@brianmctaggart Then why the hell didn't Espada leave him in for another inning? He always makes decisions by the book, no matter how a guy looks. Dominating like Blubaugh was? Who cares? Let's bring in another guy and take our chances. I cannot wait for another manager and GM to be hired.

@AstrosFansUK I am so sorry to hear this. I'm grateful you are receiving good care and pray that you are on the road to recovery. Here's hoping our Astros get on a roll and make the playoffs -- and have a successful run! -- to help ease the sting of your ordeal. God bless you and yours!

@Chandler_Rome @CrushCityShow @tylercstafford Everything is bad at this point except for the pen. It galls me to hear Yordan call last night's debacle "just another loss." No sense of urgency with 34 games left, and that flows from the top. And as I've been asking for weeks, why do the Astros refuse to call up Loperfido?

[Frank Christlieb @FLGChrist]

@Chandler_Rome Chandler, why are the Astros not calling up Loperfido, considering how solid he's playing at SL? Wouldn't he at least be a LH platoon option with Varsho, Trammell and Wade? Why did the Astros bring him back if they're just going to leave him in the minors? Thanks.

[Frank Christlieb @FLGChrist]

@RDK_Brown @brianmctaggart I've been saying that for weeks. No, he's not hurt and he's hitting almost .300 with an OBP of almost .400 and an OPS over .800. Boggles the mind why they haven't called up Loperfido.

[Frank Christlieb @FLGChrist]

@PH1Losophical @brianmctaggart Exactly, that's what I've been saying! They need to admit this trade was a bust and try other options before it's too late. And for God's sake, will someone please tell me why the hell they refuse to call up Loperfido, whose numbers at SL have been solid?!?

[Frank Christlieb @FLGChrist]

@brianmctaggart Why isn't anyone mentioning Loperfido or asking (like I have several times) why the Astros aren't calling him up? Is there some specific reason they're opposed to giving him another shot? Hasn't he shown enough at SL? Can someone *please* shed some light on this? Thanks.

[Frank Christlieb @FLGChrist]

@brianmctaggart @brianmctaggart Any insights on why the Astros haven't called up Loperfido? Wouldn't he be a better LH option than Trammell or Wade or the underperforming Varsho? At what point do they say we've got to have more production and call up Loperfido and platoon Varsho? Thanks.

[Frank Christlieb @FLGChrist]

@brianmctaggart Brian, do you have any thoughts on why the massively unproductive Dezenzo is still on the roster and the Astros refuse to call up Loperfido, as productive as he's been at SL? It just makes no sense to me. Thanks for any insight you might have.

[Frank Christlieb @FLGChrist]

@brianmctaggart @TracyMinks Tags, is the reason they refuse to call up Loperfido even though he's hitting over .300 with an OBP of nearly .400 and an OPS of .840 also because he doesn't hit lefties well? Why wouldn't they give a chance to a guy who'd clearly be a huge upgrade over anyone else they've tried?

[Frank Christlieb @FLGChrist]

@michaelschwab13 Hi Michael, what's your theory on why Dezenzo is still on the roster and Loperfido, who's been extremely productive at SL, hasn't been called up? Dezenzo is just wasting a roster spot. Is it because they want Joey to play every day? He and Trammell could platoon in LF.

@westjclint @jonmorosi @MLBNetwork Seriously? Bleday's a career .217 hitter. Why would we want/need him?

This Astros bobble head for Yordan Alvarez is a mic drop 🔥🎤

Alvarez is standing on the tweet the Astros sent out 10 years ago when they acquired him from the Dodgers…One of the most lopsided trades we’ve ever seen, and also came with negative reaction at the time.

Now, he’s in the middle of a MVP caliber season.

And on the bobblehead, he is standing on the tweet, with the World Series trophy in hand and the Cuban flag draped around his shoulders.

There are only 150 of them.

@brianmctaggart Terrible move DFA'ing Shewmake. You're going to tell me Nick Allen's defense is more valuable to this weak-hitting team than Shewmake's offensive contributions?!? Come on, Dana and Joe. Get a clue!!!

[Frank Christlieb @FLGChrist]

@matthewkawahara Not just because he's a fellow Aggie, but DFA'ing Shewmake is an awful move. He's made great contributions since the Astros picked him up, especially offensively. You're gonna tell me Nick Allen offers more at the plate, where we need more guys to come through, than Shewmake?

[Frank Christlieb @FLGChrist]

@Chandler_Rome Why would they send Delgado down? Seems like he'd been adding a lot of spirit, spunk and hustle to the roster and had been hitting well. Is it all because of Allen's defense? Surely they won't keep Delgado at SL long?

[Chandler Rome @Chandler_Rome]

Fifteen days ago, Spencer Arrighetti spoke up and pumped life into a place that needed it. The Astros have responded — and are rejuvenated - https://t.co/QbOV9z99uz

Lance McCullers Jr. has been scratched from his start tonight. Jason Alexander will pitch in his place.
