Gerrit Cole posted another fantastic start on Tuesday night and it left a lot of Astros fans concerned about what life would be like without Cole next year.

Cole will command top dollar in free agency, but many believe he is worth it and the Astros should basically write him a blank check.

ESPN 97.5's Joel Blank weighs in on the importance of re-signing Cole and cautions the Astros not to repeat the same mistake they made with Nolan Ryan. Point Blank is presented by Fitz Roofing.

How 3 unlikely Astros players are doing heavy-lifting for Houston

The Houston Astros have won four straight series and they're getting significant contributions from all over the roster.

Three under the radar names that really jump off the page and have been responsible for this recent run include Hunter Brown, Jake Meyers, and Martin Maldonado.

Meyers and Maldonado are swinging hot bats and playing their best ball of the season. Maldonado's batting average is finally up to .200 on the year. That may not sound like much, but it's a big deal for Maldy.

So, despite some struggles from Jose Abreu and Alex Bregman, the team is finding ways to score enough runs and win ballgames.

Plus, we react to the latest injury update for Lance McCullers and project a realistic outlook for his 2023 season.
