Prior to Cecil Cooper taking over at the start of the 2008 season, the previous two Astros managers were Phil Garner (89th game of 2004 to end of 2007 season) and Jimy Williams (start of 2002 season to 88th game of 2004 season).
Houston Astros and Texas Rangers.
Two: The Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers.
Two seasons ... 2003 and 2004.
Through the 2017 regular season, the two teams have played 711 games. The Houston Astros have 378 wins and 333 losses against the Chicago Cubs.
HA! That's funny!!! They absolutely will not. The Cardinals could have clinched the division last night, but the Astros won. And there's no hope for the Astros in the wildcard race, either. Thery've fired their manager with only two weeks left in the season, and I suspect many of the high-dollar players currently on the team this season won't be next season.
Two, the New York Mets (1966, 1968-1971) and the Houston Astros (1980-1988).
they really have two managers... Kiesha Gamble and Walter Millsap.
Two teams have switched leagues. The Milwaukee Brewers changed from the AL to the NL in 1998 and the Houston Astros moved to the AL in 2013.
The two starting pitchers for the first game at Enron field was, Yankees Pitcher and 7 Cy young winner Roger Clemens who faced against the Astros Dwight Gooden. It was some what of a rematch of the 1986 All-Star game in Houston in which the two hurlers faced each other.
Houston astros by the score of 4-7 the rangers would go on to win the final two games in the series
The last time this happened was Thursday, June 29 and Friday, June 30, 2007. On June 29, Houston Astros leftfielder Carlos Lee hit a grand slam for an Astros 8-5 victory over Colorado in 11 innings. The next night, Friday, June 30, Mark Loretta hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning for an Astros 9-8 victory over Colorado. Both game winning home runs came off Rockies closer Brian Fuentes.
A.J. Hinch has managed the Astros since the 2015 season. In 2016, he signed an extension for an undisclosed period of time. The former major league catcher, who played for the Oakland Athletics (1998-2000), the Kansas City Royals (2001-2002), the Detroit Tigers (2003) and the Philadelphia Phillies (2004), previously managed the Arizona Diamondbacks from 2009-2010.
