@MicrophoneMilo I've been saying it for however long, so why stop now? "Get back out there and SELL"!

#Astros really shouldn’t buy or sell. They should just ride out the season with what they have. Maybe a couple small moves, but they’re not going to sufficiently address their biggest need (2 or 3 new starting pitchers).

@MicrophoneMilo I'll believe it when I see it.

I’m predicting Christian Walker will have a big road-trip. He’s more than due and he seems like he usually tends to break out on the road. Also loves hitting on the west coast. #Astros

@MicrophoneMilo 5-1 would be better.

The #Astros will have a day off tomorrow and then begin a six game roadtrip to Chicago (AL) and Anaheim. White Sox look like a quality club, but are certainly beatable. Angels are dreadful as we know, but that doesn’t mean anything. It needs to be a 4-2 road-trip.

@Johnathonlee And Dusty Jr. was trumpeting it.

The #Astros getting swept and then immediately sweeping a team is 2026 in a nutshell. #chasethefight

Dusty Jr. got out of his own/the team's way long enough for the #Astros to sweep. I'm not going to try to extrapolate from this; it's just nice to sweep ...well, anybody.

Christian Abreu had a lower-leverage AB this inning. ...and still struck out. #Astros

@MicrophoneMilo Incredibly optimistic take.

Okert comes through again. His arm will be falling off by September. Top of the order due up. 2-2 (Mid 8th). #Astros #Marlins

@jaharialex He's napping.

How does Espada not challenge that??? SMH #Astros

Yordan just pulled the "And I took that personally" card. #Astros

Can't get rid of Christian Abreu soon enough. He just killed another "rally" with his terrible swing decisions. #Astros

The #Astros' situation in CF has been pretty bad for years now. But hey, it's possible it could be worse.

@nash_gomez Yeah, I've seen too much of Yainer to agree with your assessment.

@big_red01027 Yainer's on a little heater though. They need his bat in the lineup at the moment, but he's just so bad behind the dish. But then when Vazquez takes on the role full time he starts looking as bad as yainer back there. Lol

Yainer is DH'ing today. You'll have to excuse me while I laugh my way out of this "post". #Astros

@MicrophoneMilo Bingo. No need to swing at that pitch in a 3-1 count. I've been questioning swing decisions from him and everyone else the entire season, so why stop now?

Yordan is pissed at himself and he should be. Swung at Ball 4 and bounced into a double play. I appreciate the fact that he holds himself to high standards. #Astros

@bradthompsontx Could be both. I think he'd be a better fielder if he did it more often. But I am definitely among those who think it's poor asset management.

Is Yordan deceptively fast or does he just not have a sense of urgency to get to balls in the outfield? #astros

If Lambert's done for the night, it's a solid effort. As usual, it leaves me wanting more. #Astros

@nash_gomez I have very little bad to say about Paredes. Nitpicks, really.

@big_red01027 Oh, and isaac has been good as well.

Another bad AB by Yordan ends the inning. What is he looking for there? I have no idea. I mean, even I know what the result was going to be from swinging at that. And it was either ball 4 or a full count. #Astros

@MicrophoneMilo Well, that, and Miller said something to Lambert between innings. Speculation, obviously. But note how efficient Lambert had been the previous two innings before blowing up.

LaMonte Wade is slow as shit. I know Cam Smith has been awful at the plate, but Wade is not an improvement at all. Game is now tied, because he is ridiculously slow and couldn’t run down a flyball. #Astros

@RicardoOrt65021 Is a work stoppage a fait accompli?

Astros are a weird team. .500 team. I would tank the rest of the season and recharge whenever MLB is played again. #Astros #MLB

Trading for Nick Allen was a brilliant idea. #Astros
