Episode Details

Yordan Alvarez continues to build an American League MVP case with another unforgettable performance, including a walk-off home run after being named an All-Star starter. Eric Huysman and Brett Chancey break down Yordan’s incredible night, the Astros’ comeback win, and why his teammates believe he’s the best player in baseball.
The guys also discuss another outstanding outing from Peter Lambert, Christian Walker’s 20th home run, Isaac Paredes’ continued production, Hunter Brown’s rare rough start, and why Cristian Javier’s move to the bullpen could make Houston even more dangerous down the stretch.
Finally, the Astros are already being linked to several trade deadline targets. Houston reportedly has strong interest in outfielders Mickey Moniak and Jake McCarthy while also planning to check in on Tarik Skubal and Sonny Gray. Are these realistic fits, and what should Dana Brown prioritize as the deadline approaches?
