Neither are good vs left handed pitching. Also, Marwin Gonzalaz - in the 6th home - is horrible vs lefties. It's a real problem right now.
And play him when? He's a left handed hitter so doesn't make an ideal platoon with Rasmus. There's not many spot starts between spelling Springer and Marisnick. The only way he would play is if you wanted to bench Carter.
Well who doesn't want to bench Carter? Hitting a home run once every 10 games, and failing to make contact consistently doesn't justify the right to bat in the 5 hole of a Major League lineup. Last year was a fluke.
These commentators are idiots, they said he made a couple of good throws last night but didnt get his guy. Really? Encouraged by tonights throw though. WTF? FELDMAN?
ha. only reason why the Astros aren't down more than 4 after the 1st inning is because of stupid base running by the rangers: Fielder at Home (though close) and Corporan with a bad jump to steal. SMH. This could be a very short outing for Feldman .
