While another season without Justin Verlander is about to begin, the team’s most experienced pitcher is Zack Greinke, who will be a free agent after this season. Greinke is among a large pool of Astros free agents that holds Carlos Correa, […] Houston Astros: Zack Greinke’s stance moving forward - Climbing Tals Hill - Climbing Tals Hill - A Houston Astros Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

Astros Spring Training Game Thread 2. 3/1/21. 12:05 CST
West Palm Beach, Florida, USA; Houston Astros reliever Nivaldo Rodriguez | Rhona Wise-USA TODAY Sports Carlos Correa and Yuli Gurriel get their Spring Training debuts against the Nationals. The outcomes of Spring Training games have little meaning. A team’s Spring Training performance has little value in predicting regular season success. But there are little stories embedded in the games that do have meaning, and for the Astros this year one of the questions that Spring Training might answer is, who will replace George Springer and how well will he do it. One game...

It’s time to understand the sign-stealing scandal is behind the Astros
Photo by Harry How/ 2021 will be a challenging time for the Astros, but also a new opportunity to prove how big of a heart this team has. In 2021, the Astros won’t face easy circumstances. They won’t have George Springer anymore, they’ll play without Justin Verlander in the final year of his contract, and will have Carlos Correa, Zack Greinke, and Lance McCullers Jr. playing in their walk year. But those are things every team goes through sometimes. What the Astros can’t allow themselves to worry about is the sign-stealing scandal that needs to be part of the...
