  • Thanks for excellent analysis and good conversations

    I’m so grateful for this podcast. It got me through a disappointing season. I already miss you guys and hope to hear from you before February. I think we need a better catcher, another starting pitcher, and a left handed bat that can hit (not Sanchez). I would try to trade Walker and hope Paredes can learn to play first base. Don’t know what to do with Altuve. Maybe rest will help. Tom

  • More Charlie

    Charlie is the reason why we are all here. Charlie could carry this podcast on his back. Where he goes, we will follow! Go Astros!

  • Love it

    If this podcast was just Charlie reading the dictionary, I would still listen. This really should be a 2 man pod tho. With the short episodes there isn’t enough room for 3 of them. Having just Charlie and Josh would improve the pod.
