Description
KHOU 11 Sports Anchor Jason Bristol and former scout Jeremy Booth provide their unique perspective on the Houston Astros, big league baseball and scouting amateur and professional players in this regularly scheduled podcast.
In this episode, Bristol and Booth examine the Astros current hitting and pitching issues.
Many Houston fans wish former general manager Jeff Luhnow could come back to run the franchise. But his management team's 'success' in the draft may be one of the great myths of the golden era of Astros baseball. Houston, more often than not, swung and missed within the first two rounds of the MLB Draft from 2013-2019. The Astros may now being paying for those mistakes, which are very similar to those behind another legendary squad, Cincinnati's 'Big Red Machine,' based on the numbers Bristol researched.
Plus, how the reaction to the possible end of the Golden State Warriors dynasty is much like what fans say about their beloved Houston Astros.
