    But Jed was playing 3rd base for CC, right? And hasn't historically played 1st base, either...

    yeah, that would be more logical.

    most likely trade related.

    Should be a good one. Also going again myself.

    Section 125 Row 5 first row right behind the Astros dugout. I'll be in a orange Keuchel Korner t-shirt if anyone spots me on TV :cool:

    Hinchs constant lineup shuffling gets old for me but the record certainly speaks for itself, will just have to trust him on this one. Castro is due for a good game..this is going to be a statement game to end a huge series.

    Even if Castro doesn't do anything at the plate, Conger has lost it on defense lately

    Makes no sense to sit Singleton

    Carter struggles against FBs, but Shoemaker doesn't have much velocity. Maybe that is why Carter is in the lineup.

    Given that lineup, why not just leave Valbuena at 3B, Carter at 1B and have Lowrie as the DH?

    Valbuena and Lowrie both superior defenders to Carter

    Think they are probably just experimenting to see if it works. Then can tinker with leaving Carter out of the lineup if his struggles continue.

    Gattis?

    I get sitching the lineups, nut it's a mistake to take Gattis/Marwin out of the lineup. IMHO

    Cant stand Castro.
