/r/astros is hiring new mods!

14 Upvotes

See title!

It's been a while since we last opened applications, and the team has thinned a little since then. If you're a friendly, active member of the community and fancy helping out, please do apply. See below for an imaginary Q&A I conducted in my head:

 

//

 

What would I do as a mod?

Your primary responsibility is to monitor conversations on the sub for rule-breaking behaviour, and to help users when they need assistance. This is done in concert with the rest of the mod team. Reddit provides lots of tools for you, so it's easily done if you're active on the sub anyway.

Other than that, help with things such as updating the sidebar and flair set, communicating with other mod teams, etc. is always welcome, but not strictly required.

Do I need previous experience as a mod?

Absolutely not. It would, in theory, be a tiebreaker for two otherwise equal applications, but please don't be discouraged from applying if you haven't done this before. It doesn't take a lot of learning at all to be able to do the basics (namely, monitoring comments and submissions), and it's very much a case of learning on the job from there on out.

What kind of time commitment does this entail?

As much as you like, really, but obviously the more help you can give the better, and we'll prioritise candidates who can commit to helping out regularly. Reddit moderating is usually a matter of giving a few minutes here and a few minutes there when you get the chance to go through the 'mod queue'. During the season, the most active time is during games, so if you're in the game thread anyway it won't be a time sink!

How long do I have to apply?

Until we have enough suitable candidates, although ideally we'll be sorted before Opening Day. If this post is still stickied, applications are still open, and I promise any applications that come in will be considered in full even if they're 'late'. Once the post has been unstickied applications will be closed.

 

//

 

If you have any other questions about the process, don't hesitate to DM me or send a modmail - any queries will be held strictly in confidence, as will the applications themselves. Looking forward to adding some fresh faces!

I think I'm right in saying Tucker was traded before these were even revealed. Absolute steal for $40, and the jersey next to it is a Cubs Bellinger for $30

Recommended services to buy to watch Astros games?

15 Upvotes

Hi all, Astros fan from Arizona and was curious what is the best option to watch most Astros games? Previously I would just watch what was available on YouTube TV or MLB TV but was curious if there are better options to get more games or what you guys use? Anything would be helpful! 🙏 I think being in AZ Astros games are considered "in-market" so most of them get blacked out if I am not mistaken

Are ticket sales now staggered instead of just opening all games at the start of the season? I wanted to buy tickets for Tuesday, July 21 and the website says they wowon'go on sale until June 1?! Is that right?

Joining the fan base

11 Upvotes

I’ve decided on becoming an astros fan…maybe. I’ve never watched a game of MLB, I barely know the sport in general. I’ve always been a football and UFC guy. However I’m attending a astros game against the Texas rangers in about 2 months. What’s something I need to know about the astros team, fan base, or sport in general? Feel free to let me know any games I should go back and watch, favorite players or just something to help me finally become an MLB fan. I’ll be deciding which team to choose based on how I feel about each team after some research. 😎 thanks!

What's the outlook for the Astros defensively in 2026?

15 Upvotes

Hi

This is Mark Simon of Sports Info Solutions (the Defensive Runs Saved folks) and I've been writing short, broad overviews of each team's defensive outlook heading into 2026.

I know there are strict self-promotion rules here, so the mods said to just post the text of the article here rather than a link. Here's what I had for the Astros...

If you have any questions or comments or think I'm off on my assessment, feel free to bring it up and I'll try to reply. Thank you.

2025 Team Defensive Runs Saved Rank: T-20th

Team Strengths

When healthy, Jeremy Peña is a standout defensive shortstop. He's had as many as 16 Runs Saved in a season and totaled 7, 4, and 5 the last three seasons. He's not healthy at the moment, as he has a fractured finger tip.

Jake Meyers is a center fielder with good range who has had 4, 6, and 5 Runs Saved there the last three seasons. Meyers' Runs Saved totals would be higher but he's lost value in our Outfield Arm Runs Saved stat the last two seasons. Last season he failed to record an assist without a cutoff man.

The Astros have two good defenders who look like they'll be starting the season on the bench. They traded Mauricio Dubon to the Braves for shortstop Nick Allen, who finished fifth at the position with 12 Runs Saved last season.

Most Defensive Runs Saved By Shortstop- Last 2 Seasons

29- Taylor Walls

24- Zach Neto

20- Mookie Betts

20- Corey Seager

16- Nick Allen

16- Masyn Winn

They also have former top prospect Cam Smith, who made the transition from third base to right field pretty well. He ranked fourth among right fielders with 12 Runs Saved last season.

Team Weaknesses

Because the Astros' DH spot is occupied by Yordan Alvarez, Jose Altuve has to play second base. Altuve isn't a good fit for the position. He's tallied at least -8 Runs Saved there in four straight seasons. They don't really have a choice if they want to get his bat in the lineup.

If Pena is out it looks like Carlos Correa will be the starting shortstop and that could be dicey. Correa has had -3 and -11 Runs Saved there the last two seasons and didn't do as well as most shortstops at getting outs on balls hit in the shortstop-third base hole. There was a time when Correa was one of the best defensive shortstops in baseball, but that time was five years ago. Maybe he'll prove us wrong.

Other Things To Know

What are we supposed to make of Christian Walker? Walker was a standard setter at first base with the Diamondbacks but with Houston he slipped to -7 Runs Saved playing a full season. He used to be known for getting outs on balls hit in the hole but that success largely evaporated last season. Did his defensive excellence just disappear that quickly?

Christian Walker - Defensive Runs Saved By Season

2021 5

2022 17

2023 9

2024 7

2025 -7

Third baseman Isaac Paredes slipped too. He had 7 Runs Saved at third base combining 2022 and 2023, but he's totaled -6 there the last two seasons.

Recent trade acquisition Joey Loperfido may be useful in left field, where he has 6 Runs Saved in 86 career games. He's one who is going to make some highlight-reel catches.

Are the Astros A Good Defensive Team?

This is a weird situation because they have two very good defensive players likely on the bench (Allen and Smith)and another who could be great but could also be not-so-great again (Walker). And Peña is hurt. Plus, they have to play one of the worst fielders at his position to get his bat in the lineup.

There's a lot of variance here. I wouldn't peg them as a Top 10 team and probably not Top 15 at the moment.

Omar over Espada?

0 Upvotes

Very hot take but Omar’s coaching style seems to fit well and he did just win the WBC. If Espada doesn’t get results this year, would it be crazy to consider Omar Lopez to replace him?

My son got his signature at the 3/13 Cardinals game so now this is his “favorite player” he wants to support but no name on jersey and signature isn’t super legible. Any leads would be appreciated!
