George Springer’s hamstring injury last night led Astros fans to quickly go through the stages of grief:
·and finally, demanding that Yordan Alvarez be called up.
Astros Twitter can confirm the demand.
Some used gifs to convey their point.
Some gave survey answers that make no sense, but make perfect sense
But seemingly all agreed with this sentiment.
The Astros responded by calling up Derek Fisher to take Springer’s roster spot, leaving Alvarez in Round Rock.
So why did the Astros ignore the wisdom of the Twitter masses and keep Alvarez in AAA for now.
