i think you stick with kemp / yuli / bregman (altuve will be back this homestand)

fisher to replace springer. no way do you bring up alvarez before mid june. hopefully fisher shows some value and is part of the bumgarden trade 

[Scraps 13809]

Diaz should be back early this week

[HoustonFrog 368]

Dumb question - how do you buy tickets for the Torchys Party Deck? When going online I don’t see an option to buy them.

Dumb follow up question - is that area generally more “friendly” for a 1.5 year old? Looks like there are tables and whatnot where he could walk around a little easier than in a typical section of the stadium. Is the general concourse close? Taking a child to a sporting event is annoying, so trying to make it the least annoying possible

[Scraps 13809]

You don't.

They made it group sales this year.

[HoustonFrog 368]

You don't.

They made it group sales this year.

So there’s no way to go as a family?

Follow up answer about kid from a person with no kids:

Go during week. Buy cheap upper deck seat. Move to row 8 or higher if needed. Let kids run around the row because no one will be there and they won't bother anyone.

Its like 60 ticket minimum. So yeah if you are taking everyone call the ticket office

[Jshep34 2426]

I thought the Astros had designated ‘family sections’ ?

Might as well just DFA White and bring up Tucker. Tucker is sucking in AAA, but might as well let him do it with the big club

Tucker started out badly, but he’s hitting .345 in May. In the last month, he’s hitting .338 with 9 HRs.

Great to know. Even more reason to dump White and bring him up. He's been so good at every level except the majors, including AAA last year. Glad to see things are going on the right direction.

They did....But those seats from the Dome were auctioned off several years ago

[henrygandorf 29228]

so what's the latest on springer, altuve, and diaz?

what are the twitters saying?

[WBT 20994]

Tshirt Tuesday tomorrow

[Rimbo 27073]

I don't mind losing one game out of every ten or dozen. I particularly don't mind only barely losing a game where last year's WS champ had to bring out their star pitcher while we went in without one of our best players and lost another one.

What I mind is that "lost another one" bit. Get well soon, George, and don't rush the rehab.

[DallasGatr 216]

I second that. Correa wasn’t exactly “Carlos Danger” after his back went out last year. Should have just got it right before returning.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

[henrygandorf 29228]

mother of god.

[Planet Houston 4950]

Ooof, that lineup sans Springer, Altuve and Diaz is less than ideal.

Springer - back tightness not playing today....had been working through it the past few games( as I mentioned I am pretty sure it happened 1st AB Friday....and couldn't get loose yesterday at all)

Altuve - Can come off DL tomorrow but will have a minor league rehab.  Ran some on Saturday.  

Diaz - Probably comes back tomorrow or Wed.  Will reevaluate after today's workout

Bench depth is a little troublesome right now.

Little bit. AJ did say Diaz could be available tonight. 

[TonyTexas 10785]

I don’t really understand rehab assignments if the time missed is relatively short. Someone enlighten me.

[maninblack 7975]

Tyler white is stealing money

um, you ever heard of max mother fucking stassi?

guess you and i have different interpretations of the word "troublesome".

[UTexasFight 9819]

Bench depth is a little troublesome right now.

I’m more worried about starting lineup depth.

That is brutal to look at.

Luckily we’re playing the equivalent of the 2014 Astros the next three games

[UTexasFight 9819]

Define relatively short

Altuve is eligible to come off IL tomorrow but he’s not ready and will likely be a full two weeks before facing live competition

 

I’d rather him knock off the rust, and more importantly, make sure he’s 100% against Rangers AAA pitching (not to be confused with the AAA team in our division) than against the defending World champs

[Scraps 13809]

I think the other benefit is if he ain't right then you didn't make the roster move yet. Make sure(the best you can which is where rehab assign comes in) before you activate and ship someone out.

[henrygandorf 29228]

it could also be a literal 2 day assignment.  it's not like he has to spend a week down there.

they need him in game action to see how his body reacts.

if you send someone back down, bring tuve up, and he aggravates his injury in the 1st inning, then you're kinda fucked.

[tx 3 putt 78730]

he needs to see some AA or AAA pitching, get his eye back

springer told hinch he could play today lulz 

[tx 3 putt 78730]

plus, i know it's not a factor but it's pretty damn cool for the AA and AAA fans to see these guys for a game or two

[tx 3 putt 78730]

Michelle Margoux is hot 

[tx 3 putt 78730]

great first inning for peacock 

[tx 3 putt 78730]

hopefully reddick can waste some power at the lead off spot tonight

Listening to Palehose announcers:  Giving anything to this Astros club is not a grand idea, especially considering how much they do on their own.
