Astros surprising response to criticism from Jomboy host, Twitter mob

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.

The Houston Texans have been a big topic of conversation across the NFL this offseason, based on the hiring of DeMeco Ryans and shocking the world on draft night by drafting both CJ Stroud and Will Anderson.

While opinions seem to be mixed on the Texans' decision to move so much draft capital in the draft night trade, one thing is for sure. ESPN's Louis Riddick loves him some CJ Stroud, and likes where this team is heading.

Riddick believes Stroud was the best QB in the draft, over Bryce Young. And he really likes Stroud's character and makeup after speaking with his coaches at Ohio State.

Make sure you watch the video above as Riddick lays out why he's such a fan of Stroud and the Texans offseason.

Plus, Riddick pulls back the curtain on his interview for the GM position with the Texans a few years back.
