Then in Lunch-Time Confessions, Figgy deals with the pain of having to root for a hated team in the National Championship game, sparking a relatable debate about fandom conflicts. To close the hour, ITL runs through a full mock draft with trades, exploring different scenarios, surprises, and how things could realistically shake out for teams across the league.
ITL covers a packed show starting with a tough break for the Houston Astros, who not only dropped a game but also lost Hunter Brown to the 15-day IL, as the guys break down what it means for the rotation and whether Houston has the depth to handle the loss. The conversation then shifts to the Houston Texans and the draft with Seventeen Days, Seventeen Questions, highlighting a bold premium pick that might surprise fans but could pay off big. Around The NFL, ITL reacts to Travon Walker getting paid by the Jacksonville Jaguars and the latest involving Rashee Rice, before shifting to the Houston Rockets, who picked up a big win over the Golden State Warriors while the Los Angeles Lakers lose another key player—potentially improving Houston's playoff path.

Winning 5 of their last 6 games, the Astros seem to have hit a wall last night as Oakland rallies back late in the 9th for a stunning victory over the Astros' 3-1. Following a solid start with Ryan Gusto on the mound, Bryan Abreu suffers a hurtful loss following Nick Kurtz's walk-off 2 run homer at the bottom of the 9th to spring the A's into victory. Discussing a few things that weren't appeasing to the eyes last night, Sean and Dan share a few takeaways from last nights loss and what adjustments must be made going forward regarding games that appear on the schedule as essential wins for the Astros.

Adam Spolane makes a case as to why the Houston Astros should consider trading away Bryan Abreu. Do you agree with him?
The Houston Astros were once 10 games back from the division lead but managed to clinch the AL West and return to the postseason for the ninth time in the past 10 seasons. However, hopes of returning to the ALCS for the eighth consecutive year vanished following back-to-back home losses to the Detroit Tigers in the AL Wild Card Series. Hunter Brown started in Wednesday's 5-2 defeat, giving up only one run after six innings. Bryan Abreu was able to hold the Astros' 2-1 lead in the seventh, but things unraveled in the eighth when Ryan Pressly and Josh Hader took the mound. The Astros offense was unable to rally, securing the win for the Tigers. "At the end of the day, they just didn't hit," Brian McTaggart, Astros beat reporter for MLB.com, said. With the conclusion of the regular season, the focus shifts to the offseason, where the Astros will look to upgrade a flawed lineup. "This team has a lot of things on their checklist this offseason." The biggest question mark is placed on third base, as Alex Bregman is set to become an unrestricted free agent and could leave Houston for a more desirable contract. "He means so much to the clubhouse." The Astros have a history of not paying the market and thus not extending homegrown players, such as Carlos Correa and George Springer, so general manager Dana Brown might have to find a third baseman to fill the shoes of the two-time All-Star. While Bregman's future will be the main headline for weeks to come, McTaggart also adds that the Astros should address other positions, such as first base and the bullpen.

Brian McTaggart, Astros beat reporter for MLB.com, joins The Astros On-Deck Show after the Astros defeated the Chicago White Sox 4-1 on Wednesday at Guaranteed Rate Field. Hunter Brown started on the mound and delivered his sixth consecutive quality start, allowing only one earned run across six innings. Brown's power sinker "has really opened up his entire arsenal," McTaggart said. Bryan Abreu, Ryan Pressly and Josh Hader each threw a scoreless inning to secure the win Wednesday. "It's not always going to be pretty," but "the bullpen is falling into line here." Spencer Arrighetti will start on the mound Thursday as the Astros look to earn a series win against the White Sox. This is a "good chance today for him to get back on track" after giving up seven earned runs off 48 pitches Saturday when stepping in for an injured Justin Verlander against the Detroit Tigers. With Verlander on the injured list, the Astros have called up right-handed pitcher Jake Bloss, a third-round pick in the 2023 MLB draft. The 22-year-old has split time between High-A Asheville and Double-A Corpus Christi and is expected to make his Major League debut Friday against the Baltimore Orioles.

The woeful start to the season for the Houston Astros got even worse on Saturday night against the Texas Rangers. The bullpen continued to fall apart as Bryan Abreu and Ryan Pressly struggled, while the bats were a no show for the second straight night.
