They’re not going to break the corresponding move tonight, huh? Someone who isn’t blocked by Singleton’s wife needs to put the laser focus on her Twitter account.

My youngest daughter was born between games 2 and 3 of the WS in 2017 allowing me to go to game 3 in Houston. That was some good luck she brought.
If it was Singleton, not sure there'd be any reason to postpone the announcement, would there?

But then who is gonna have a baby every season?
Start now in case you have difficulties. You'll never think "damn i wish we didn't have these kids" but you'll definitely think "damn i wish we had these kids sooner" pr at a minimum be happy you started the process sooner if you run in to any trouble. I wish we started sooner so we could have had more. You won't regret it.
Pena has started off this season well and is playing hard, laying off sliders much better, and he's getting hits and getting on base with an OPS >800. Need to get that in front of Yordan and Tucker.
Bregman is sub 600 and just looks like he'd rather be at the stables tasting his latest salsa

Maybe Dana/Crane want to do it in person
Loperfido will mostly get looks in the outfield at first when he joins the Astros, per sources.

I don't know who the roster moves will be yet but I wouldn't expect Loperfido at 1B immediately.
But for the black hole at 1B this thread would be all over Bregman

Then you move/option an outfielder….

We don't have any to option.
Maybe Kessinger? I have to believe there's another love coming too to keep Cabbage around.
Might IL Meyers. Hasn't played much since getting hit so may decide to just let him rest.
Your current 1B going 0-4 again (how many hitless games is that?) certainly sped up Joey's call up and may speed up his chance at 1st. Good move.

I think if I bring that up to her right now, I might be sleeping on the couch for a while
Valdez (3), Verlander (2), Javier (4), Blanco (5) have started half of the #Astros 28 games.

Outfield is pretty well set and you've now called up two outfielders in a couple days

I mean Chas and Jake haven't been tearing it up
Joey Loperfido said he found out he was coming up when Sugar Land manager Mickey Storey told the club following Sunday's win in Reno: "It hit me like a ton of bricks. It was awesome.”

More Loperfido: "I was really trying to do my best to not put a timestamp on when I thought it would happen. You’re just trying to play well every day. I felt like I was doing that and hey, when the time comes it will be the right time and I’ll enjoy it and I’ll be present.”
— Brian McTaggart (@brianmctaggart) April 29, 2024
I'm assuming they called him up because both of our centerfielders are not really taking the job like they should, and he can also play first base
I'd imagine we see him in CF, DH and 1B this homestand

Positions that warrant competition/change: 1B, CF, and 3B
Do Jake or Chas have any options left?
Jake is doing just fine.

Julks being released? He's still on the 40 man.
Cabbage was up because we could carry one extra player (and it couldn't be a pitcher). I assume he goes back down now that we have to go back down to 26. Why not just call up Loperfido originally? Would have been a 40 man roster move and cabbage gave you plenty of depth with basically the same positions covered.GigEM96 said:

Hate to say it but beating a moribund Rockies squad twice in a trick location, as welcome as it was, doesn't answer the major questions facing the franchise.
That it took being in a 12 game under 500 hole to trigger these moves is frustrating

My guess is Whitley on 60 day to clear a 40 man spot and Jake on the IL to clear a 26 man spot.agproducer said:

Well, if he could get enough to qualify

Whitley hurt again?!
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

Cabbage has played 1B in MLB a little
Need to move Bregman down in the order

I understand what you're saying, but at the very least the team needed to have that winning feeling again. Everyone was in on the action on offense, at least a little bit. Can't hurt to build confidence and that sort of thing.GigEM96 said:

Even if it was the rockies. Besides, they couldn't do it against the Nats or Cubs
Do dogs lick their own arse?
At a bare minimum, Loperfido is a savage when you're playing Scrabble.
