@HouSports281 @finnation I’m convinced this dude you are talking to is 14. I really don’t think he comprehends that you CAN NOT win in MLB with the worst pitching in the league. Sure, fire everyone. Like it matters when you are starting guys who were in Korea and playing independent baseball a year ago

@finnation Man, you really can’t see the forest for the trees can you?

Cardinals beat the Astros, 7-5, sweeping three games in Houston for the first time since 2004. Astros have lost have four in a row and 12 of their last 14.

@Johnathonlee @brianmctaggart Amazing how Astro fans can go to the playoffs what, 8 of the last 10 years and at the first sign of struggle it’s get rid of everyone haha

@brianmctaggart Espada and Brown should be gone yesterday

@brianmctaggart “Astros explode for 16 runs on 27 hits but fall in the ninth 17-16 to the Cardinals”

Homestand finale

@michaelbeck @astros Yeah probably Diaz fault that the Astros are leading the league in being the worst pitching staff in all of baseball.

When Vazquez is the starting catcher the @Astros have been 4-2 (two games over .500) When Diaz is catching, the Astros have been 3-9. (Six games under .500.) Just a coincidence I am sure.

@XFactor2006 @astros You really think it matters how may runs this team scores haha

Why Joe putting Christian Walker in the 4th spot? He stinks at that spot. Parades is terrible and pitching again is killing this team. @astros #Astros #Astrosbaseball

@TexansCommenter *proven track record 9 years ago

Astros reeling and they’ve gotten little to no quality starts, or even guys going 5 innings. Their only veteran pitcher with a proven track record on the mound in Lance McCullers Jr. And he’s already at 53 pitches through 2 innings after 2 HBPs and 3 walks 🤮

@llanesluna @Astros_Coverage But yet the post this is referring to is talking specifically about framing and CS rates. Both are irrelevant with the ability to challenge pitches and the inability of Astros pitchers to hold anyone on. But agree, he needs to hit better.

@MakeMeASammitch @Astros_Coverage He is proven bad behind the plate. He is playing because his bat, not his catching skills.

Los #Astros necesitarán hacer una evaluación exhaustivo de la posición 2 si pretenden competir esta temporada. Su catcher titular en este instante tiene CS% de CERO (0-9), -1.4 en framing (lugar 15 entre los 17 catchers calificados) y 36 OPS+ (último entre todos los catchers MLB)

@Cosmic_Andrew1 @wingoz Do you really watch golf to think their players couldn’t make the cut? I don’t care about LIv but this is honestly one of the dumbest comments I’ve read on this topic

@wingoz “not a reflection of commercial performance” Like 12 people watch their tournaments and they are paying ludicrous sums to people who couldn’t make a cut on the PGA You can be funded but doesn’t mean your a commercial success, just someone is stupid enough to fund it

BREAKING: Sources indicate LIV is preparing to wind down operations as the Public Investment Fund (PIF) reassesses its broader strategy amid ongoing conflict in the Middle East. A recent board meeting in New York focused on the league’s near-term future, including whether to cease operations following this week’s event in Mexico City or continue through the end of the season. Importantly, this is not a reflection of LIV’s commercial performance. The league was fully funded through 2030 — this is a top-down strategic shift driven by evolving geopolitical priorities. MBS pulled the plug.

@BauersNighmare @wingoz Second rate courses. Hahha. I’m in tears you actually think that.

@wingoz Is, was, and would've been trash golf on second rate courses filled w dudes only interested in cashing in as opposed to the love for the game. Ever dude that signed on to this sports washing grift is a POS to boot

@MidwestDrummer @Mark_Testoni @wingoz Umm what? John Rahm was the number 1 golfer in the world and made 7mm. He complained about the pay along with other golfers

@Mark_Testoni @wingoz LIV was completely unnecessary because absolutely no one was whining or complaining about any of those things. But some people just don't have morals or a conscience.

@astrosworld34 @brianmctaggart Yeah, it’s probably Josh Millers fault since they all suck. Not the fact that half these guys wouldn’t be on any other roster but go on.

@brianmctaggart This pitching staff is such joke. Josh Miller needs to go, even to just prove a point. Everyone should be playing for their jobs

Joe Espada summoning Enyel De Los Santos from the bullpen with two outs in the ninth and the tying run at third base. Astros holding on for dear life.

@TheNickLow @astros You really think it’s the pitching coach when this team could pitch last year? Maybe it’s lack of talent

Another @astros starter can’t go 2 innings?!? Anyone looking at pitching coach at this point? What gives?

@koltes88394 @spacecity_281 @Chandler_Rome Yeah that’s great and all but if you just use the social media approach of “don’t put that guy in” you fail to realize all the other arms can’t be used every game.

@MakeMeASammitch @spacecity_281 @Chandler_Rome No. He can change roles with another pitcher. Anyone really.

The Astros lost 8-7. They are 6-9. Houston squandered a 7-2 lead to run its losing streak to six games. Bryan Abreu walked the bases loaded in the ninth inning before allowing a walk-off hit to J.P. Crawford.

@spacecity_281 @Chandler_Rome Because if you’re new to baseball, the way rosters are set up he has to.

@Chandler_Rome Please ask Espada why he keeps sending Abreu out in the 9th when he’s been struggling all year long. A 7-year-old knows this and wouldn’t do it, but Espada keeps insisting.

@michaelschwab13 What month do you think the yard sale happens?

Astros pitching has allowed 76 walks, the worst in MLB

@michaelbeck @astros Exactly. Hader is irrevelant with this staff. Everyone outside of Brown would struggle against a single A ball club

I understand, the @Astros have had some really bad luck with their ace, and their closer out with injuries. But look at the other starters and the rest of the bullpen. What the hell has Dana Brown given us? This is a bad pitching staff.

@TheAstrosLocker Yard sale in a month. You can win with bad offense. You will never win with bad pitching.

I have no idea how the Astros are going to get through the season with the pitching they currently have.

@JeremyIKaufman Hahah the Astros could average 12 runs a game and still not sniff the playoffs. This is a single A pitching staff at best.

Astros offense going completely quiet doesn’t help a terrible pitching staff either

@Chandler_Rome @Readyandwill It’s wild to me that someone who has been around baseball as long as you can actually say throwing more than 37 pitches in one inning is putting his health in danger

@Readyandwill he threw 37 pitches. they're putting his health in danger if they allow him to throw any more

Tatsuya Imai's evening is over. He recorded one out, walked four batters, hit another and threw 36 pitches. Imai exits with the bases loaded.
