There is no longer chatter of whether he’ll be called up. The only mystery is when the Astros and general manager Jeff Luhnow will promote Bregman to a team that’s clawed itself back into American League West contention.

He’s making a mockery of the minor leagues,” Cryer (minor league scout) said. “Everyone’s just waiting for him to keep his foot on the gas and ride it.”

ESPN’s Jim Bowden reported Tuesday night the club was expected to call Bregman up “as early as this weekend.” Manager A.J. Hinch debunked the report MLB Network Radio, saying Bregman would not join the team this weekend in Seattle.

Instead, Bregman boarded an airplane to New Orleans on Wednesday, one day ahead of his Fresno Grizzlies’ four-game series with the Zephyrs. He will play baseball in Louisiana, the state in which this rapid professional journey was set into motion, for the first time since departing LSU.

Bregman said he will exhaust the Grizzlies’ limit of will-call tickets, hoping to see purple and gold mixed with orange and blue in the Zephyr Field stands.

He's hitting high of .380 and crushed 5 homers in 3 weeks. Basically 16 RBIs, versus only 7 strikeouts, in 42 at bats.

Ridiculous.

(ETA: If you drop his first couple of games, he's hitting over .400)

He's actually doing better in AAA than AA

With a limited sample size though.

Looks like Luhnow is allowing Bregman to play in front of his old "home team" crowd before making the call. Cheers to him if that is the case, but I can't wait to see him in Houston.

Yeah, that's pretty cool if that is why he is waiting to call him up. I'll also be attending more games when he does finally get the call.

How is it possible to do better at that level of baseball than college?

I honestly don't understand.
