Episode Notes
What should be the Astros' top priority at the trade deadline: another arm or outfield help? We break down Houston's biggest needs with Crush City Territory host Chandler Rome.
Chandler also discusses Yordan Alvarez's dominant stretch at the plate, what's behind the recent struggles of Jose Altuve and Tatsuya Imai, and how the Lance McCullers Jr. trade went down.
(22:43) The league is cracking down on the use of AI in the dugout after teams have started relying on technology more than ever. Has baseball gone too far with analytics, and what happened to trusting a manager's gut instinct?
Hosts: Todd Frazier, Erik Kratz, Alanna Rizzo
