AP) -- J.D. Martinez hit a two-run homer off James Shields, Jordan Lyles pitched six effective innings and the Houston Astros beat the Kansas City Royals 3-1 on Wednesday night. Lyles (2-1) allowed one run and six hits in his 50th career game. Travis Blackley and Hector Ambriz each got three outs before Jose Veras pitched a perfect ninth for his eighth save one n... read more...

  • I have very mixed feelings about the DFA's of Ankiel and Humber. One the one hand, they very clearly were not getting the job done, and it was becoming painfully obvious that they had no future on this team. On the other hand, their absence will make finding fodder for Astros Stats much more difficult. Yes, they were awful, but they were very interestingly awful, and now the... read more...

  • Box score As he has done his entire career, Bellaire High’s Chris Young made himself quite at home Friday night with plenty of friends and family cheering for him at Minute Maid Park. With his hometown Astros clinging to a two-run lead with one out in the top of the ninth, Young deposited  a 1-1 [...] read more...

  • Tommy Milone (4-5, 3.47) vs Erik Bedard (0-2, 6.00) So much for Jose Veras' success streak. A five-run 5th had Houston in position for their first win over Oakland this season, which lasted until the 9th. But Veras walked himself into trouble, then Houston native Chris Young made his family in the stands h... read more...

  • The Houston Astros are winning, the hot dogs are selling, and all is right with the world at Minute Maid Park. But not inside a men’s restroom. Cell phone video shows a ball park snow cone vendor sitting on a toilet in a stall with an entire box full of the products he’s about to sell. They sit on the bathroom floor right next to him. The person who recorded the video and ... read more...

  • I am in a good mood, baseball wise. The Astros took a series against a decent Royals teams (seriously, it was the first series win against a team anywhere near .500. More on that later). Reid Ryan is the president. The snow cone guy got fired, relatively quickly. All around a good week. Because of that, this week in Astros stats will definitely have a rose tinte... read more...

  • The Houston Astros got another good outing from their starting pitcher, and their bullpen was just fine for a change. J.D. Martinez hit a two-run homer off James Shields, Jordan Lyles pitched six effective innings and the Astros beat the Kansas City Royals 3-1 on Wednesday night. Lyles (2-1) allowed one run and six hits in his 50th career game. Travis Blackley and Hector... read more...

  • The Astros have an almost unending list of options to choose from if they want to lose 100 games for the third consecutive season and leave a three-year mark as one of the worst franchises in baseball history. Right fielder Jimmy Paredes’ embarrassing E-9 that turned a win into a loss, first-year manager Bo Porter’s [...] read more...
