Astros Pitching Concerns/Rockets Win 6 In A Row

The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2026/04/06

Well, the series in Sacramento didn’t go the way we wanted but let’s try to look at the positives that this team is giving us: the offense. The Astros are leading MLB in a handful of offensive stats and even without Issac Paredes the team seemed patient and were able to put up enough runs to win a series. But what happened with the pitching and what can we expect going forward? We look at the last couple of Rockets games this week and recap the wins! Finally we preview the pitching matchups for the

While it’s just one week of baseball we talk about all the things to be happy about with the 2026 Astros. Is this newfound patience going to be a regular occurrence? Is Lance McCullers Jr back to dominance? Will Altuve lead the Astros in walks? We talk about it all on this episode

Football season is officially over and that means spring training is right around the corner. Since pitchers and catchers are reporting this week we decided to do an early roster projection.

Rockets Remain Intact After Trade Deadline

The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2026/02/06

The Rockets front office said they didn’t want to blow up the young core, and they stayed true to their word as the NBA trade deadline comes and goes with no Rockets roster movement. Normally this would make this podcast happy, but after the demoralizing loss to the Celtics…we’re asking you: what are you thinking about the Rockets going into the All Star Break. We also take a peak at the Astros logjam in the infield and past-Astros pitcher movement. Finally, we look at the memes that Texans have

They world has been wild and Paul’s own little world has been busy, but it’s time for a H-Town check-in after a wild week and a half. We start off with a note on the heartbreak that this country has been facing (for quite some time now) at the hands of the hateful and cowardly, but then we give a quick salve for the sadness: talking about the emotional roller coaster that is being a Houston fan. These Houston teams have taken fans for a tumultuous ride in 2025 and we’re hoping for less bumps in

2026/01/16

The holiday break was fantastic for your boy, but it’s time to check back in with your Houston sports teams. The Texans have won 10 games in a row and are set to play the New England Patriots this weekend. After a 30-6 win and a bumbling offensive outing the Texans still bring hope to Paul’s heart. Meanwhile, the Rockets have been going through some big growing pains. Is this just a bump in the road or indicative of something bigger? We think the Rockets will get right after a win against the

After a week off to eat food and sleep, Paul and Carla are back to talk Texans as they step into the national narrative as KC Destroyers.

2025/11/25

These Houston teams have a lot of fight in them and put it on display this week. The Texans came away with a big win against the Bills at home to keep hopes alive in H-Town. But the Rockets were not able to outlast the Denver Nuggets in NBA Cup Play. Plus, we knew we were Dubi stans in this house; but it seems like all of H-Town poured one out when Mauricio Dubón was traded. So we check-in with what stage of grief our listeners may be in.

Today’s Paul’s Picks episode is hijacked by the sad news that fan favorite utility gold glove winner Mauricio Dubón is headed to Atlanta in return for SS Nick Allen. But first Paul talks Texans and looks into a foggy crystal ball to see which NFL teams are gonna be winners this week. Then we take a peak at the 10-3 Rockets and their game in Cleveland.

Not gonna lie, they had us in the beginning…the Texans and the Rockets both put on fourth quarter shows for fans of the H on Sunday. The Houston Texans have declared that their season is not dead yet with a 36-29 win. They are now 4-5 and have hope to turn this season around. How hopeful are you feeling H-Town?

It’s Thursday or Wednesday, so you know what that means: it’s time for Paul’s Picks. This week Paul does know what day of the week it is (maybe) and we go through the NFL lines and games to try to pick the winners. The Texans season is on the line this week as they matchup against divisional rival Jacksonville. Is it delusional to have hope still?

The Houston Texans are now 3-5 after struggling to score in a 18-15 loss to the Broncos. CJ Stroud will be out for at least one week and the Texans are in a bind, because they’re way behind but Nick Caserio wasn’t willing to make a deal. Luckily, we can also talk about the Houston Rockets. The Rox are on a 4 game winning streak-after a slightly slow start-and it looks like there is still some hope in Houston. Also, the Houston Astros are looking to hire Victor Rodriguez to be a hitting coach in
