The Houston Astros are at the least, playoff contenders in 2017. At most, they will be World Series Champions like Sports Illustrated predicted. There was some hype after the 2015 playoff run before the 2016 season. However, a rough April possibly cost the Astros from winning the hearts of fans following 2015’s magic. This year, the Stros could be sitting pretty at the top of the AL West.
Brian McTaggart, a reporter who has covered the Astros for a long time, has been vocal about the lack of baseball talk on the radio. Instead of hyping up what could be a dynasty in the making, the people on the radio are talking about the NFL Draft or the Quarterback issue.
