    Only starter rested and available on a few hours notice, nothing else to read into.

    Well, not "only", I offered to step up, they declined.

    We had an off day on Thursday…why couldn’t we just move Javier up and have Bielak start a game against the Royals?

    Do we have a time machine?

    They mentioned something about me being "old as ****" and brought up how I haven't thrown a ball over 80 MPH in 15 years when they told me they were going a different direction.

    It was harsh, but fair.

    Hey, we’ve been cleansed in the shadow of the eclipse - behold what a World Series champion looks like, Astros 13 Rangers -1

    When the moon is in the Seventh House
    And Jupiter aligns with Mars
    Then peace will guide the planets
    And love will steer the stars

    This is the dawning of the Age of Astros
    The Age of Astros!
    Astros! Astros!

    Starters have a very regimented routine, you don't just casually move a core starter up on a few hours notice. Particularly this early in the season.

    Sucks about framber.
    Awesome for Henley.
    This could be his only major league appearance

    Best case…strained elbow….back after the ASB. Worst case…he’s toast for 24 and part of 25.

    Maybe Henley shows something... never know...

    Probably not much of a book on him yet...

    Tommy John for Framber right now would be an absolutely devastating turn of events for both Valdez and the Astros.

    Then it’s season over and trade Bregman and Pressly for prospects.

    If it was our offense against him? No doubt.

    That’s my guess.

    Looked at Henley minor league stats…4.47 ERA. Has control issues. He should fit in well.:(
