ESPN Houston's John Granato & Lance Zierlein opened the show discussing just how bad some elements of the Astros have been. For instance, for the seventh game in a row, the Astros have only scored in one inning.

Against the Mariners in this series, the Astros are hitting .180, with two extra-base hits, 33 strikeouts, and four walks.

What's even more troubling, is Houston produced three quality starts in this series, and have no wins to show for it.

Also, as good as Kyle Tucker has been, a lot of his production has come from beating up on below average teams like the A's. In this series against quality Mariners pitching, he's 0-10 with two walks and four strikeouts.

Which begs the question; is it time to bury them? In May? LZ thinks so, but John sees a lot of wins coming for Houston against the Twins, Cardinals, Angels, Giants, Tigers, and White Sox.

Who's right?

There’s been plenty of buzz about the Texans making moves during this year’s draft, and they didn’t waste any time proving it true.

Just hours before the 2025 NFL Draft kicks off, Houston has pulled off a trade with the Cleveland Browns.

Houston is sending a 2025 5th round pick and a 2027 5th round pick to Cleveland in exchange for two 2025 6th round picks and one 2025 7th round selection.

While it's no certainty, it sure seems the Texans are trying to acquire as much capital as possible in the 2025 Draft to help them maneuver up and down the board over the next three days.

Texans GM Nick Caserio has a reputation as a wheeler and dealer, and this year is clearly no exception.

Will the Texans use this capital to move up in the first round? We're about to find out!

Go Texans!
