[Official] Astros @ Angels

That's just it, a 3 run lead most certainly should be enough for our closer, so Marwin would only be out in LF one inning. As such, it seems pointless to faff about moving Springer out of the DH spot and rotating the outfield just for an inning.

To some extent, I would have found it quite amusing and interesting for them to have just shoved Correa straight into LF as a direct replacement for Kemp.

finally we're going to face a team with a 9th hitter that hits like a pitcher.

 

The Astros will activate Carlos Gomez before tomorrow's game. He is expected to be in tomorrow's lineup.

 

Removing the DH to get one inning in the OF for Springer would have been very Porterish
