Dusty would never do this because it's too smart and something Belichick would do... He should announce Abreu as the opener and bullpen game. Bochy puts Carter in the lineup. Framber then comes in to face Carter. Rangers then FREAK out and pull Carter for Grossman burning a bench player and leaving them exposed defensively if Grossman gets hurt. They will not let Carter hit lefties. He has ZERO hits against lefties in the majors. This then gives Framber a beginning of his day against weaker hitters...
It'll be interesting to see what the umpires do if one of our guys gets hit. I think it would be on accident if it's early in the game, but the umpires will have to make a pretty big decision there.
Man this day is dragging. All these f**king day games I don't want and they have to wait until 7 on a Sunday the Texans aren't even playing.
Get a big enough lead to go head hunting... but don't because we can play mind games to make them get no hit.
Judging the first two games as indication, Astros just need to avoid being unlucky to finish this series tonight. Rangers have had ALL the luck this series, especially games 1 and 2.
