Haha if only my happiness directly affected the Astros! And true. How can we truly be in "tank mode" with Ambriz going to the minors???
I kind of doubt it based on Cosart's recent starts - I think they're still looking for consistency from him. I didn't realize that we didn't need a 5 man rotation next week though. This may just be Harrell missing one start before the ASG as a message.

Should we have kept Wallace in AAA as well since he had a sub .100 mlb average when we called him back up? Peacock is currently pitching better than Woj and Cosart in AAA and deserves another shot. Also no need to start their arbitration clocks yet.
Peacock has found his stride in Oklahoma City. I believe he'll get an opportunity to reclaim his rotation spot in Houston.
If it would be only one start and then several days off with the asb, I would rather Peacock stays on a normal rotation in AAA. If he could do it and stay on a somewhat normal rotation then that would be fine. If not let him keep his routine and give Ober or Clemens a spot start
