Who are some legit guys we can land at the Deadline? Know we need Starting Pitching and Bullpen help, potentially an Outfielder as well.

Tags only said that because the club told him so. I bet Tucker or White is coming back with Bregs. Worth DFA coming.

Luhnow just said it was "all texastiger38's fault for not standing up for him enough."



Reed's still the man at 1B eventually. I hope he learned a lot so he can be ready by next April.

I just don't think it was worth even bringing him up.

He could have had double the ABs if he stayed at Fresno

Completely agree. He had not earned a call up.

Also...

@AstrosFuture
Per sources, the #Astros are calling up top prospect Alex Bregman. He will join the team tomorrow in Houston.

It was worth bringing him up. They had to see what he was capable of and if he could help the team down the stretch. It was good experience for him too

Astros future is saying Bregs is coming up. Question is whether there is actually a 2nd move being made or if Tags was blowing smoke. Worth is definitely a candidate to come off the 40 man...

Well doesn't there have to be a 2nd move for Alex the Great?

ETA: Who walked in his first plate appearance tonight

Naw man, we wanted Reed to hit the ball.

Now we need White to hit the ball. And a couple more currently underperforming players, looking at you Ramus.

I hate that for Reed. But when you're in a playoff chase you can't always afford to let a rookie work through his struggles. Particularly when we don't have a strong offense pulling their own weight. But now he knows the areas he needs to improve and if he's still in the system, he's likely got a job in Houston next year.

If Bregman comes up, that shifts Val to first. With Reed gone, we need a DH. It's got to be either White or Tucker. Both are swinging it well in AAA. My guess is Tucker. He's been crushing AAA pitching and has more MLB success than White.

If he doesn't get called up tonight, he'll have to wear this tomorrow night
