At the behest of Jeff Bagwell, the Astros brought back venerated pitching coach Brent Strom as a pitching consultant in hopes of catalyzing a late-season turnaround. Tyler Stafford and The Athletic's Chandler Rome discuss how Strom got back to the ballclub, the areas he can improve and what his presence means for the future of the organization. The duo then breaks down Hunter Brown's dominant start against the New York Mets and the Astros' continued search for outfield continuity.
