ASTROS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Erik Bedard returns to PNC Park
On the mound tonight will be the Pirates' two big pitching acquisitions from the winter of 2011/2012. AJ Burnett worked out quite well. Erik Bedard did not. Astro Erik Bedard looks a lot like Pirate Erik Bedard; there are tons of strikeouts, a lot of walks, hits all over the places, and just tons and tons of pitches. In eight appearances and six starts, Bedard's only thrown...
Brett Wallace – Familiar Face In A Familiar Place
Brett Wallace was once thought of as a top prospect within most Major League Baseball circles. Originally drafted 13th overall in the 2008 MLB Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals, he was the main centerpiece of a trade that brought over current Cardinals leftfielder, Matt Holliday, from the Oakland A’s to St. Louis.
Despite being so talented, his stay with the A’s was short-lived...
Astros rumors: Considering Jose Altuve extension
Over the past two years, the Houston Astros have been in the
business of trading away veteran players in hope of building a future contender
for years to come. Jose Altuve is one of the few remaining experienced players on
the roster, but Houston isn’t interested in trading him. Instead, general
manager Jeff Luhnow told Brian T. Smith of The Houston Chronicle that the Astros...
CUE 'YAKETY SAX'

The Rare ‘Walk-Off Error’ Loss Executed Perfectly By The Astros

Even Houston reliever Edgar Gonzalez thought it was all over as he skipped off the mound, unfortunately, the Astros are the Astros...
Video: Astros fielders collide providing Pirates with walk-off

As this GIF shows rightfielder Jimmy Paredes and second baseman Jake Elmore collide in the outfield, which allows the ball to drop and the winning run to score. Elmore said the crowd was too...
Houston Astros collide, allow winning run to score (GIF)
The Houston Astros are by far the worst team in baseball, so the way they lost Friday night’s game in Pittsburgh was quite fitting.
Houston blew a 4-1 and lost 5-4 after two players collided when they were trying to catch a pop up to shallow right that allowed the winning run to score.
The Pirates loaded the bases and Russell Martin was facing Edgar Gonzalez with two outs. Martin...
From the Jump to The AL to Stripping Payroll and More: Why the Astros Need to Slow Down
Houston Astros owner Jim Crane is a smart man. One doesn’t get rich and build global business without being as such. But there’s some advice that he needs when it comes to owning and running an MLB club, and it’s this:
Slow down.
I get that you saw the need to fix aspects of the organization. You might even have wanted to put your own stamp on it, but since before you purchased...
Astros’ Reliever Forgets To Take Off Warm-Up Jacket
The Houston Astros pitching staff is having a fairly solid 48 hours. On Sunday we were treated to one of the worst balks in MLB history and on Monday night Astros’ reliever Paul Clemens forget to take his jacket off before coming into the game in the sixth inning. Jordan Lyles was the culprit on Sunday and you can see his gem of a balk HERE. Paul, on the other hand, had a gaffe...
OH YEAH

Houston Astros relief pitcher Paul Clemens forgot to take his jacket off before leaving the bullpen to enter Monday night's game against the Detroit Tigers in the sixth inning. Clemens jogged to the pitcher's mound wearing the jacket after being called to replace starter Bud Norris, who left the game due to a back injury. Astros...
Houston Astros balk is most ’2013 Houston Astros balk’ ever
Houston Astros pitcher Jordan Lyles balked so badly that it can only be characterized as the perfect microcosm of the disaster that has been the Astros' first year in the American League.
Jordan Lyles Of The Astros Commits The Perfect Balk
Jordan Lyles of the Houston Astros did his team a favor and saved the embarrassment of the defense giving up an earned run on Sunday. Instead, Lyles had one of the more impressive balks we have ever seen, and we had it on replay in the office for quite some time. Someone should let Jordan know that it is OK for him to thrown the ball in that situation, and not OK not to. The Astros...
