This is my favorite episode for obvious reasons 😉, but I’ve enjoyed every episode of the podcast. Highly recommended if you are interested in a rational discussion of the Astros.

Another great episode of the Mission Control Podcast podcast. You're missing out if you don't have it in the rotation.

NEW EPISODE: Aidan Resnick and Mike Mitchell review the difficult homestand that has put the Astros at the edge of the AL West race. Plus: a look at the week ahead, and how we got to this point over the full season. Listen on Spotify, Apple or RSS: spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/JeBxTnTqpDb

ICYMI from yesterday: Wild Card Round preview edition

Excited for Astros/Twins. All RHPs on the mound for Minnesota, so we’ll see as much Brantley as his health allows. We’ll have a detailed preview of the series out by 10 AM Friday at Mission Control Podcast.

Editing is done. Our ALDS preview episode will be posted shortly before noon CT today!

NEW EPISODE: Twins-Astros ALDS preview episode! Aidan Resnick and Mike Mitchell look at roster usage decisions (hit for Peña late? How to use the pen?) and the pitching matchups with the Twins. Listen during the rain delay on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or RSS: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/micha…

Direct link: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/micha… One thing that's clear: if Bennett Sousa had been in the organization a week or two earlier, he'd probably be on this roster for Minnesota's young, potent lefty platoon bats. Listen and enjoy!

NEW (MINI-) EPISODE: Mike Mitchell and Aidan Resnick briefly review a big #Astros Game 1 win and then pivot to what to watch for tonight, including how to use (and not use) Phil Maton in a leverage spot. anchor.fm/michael-mitche…

NEW: Mike Mitchell and Aidan Resnick break down the upcoming ALCS matchup with Arlington, discuss the nature of playoff randomness, and more. Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or your RSS: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/micha…

"If you put a gun to my head, Pena's batting 8th, you've got Singleton and Kessinger on the bench, bottom 9th, down a run, Yainer has hit for Maldonado... I'd probably give the AB to Singleton... I wouldn't give it to Peña" - Mike Mitchell, pre-ALDS. New episode out this weekend.
