Nate Pearson is the third of Astros GM Dana Brown’s six offseason, major-league pitching acquisitions to be designated for assignment this season. The three that remain on the 40-man roster have combined for a 5.51 ERA across 210 ⅔ innings.

Blanco is coming off the IL tomorrow, so that could be the corresponding move, but the Astros may want to get another reliever here, too.

LHP Bryan King was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land.

@hangingsliders @brianmctaggart fucking idiotic man.

LHP Bryan King was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land.

@Chandler_Rome what? lol wow. that seems irrational.

The Astros optioned Bryan King to Triple-A Sugar Land after today's game.

@MicrophoneMilo 4 games blown by 1 guy. winning record very, very easily obtainable. and we’re done now. digging our own grave

#Astros lose (Final: 5-2).
They’re swept by Baltimore to open up the “second half”. There are 61 games left, but I believe this was the dagger on their season.
Hunter Brown is not a real Ace. It’s time for people to accept that. It’s time to sell.
Record: 47-54

Orioles sweep the Astros, who have lost four in a row and six of their last seven to drop to 47-54. The Rangers lost, so the Astros will stay 4 games out of first with the Marlins coming to town. Marlins have lost six in a row.

@cjordanhouston @RipGriffin3 why? it easily could be a tryout for omar lol
English
@RipGriffin3 Might as well let him finish out the season, since it's already over for us
English
If the Astros get swept by the Orioles, should Jim Crane fire Joe Espada?
English
@JeremyBranham i mean surely a sweep makes it the end of this managerial run right lol
English
It’s time for the Astros to be honest about the Astros.
English
@brianmctaggart a sweep here has to be the end of this managerial run
English
Leave it to Beavers to stay in the game after getting hit like that.

Dana Brown will go down as one of the best drafting GMs but the WORST talent evaluator in franchise history
Brian McTaggart@brianmctaggart
Four pitchers the Astros acquired in the offseason have been DFA'd: Pearson, Weiss, Muñoz and Roa. Pearson began the year on the IL, but Weiss, Muñoz and Roa were on the Opening Day roster. Other offseason pitching adds: Imai Lambert Burrows Teng

@shoukAstros @Chandler_Rome yeah i mean it was known going into the offseason we weren’t gonna reach into the luxury tax.
English
@finnation @Chandler_Rome Its always armchair GMs looking in hindsight saying "Fire the GM" as if any other GM under Crane's meddling would do any better
English
It all went downhill from here. Fire this man
Houston Astros@astros
We got our guy! We have hired Joe Espada as our 20th manager in franchise history.

Biggio is up to an .885 OPS for the Spacers this season. If Walker lands on the IL, why not?

Tie game thanks to Biggio's blast💥#Ascend

LeBron James daughter Zhuri is the driving force in his free agency decision, per @melissarohlin
“Zhuri has lived in Los Angeles since she was a preschooler. It’s where her friends are. It’s where she’s becoming a volleyball star. Uprooting her would be extremely difficult.
That’s why it’s hard to imagine James choosing anywhere besides Golden State to finish his career.”

@strosenthusiast i was terrified of joe, after how bad he tanked like 8 interviews before houston
English
@finnation Eh I’m pretty sure I supported it lmfao but I was blinded by Dusty his last year. Thought it couldn’t get any worse

@stingleyszns @michaelschwab13 it’s now 2 years later and joe espada still has zero fucking idea what he is doing

@stingleyszns @michaelschwab13 kid, stay out of comments if you have zero idea what you are talking about

Josh Hader didn't get over 95 MPH on his sinker tonight, which in his career he averages between 96-99.
He already averaging a full MPH lower on both his top pitches this year.
Something to monitor.
