The Houston Astros caught some heat over the weekend for a social media post following the team's sweep of the Oakland A's. Houston's social media team basically poked fun at the lack of fans in attendance for the game.

Broadcaster and Jomboy co-host Chris Rose, among others, took issue with the Astros tweet, which was later deleted.

Considering how the Astros have been MLB's punching bag for the last few years, and the A's are in fact historically bad, did they really need to delete the tweet?

And does this move signify that the Astros organization no longer wants to be the bad guys in the eyes of baseball fans?

Check out the video above as we break it all down.
