The Texas Longhorns picked up a monster commitment from 247Sports five-star offensive tackle Tyler Johnson over the weekend. The Nation's No. 7 ranked player at his respective position chose the burnt orange over a plethora of elite college programs.

Johnson's pledge moves Tom Herman's program into the top 15 of the 247Sports team recruiting rankings. Texas has been successful at Oak Ridge lately as they also signed elite 2018 defensive end Joseph Ossai in February.

At 6-5, 308-pounds, the first-team all-district selection is currently the highest rated Longhorn pledge in the 2019 class.

When the Astros signed Josh Hader to anchor the back of the bullpen with Ryan Pressly and Bryan Abreu, we thought the club might have the best 'pen in MLB.

But at this early stage in the season, nobody is confusing these guys with Octavio Dotel, Brad Lidge, and Billy Wager.

Heading into the ninth inning on Monday night, the Astros handed the ball to Hader trailing the Braves 2-1. Instead of keeping the game close and giving the Astros' offense one more chance, the Braves teed off on the closer putting the game out of reach and ultimately winning 6-1.

Hader has one save on the season with an ERA over nine. Which has us wondering, do the Astros have a Hader problem?
