@Chandler_Rome Dana Brown and Joe Espada should be fired tonight and Burrows released or sent to AAA. What a shitshow set of (lack of) moves tonight. Idiots.

The Astros lost 12-11. They are 45-48.
Mike Burrows got beat up, furthering questions about his viability in the rotation. Jose Altuve and Brice Matthews homered.
English
At this point you package Mike Burrows, Tatsuya Imai, Bryan Abreu and Dana Brown with $500k in cash considerations and just hope another team pays their travel costs #Astros
English
These games are something that should happen maybe once every 6 weeks for a normal team.
For us, it’s at least a weekly thing.
6-1 lead should be a win 95+ % of the time. Josh Miller will be unemployed this offseason.

Burrows line against the Nationals:
4 1/3 innings
9 hits
10 runs
7 earned runs
2 walks
3 strikeouts
83 pitches (56 strikes)
5.99 ERA in 94 2/3 innings

@MicrophoneMilo I think Dana has told him that Burrows should be given every chance. Espada has no balls. Burrows should have been taken out in the 3rd when it was 6-3.
English
Blubaugh should’ve been starting this inning.
This was still such a winnable game. That’s so bad by Joe, man.
Like is he actually sleeping in the dugout??

The Astros staked Burrows a 6-1 lead, but it's gone. CJ Abrams' 3-run homer ties this in the third.
English
@AstrosFuture He’s hitting .237 with 17 HRs…. And making $37M/year. Angels would have to pay down the contract big time to move him.
English
Y’all think the Angels finally move him? I know Trout has a NTC but you’d think he’d want to waive it to play for a contender finally.

The Los Angeles Angels now have the worst record in baseball. On Kalshi, Mike Trout has a 65% chance of still being with the team on Opening Day 2027. Is it time for the Angels to finally move him?
English
@JeremyIKaufman Blanco should take Burrows place in the rotation. LMJ could take Pearson’s place and Sousa takes De Los Santos place.
English
Astros gonna have interesting decisions to make on Blanco and LMJ very soon.
Michael Schwab@michaelschwab13
Injury updates Blanco and McCullers at AAA tomorrow. Peña this week for AAA
English
@yanks_IND The league also watched Judge shit his pants in the playoffs.
English
Because the league watched Judge post a 200 WRC+ for the last 4 years
Astros Knower@AstrosKnower
No idea why MLB isn’t making this a bigger deal. We’re witnessing greatness.
English
@JefferyReyjwr @RedSox @espn @astros @SFGiantsFans What a joke. The Astros are a game out of the WC and have had the best record in baseball since mid-May and they’re going to trade Pena to the Sox? ESPN is either stupid or retarded.
English
The @RedSox are targeting infield upgrades ahead of the August 3 trade deadline, with @espn naming @astros SS Jeremy Peña and @SFGiantsFans 3B Matt Chapman as the "best fits" to fill injury gaps.

It’s hard to believe that after all this time, Mike Trout would finally waive his NTC, and that another team would take on a substantial portion of his remaining 4.5 years at ~$37 million a season. Still a quality player when healthy, though.

@Castellani2014 You keep hearing he wants to stay there. Which tells me he enjoys the lack of pressure in winning.
English
The only way that Trout gets moved at this point is if the Angels eat a good chunk of the money and essentially trade him as a thank you for his loyalty.
I think a separation would be healthy for both parties. Trout deserves a chance at a ring and the Angels need a full reset.

@discussbaseball And why would the Astros trade Paredes? Are you living under a rock?
English
More trade deadline fits I like a lot:
- Isaac Paredes (PHI)
- Ryan Jeffers (NYY)
- Taylor Ward (TB)
- Michael Wacha (MIA)
- Foster Griffin (CHC)
- Mickey Moniak (ATL)
- Robbie Ray (CWS)
- Garrett Whitlock (CIN)
English
@strohsguy Well like I said, I would not do this trade.
English
If I had to make a REALISTIC guess for what it'd cost the #Astros to trade for Skubal, it would look something like this.
For the record, I would not do this trade.

@Chandler_Rome He should wire his interpreter a few million and ask him to bet on his next game. Whether he will pitch 1/3 of an inning or 6.
English
Tatsuya Imai, who is starting tomorrow at Nationals Park, is throwing off the stadium mound before Astros BP. It's not a bullpen session and his catcher — interpreter Shio Enomoto — is standing up, but still noteworthy for someone who has struggled to adjust to different mounds
English
@Matthew_Gaskin You put em in a lineup with Yordan and suddenly their numbers will be better. With all due respect to the Dodgers and Cubs, no one has a hitter like Yordan.
English
Astros didn't pay Tucker or Bregman. Their current teams' fanbases want them gone, immediately. Dana be knowing what he doing, sometimes.
Jaketendo@jaketheyoshifan
Alex Bregman might be in my bottom 10 least favorite Cubs list (of all time) Dude is just a total loser
English
@mlbranks925 @TyTalksBaseball The entire Detroit Tigers 40 man plus farm wouldn’t get them Yordan
English
@TyTalksBaseball Nope its Yordan and Pena for Casey Mize no take-backs
English
@Zippy_TMS Jeff Luhnow was his farm director when he had success. When Luhnow left so did Mozeliak’s success.
English
If anyone could step into the Padres org and take it to the next level, from MLB to int'l scouting, it might be John Mozeliak. The Cardinals were a top-notch organization under his watch. If the new ownership is considering a regime change, he might be one to target.
ESPN@espn
The Los Angeles Angels fired general manager Perry Minasian on Friday, while also announcing that longtime executive John Mozeliak will be brought in as a consultant to the baseball operations department. spr.ly/6017BDoTAt

@Chandler_Rome Shewmake and Delgado should be up here. Allen should be traded for a bag of balls or peanuts
English
This means Braden Shewmake is back off the injured list. No official announcement or corresponding move from the Astros.
Chandler Rome@Chandler_Rome
The Astros against Miles Mikolas: Altuve 4, Alvarez DH, Paredes 5, Walker 3, Wade 7, Smith 9, Diaz 2, Shewmake 6, Matthews 8 Burrows RHP
