What's really going on behind Astros strangest controversy of the season

PULL BACK THE CURTAIN

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?

The Houston Astros sent a message loud and clear with one of their most emphatic wins of the season, an 18-1 demolition of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and they did it without Yordan Alvarez or Jeremy Peña in the lineup.

Jose Altuve silenced the Dodger Stadium boos with a pair of home runs and even stayed after the game to sign autographs for young fans. Lance McCullers Jr. delivered six strong innings in a bounce-back outing, and the offense erupted behind big nights from Zach Short, Cam Smith, Yainer Díaz, and Christian Walker.

With key contributions across the board, this was a total team win, one that highlights the depth, momentum, and legitimacy of this Astros squad as the second half approaches. Manager Joe Espada is pressing all the right buttons, and with All-Star nods for Josh Hader, Hunter Brown, and Peña, Houston looks like a team no one wants to face right now.
