Astros trending the wrong Wei, and a Golden Sombrero for Alvarez

Brett and Eric talk about the series that wasnt. How the series could have easiy been won. It was not the Pitching that did them in, it was the offense. Houston Astros’ inconsistency threatens AL West hopes as Kai-Wei Teng shows promise in the rotation, but Yordan Alvarez’s rare golden sombrero exposes offensive woes. Can Tatsuya Imai or the return of Lance McCullers Jr. provide the stability Houston desperately needs amid mounting injuries? Eric Huysman and Brett Chancey break down the Astros’ struggles after dropping the series to the Cincinnati Reds, spotlighting pitching upgrades from Mike Burrows and Peter Lambert, but questioning the lineup's ability to capitalize on opportunities. The hosts analyze Houston's statistical slide in May, Altuve’s cold streak, and whether the Mariners series could determine the Astros' 2024 trajectory. Is patchwork starting pitching enough, or will the bats finally wake up? Don’t miss insight on Tatsuya Imai’s anticipated return, the bullpen shuffle, and what lies ahead for Houston’s postseason ambitions. 00:00 Celebrating Mother's Day and Astros update 04:58 Pitching performance of Kai Way Tane 06:53 Astros' offensive struggles 12:14 Discussing Astros' offensive statistics 16:37 Jordan's recent performance dip 18:33 Astros pitching shines despite injuries 21:28 Looking ahead to Seattle series 27:04 Struggles facing Japanese players 30:19 Burroughs' pitching performance 32:08 End of episode reminders Join the Everydayer Club lockedonastros.supercast.com Locked On Astros is your daily Houston Astros podcast, hosted by Eric Huysman and Brett Chancey.
