    Cosart no hits Rays thru 6 1/3 innings and is sent down to minors after game.

    The braintrust hard at work in the Astros organization. I don't know. This article/blog below saying how it's the right move. What do you think?

    No big deal, just keeping him on his normal pitching day.

    I'm sure he'll be back at some point.

    standard roster move.

    don't send him down= he sits around and does not pitch at all until July 23

    send him down= he gets to make a minor league start and he will also still most likely start July 23 for the Astros

    smart move by Astros around the All-Star bread

    Agree w/ posters #3&4

    Let the kid continue to develop in the best case scenario
    Houston or Round Rock, those coaches know better than us

    Don't agree with post #2 though,
    not everybody sent down dies

    It is just one start so too early to judge him at the mlb level. He will probably be good but too soon to keep putting him out there against major league hitters. No reason to rush it

    round rock is no longer the AAA affiliate of the astros. when nolan ryan (who owns the express) became president of the rangers, the two clubs agreed to swap AAA teams. rangers are in round rock. astros are in oklahoma somewhere.

    minor league clubs aren't owned by the major league team. major league teams contract with owners of minor league teams to have their club's players play there. the GM of minor league team don't make any decisions about player development, starters, or anything personnel related. i guess they just make those dumbass promotions.

    He'll definitely be in Houston permanently when Bud Norris is traded.
