The Houston Astros have fired pitching coach Brad Arnsberg and replaced him on an interim basis with Doug Brocail, a former Astros pitcher. The Astros, who have the worst record in baseball at 25-42, announced the move in a release Tuesday citing philosophical differences. Arnsberg was hired as Houston's pitching coach in October of 2009. Houston's pitchers have the second highest ERA in the National League this season with 4.69 and have allowed an NL-leading 78 homers. Brocail pitched for 15 seasons, including four in Houston and has been working as a special assistant to Astros' general manager Ed Wade.
