Jordan Lyles Called Up, Wandy To DL

Wow. I guess those high pitch counts were too much for Wandy's elbow, but Jordan Lyles will make his major league debut on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs (h/t to Astros County).

I really don't like this move.

There is nothing to gain by bring up Lyles in a lost year. I’d have rather had him continue to gain experience in AAA and bring up a stop-gap like Figueroa. What’s done is done, though, and I hope Lyles acquits himself well here in the majors.

I really hope it is not too soon

I know there are ton of people super pumped about this and dont gey me wrong I am too but I hope he is ready. He is comming off a few really good starts so lets hope it transitions.

Looks like Wade is trying to save his Job

So he can tell Crane I drafted this guy

Also

If they are bringing Lyles up dont you think they should shake things up from top to bottom in the farm system. Lets make this our mid year,

Not a fan of the move. But now that it’s done, I cross my fingers and hope for the best.

These are my same feelings.

I hope that the wind isn’t blowing out at Wrigley for his debut.

This is a STUPID move Ed.

Ed is trying to save his job by this move

I was excited cuz I just paid $6 to get MILB.TV to watch Lyles pitch in his next start...

Looks like I’ll just have to turn it to FS-Houston…

Do not like this move, but if they are going to start this why not do like Nado said and have an early season shakeup in the minors.

by astrosfan1989 on May 28, 2011 4:28 PM CDT up reply actions

BTW anyone know why there are never any hooks games on MILB.tv

by astrosfan1989 on May 28, 2011 4:30 PM CDT up reply actions

They must not have a broadcast crew yet...

Although it does depend on where they play at too.

by Irish Pete on May 28, 2011 4:53 PM CDT up reply actions

Yea i know they have been out of town and im pretty sure they do have a crew so who knows.

by astrosfan1989 on May 28, 2011 4:56 PM CDT up reply actions

TV crew apparently doesnt go on the road with the team

by StrosSouth on May 29, 2011 7:14 PM CDT up reply actions

I’ll be cheering for success but hope that he will return to AAA for more seasoning once Wandy comes back.

by pacbellpilgrim on May 28, 2011 4:17 PM CDT reply actions

I am excited

Do I think he’s ready? I think he’ll handle it okay. But I also wanted him to keep playing in triple A so when he does get called up, he’ll be 100% ready. But they called him up now. I want to see him pitch so, it will be exciting to see what he can do.

So who moves up from Corpus to take his spot?

by astrosfan1989 on May 28, 2011 4:28 PM CDT reply actions

Gustavo Chacin is starting tonight.

So I think he is taking Lyles’ spot in the rotation.

I think he took VIllar’s spot.

by MadMartygan on May 28, 2011 4:41 PM CDT up reply actions

Chacin and Arguello switched spots. I think Figgy took Villar’s spot.

Oh ok. Makes sense.

by MadMartygan on May 28, 2011 4:44 PM CDT up reply actions

Lyles wasnt sposed to pitch tonight was he. He pitched wed thats only 3 days rest

by astrosfan1989 on May 28, 2011 4:57 PM CDT up reply actions

He would not have pitched tonight. I think monday or tuesday.

by MadMartygan on May 28, 2011 5:11 PM CDT up reply actions

Monday in Nashville…thanks Ed wade!!!!

by Subber10 on May 28, 2011 10:35 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions

I'm not a fan of the move.

but i will admit, I am pretty amped to watch him pitch.

by MadMartygan on May 28, 2011 4:42 PM CDT reply actions

Wow

I just pulled up TCB to read some more of Timmy’s Saturday’s links and did not expect to see this. I don’t really know what to say. I only read the headline and immediately checked the Astros website to see if he was pitching in Houston so I could by tickets, but that’s not the case. If he stays with the big league club throughout Wandy’s DL stint then he will make his home debut against the Braves I believe, and I would be there. I am definitely excited to get to watch him, but really wished they would have gave him this year in the minors. Like want others have said what’s done is done so now I will hope for the best.

As far as the minors shakeup comments go, I was originally against that type of thinking, but now I’m not for sure. What purpose does Figgy and The Hyphen serve if there not called up in this situation. They are depth in case of injury to keep from burning a prospect. If your not going to use them in that capacity then what purpose do they serve. I guess they are for emergency only now.

by conroestro on May 28, 2011 4:42 PM CDT via mobile reply actions

Did Cancel get called up?

by MadMartygan on May 28, 2011 4:46 PM CDT reply actions

Yes

by BustaPozee on May 28, 2011 4:48 PM CDT up reply actions

Yeah he did. Q went on the disabled list. Wonder if they will pair Cancel and Lyles together since their is some familiarity there.

by conroestro on May 28, 2011 4:49 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions

Sounds like a solid idea.

by MadMartygan on May 28, 2011 4:54 PM CDT up reply actions

Yea that would make alot of sence especially since JR is not the best guy to work with pitchers

by astrosfan1989 on May 28, 2011 4:58 PM CDT up reply actions

Not too happy about this, but what’s done is done. Hopefully it’s only for a short time and he ’s on an innings cap, which I would assume would be the case anyway.

Will I ever get to where I'm going?
If I do, will I know when I am there?
