    So, in your latest incarnation, why did you move Correa from 4th to 3rd? 3rd certainly qualifies as the heart of the lineup and, historically, most teams put their best hitters there.

    That wasn't your opinion 2 days ago. What reason do we have to think it will be your opinion 2 days from now?

    Like any woman, he's allowed to change his mind on a whim.

    Carlos Beltran has a .546 OPS with runners on base, .523 with RISP. *******.

    Appears to be clear that Correa should be leading off. Stupid Hinch

    Dude, Aoki. That's who you want having the most PAs on the team.

    Where did you get that bs? 2 days ago, I had him batting 1st against RHPs. So, what's your problem?

    That's my
    i think you're wasting my time. Don't be an *******. Hinch changes up his batting order daily. So do I. It's not about you. It's about whether or not the Astros buy in.

    Everyone has a right to change their mind, including Hinch.

    To save everyone here some time, I can tell you they don't. They are intelligent people and do not make idiotic decisions based on two days of data. Your time away from here did not make you smarter. Perhaps your next username will have a bit more luck?

    So, if Hinch changes the lineup everyday (which he does and we all recognize he does), why did you come in here to complain about the lineups?

    Luhnow bought in. And I bought in after seeing Correa get 4 hits with bases empty. 2 days of data? you're illiterate...

    Yet you just started watching again? Why don't you just listen and learn and not talk for a while?

    It's either that or you will be thoroughly and comprehensively mocked. Nonstop.

    Made that Bill Gates money yet? When you do, you can buy your own team and make the decisions you want.

    This group of position players are all fitting the bill. Even Marisnick (hitting .320, playing gold glove D and being one of the many fun, smart and competing guys on the club), Marwin being tied for 3rd in HR's and putting up all-star numbers in April, Aoki, Bregman, Yuri, etc are all producing and being major factors in wins.

    AJ Reed, Teoscar Hernandez are probably the only two legit contenders to compete for a 13th position player spot if Hinch wanted it.

    It's going to be very tough for prospects too crack this group. Keeping Teo, K Tucker, Fisher is big. It's possible Aoki & Beltran aren't around after this year and Reddick is really a bridge to whoever develops.

    Lack of quality depth in pitching prospects is why I wouldn't give up Martes, F Perez & Whitley. Beyond that I don't know. McCullers is a mainstay, Musgrove (aside from the Pujols HR that ruined what would have been a solid start with 5+ IP's and less than 3 runs in every start) is probably not far behind. Keuchel and Morton will at least be here for this season and the 2018 campaign. McHugh, Fiers probably won't remain Astros beyond this season
