    Christian, Neal and Brian finally sync calendars on Cinco de Mayo to dissect the Astros' maddening .500 start, a 17‑16 (now 17-17) record that already feels like treading water. They toast the few bright spots—Hunter Brown's ace vibes, Wesneski's steadiness and Jake Myers' seven‑RBI eruption—then vent about Yordan's swollen hand, McCullers' three‑and‑two‑thirds tease, and a spiraling Framber Valdez whom two of the three hosts would flip before the deadline.

    The Dome Foamers take stock of the Astros after a rocky 4‑5 start. They debate whether the club's razor‑thin depth and sputtering bats (especially Yainer Díaz) can survive a full season, and they set over/unders on everything from Altuve's left‑field experiment to Cam Smith's homer total. The trio land on modest win‑total predictions and wonder who could become trade bait if Houston is clearly out of contention early.
