It is interesting that it’s cabbage when they could give Loperfido 2 weeks worth of AB’s if they wanted to. 

Cabbage is already up. There will be another move to replace Tucker.

Listening to the game with ford/sparks on audio and ford says:

”oooh and some discomfort…for Rengifo”

 

My heart stopped during those three dots which felt like they lasted about a lifetime.

no one affiliated with the Astros is allowed to say that word without the player’s name mentioned first

They need to bring up salazar and let Diaz and Caratini play every game together like tonight, but with insurance

For the playoffs sure. Not the regular season.

worst case the starting catcher gets hurt in the first inning, you lose the DH and you cobble together a bullpen game or the SP bats once or twice. Not sure that is worth a roster spot (then again, that’s expecting Espada can master the art of the double switch and/or managing the bullpen so that he doesn’t have to pull a pitcher earlier than he wants because that spot it up in the lineup.

of course, i feel like there are 3-4 roster spots that currently never get used anyway so why not stash a 3rd catcher.
