What's really going on behind Astros strangest controversy of the season
PULL BACK THE CURTAIN
13 September 2023
One of the pleasant surprises this season for the Houston Astros has been the breakout offensive performance from outfielder Chas McCormick.
However, his playing time this season has been a big point of controversy. Recently, The Athletic published a piece about the situation, revealing that McCormick's weight has been a point of contention for Dusty Baker, according to the report.
Could McCormick's weight really be the reason Baker hasn't committed to Chas as the team's everyday center fielder?
Be sure to watch the video above as we try to make sense of the report.

Nick Chubb has officially passed his physical and joined the Texans for mandatory minicamp on Tuesday — and with that, Houston’s running back room just got a lot more compelling.
In this episode, we dive into what Chubb’s arrival could mean for the entire backfield, starting with Joe Mixon, who was reportedly in a walking boot this offseason. With questions swirling about health, roles, and long-term upside, the Texans suddenly have a lot to sort out in one of the league’s most intriguing RB rotations.
We explore whether Chubb is a true upgrade over Mixon, if the Texans are making a smart bet on his comeback, and how much of his 2024 production can be chalked up to injury recovery. Plus, we break down how Dameon Pierce fits into all of this — and who might ultimately be the best option behind a potentially limited Mixon.
Texans fans — is Nick Chubb the X-factor this team needs, or just another name in a crowded backfield? Let’s get into it. ESPN Houston's Jeremy Branham and Joel Blank break it all down!
