    But, he would gain RISP while batting by hitting 4th. I'm not saying 4th is better than 3rd, or better than 1st. I'm just curious as to what the mathematically correct answer would be when accounting for all variables. Perhaps the analytics people with the Astros have determined the 3 hole is best and that's why he hasn't been moved in two months.

    Hinch has been awful with letting Keuchel go this year. Dude has gotta pull him after 100.

    That's the question isn't it? Still hurting your biggest rival while potentially upgrading over Rasmus and Gomez is intriguing.

    it's doing a disservice to Dallas, letting him stay way past 98 pitches. Either way Dallas pitched wonderfully.

    Hinch loves to keep Keuchel in too long

    Unfortunately, he won't have Altuve hitting in front of him.

    Does it matter if Giles comes in and pitches just as bad?

    Hinch has poor awareness. Just not too high on him as a manager. I keep hoping he will keep growing as time goes by.

    Not a fan of Giles but giles giving up a double and now a single with nobody on, rather than 2nd and 3rd, is a huge difference.
