The boys talk about the current state of the Astros:
Carlos Correa is done for 2026. The Astros have 23.5 fWAR sitting on the injured list — more than 9 entire MLB teams had all of last season. Beyond The Diamond breaks down the most brutal stretch of Astros baseball in recent memory.
We dig into the full scope of the injury disaster, the Joe Espada hot seat rumblings, why the bullpen construction has the team punting games by the 4th inning, and the growing frustration with roster decisions. But it's not all doom — Peter Lambert outdueled Ohtani with 7 innings against the Dodgers, Christian Walker is hitting .307 with a .959 OPS, and the young guys like Cam Smith and Bryce Matthews are stepping up. Plus our Week 5 AL Power Rankings (the A's lead the West?!) and Dog of the Week.
