  Join Eric and Brett for the Locked On Astros podcast as the Astros are rumored to be close to bringing in a new hitting coach.Houston Astros tap Victor Rodriguez as their new hitting coach, bringing a contact-first philosophy that could revolutionize an offense that scored three runs or fewer in half their games last season.
