@PCreighton1 Munoz is like throwing lighter fluid on a flame. He comes into games and makes everything worse. End the experiment asap.

While Cristian Javier had an uptick in velocity tonight, it faded in the 4th as he couldnt maintain it.
But his command right now is atrocious.
#Astros shouldnt let him start again until hes right. Even if that means an IL stint.
Also, Roddery Munoz needs a ticket to Cincy.
English
Christian Javier should not be starting games for the Astros. He’s been a problem for a while and isn’t getting better.
English
@michaelschwab13 A lot of seeing eye singles but he worked around it for the most part.
English
Burrows has been having some rough starts for Houston
English
@DDelgattoNFL I agree with that for now. However I don’t think he has much upside and Brice has far more potential. The more reps Brice gets early the better. Loperfido seems like a waste of time in my opinion.
English
@ALacy64741 Loperfido is miles better than Brice in the OF

Just run this out today
Pena SS
Yordan LF
Paredes DH
Correa 3B
Altuve 2B
Loperfido RF

@brianmctaggart Roddery Munoz was bad at everything he did tonight.
English
Joe Espada doesn't want his pitchers to challenge the ABS system. Roddery Munoz just did on a ball and he lost the challenge. Astros are out of challenges.
English
@SleeperAstros D+ for going 5.2 innings. The rest was not worthy of a number two starter.
English
What grade are we giving Mike Burrows in his Astros’ debut? 😬
English
@PCreighton1 But the Astros were more detrimental to the game by doing something everyone else was also doing.
English
Just a reminder that everyone saw this in real time and knew it was horseshit
The other umpires said nothing
#MLB said nothing
The broadcast team said nothing
They let it go on. They were complicit in a farce.
Codify@CodifyBaseball
Let's just say that Game 5 of the 1997 NLCS would have been a bit different with an ABS Challenge System.
English
@brianmctaggart Thank God. Because he isn’t worth having as a hitter most days
English
Espada said the roster is configured to he can give Yainer Diaz full days off instead of using him at DH on days he doesn't catch.
English
@michaelschwab13 I feel like we may never see him again. And if we do he will hurt himself instantly.
English
I am at the point where I feel we won't see Josh Hader in a game till early May
English
@UnderdogMLB @AP They humiliate themselves in front of 30k-40k as well as the tv audiences on a game to game basis. Who is he kidding?
English
Richie Garcia, former MLB umpire, on ABS system (via @AP):
"I think it's embarrassing, embarrassing to the umpires that are calling the game. Nobody likes to be humiliated in front of 30,000, 40,000 people."
English
@JeremyBranham I’m going to be positive and say they finish around 12 if they stay healthy
English
Will the Astros be better or worse than the 15th best offense in MLB?
The Athletic@TheAthletic
MLB Opening Day is just around the corner, so to kick off our opening week coverage, we ranked team lineups. Did we get it right?
English
@JeremyBranham @htownbigpoppa Those two made it clear that they wanted to be Astros and it happened. Most Boras clients, as is their right, care only about maximizing their bank account and little to do with winning or team preference.
English
@htownbigpoppa Altuve is a Boras client, LMJ is a Boras client.

What's your confidence level in Dana Brown extending Hunter Brown and Jeremy Peña?
SleeperAstros@SleeperAstros
Dana Brown spoke on the possibility of extending BOTH Hunter Brown and Jeremy Peña, per @Chandler_Rome “Peña and (Hunter) Brown are two big targets for us right now,” Dana Brown said. “You got the pitcher and you got the position player and those are our two pillars for the future. I think if you can get those guys extended, those are wins. We’re going to have some conversations with them, for sure, but it’s a goal to have those guys sign extensions here.”
English
@JeremyBranham Pretty low and it has little to do with Dana Browns capability as a GM and everything to do with the player and their representation.
English
@ChefGreens @Chandler_Rome Not having a clue before commenting is pretty tough as well
English
Astros season-opening rotation
Thurs: Hunter Brown
Fri: Mike Burrows
Sat: Cristian Javier
Sun: Tatsuya Imai
Mon: Lance McCullers Jr.
English
@JomboyMedia That’s stupid. He flipped his bat because we was going to toss it away on ball 4. Umpire still rewarded for being bad.
English
Another wrinkle within the new Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System is that players must challenge before making any other movements
This would have been ball four to Cavan Biggio, but he flipped his bat before tapping his head
