The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show

And we’re back at the Space Cadet Sports podcast where the Astros win a game on the big stage of Apple TV against the LA Dodgers. A 5-0 shut out is a great way to start a series against a tough opponent. In this pod, we briefly break down the game, touch on the trade deadline and look ahead to the next two games of the series. We’ll be in touch soon to talk about the other two games this series…that I’ll have to listen to on the radio because of blackout restrictions. Can’t wait to use my imagination!

Vamos vamos Astros.

It’s been a wild two weeks for Space Cadet, Houston and the Astros; so let’s check-in with each other, shall we?

How have they looked and where are they going? All of that and more on this episode of the Space Cadet Sports Podcast.

The Astros go into New York and make Grimace cry into his shake and the Mets go from OMG to WTF. Then go into Canada on Canada day to win a game for H-Town. This team is finally back to their winning ways and when they struggle, they are finding ways to win games. Finally, it seems like they are back to the team that we all know and love. Looking back to the last week and thinking about what joy Astros fans may have if they are able to remain consistent.

The Astros Gomber Pile the runs on early in the first game and late in the second but are able to pick up the wins to get to 500 for the first time this season. That’s enough for an Off Day Goof Off around here. Join a silly-vibe feeling host and look back at the Astros sweep and ahead to the challenge of the Grimace Mets.

Astros GM Dana Brown went on the MLB Network for an interview and we’re here for it. Space Cadet, Paul Salazar Jr, shares his thoughts on Dana Brown’s thoughts and that’s a podcast. We also talk the never ending injuries of the Astros and wonder what to make about all this noise about pitches per plate appearance. All that and more on this episode of The Space Cadet Sports Podcast.

The Astros were able to win a series against the White Sox and are hampered by injuries, so of course it’s time to play a powerful Orioles team at the Juice box. To remedy Justin Verlander being on the IL the team has called up Jake Bloss to make his major league debut. Will the front office gamble pay off? Will the Astros stop getting hurt? Has Orbit’s head gotten too big now that he’s a hall of famer? Maybe all that and more on this episode!

The Houston Astros can’t seem to stay healthy. Justin Verlander was scratched from Saturday’s game…which led to a real bad time for the Astros and fans alike. While the Astros were able to win the series and the season series we look to the games and look ahead to the upcoming home stand. Will another pitcher be called up for the series? Will Verlander return from neck discomfort? Is Kyle Tucker ok? All that and more on this episode of the pod!

It’s official, the Jose Abreu era is over at first base and now it’s time for…Mauricio Dubon. While the Astros needed to find some consistency at first, it’s time to take a look into what brought the Astros to this place and this decision and what it means for us as Astros fans. Thank you for your time with us, Jose. We wish you the best of luck here at the SCSP. Let’s all just look to the future and start hoping for the best. Let’s go Houston Astros Firstbaseman, Mauricio Dubon!
