    The only way for Carter not to start is to have Lowrie play again.

    Last 28 plate appearances:

    Lowrie - 0 hits, 2 walks, 0 RsBI, 0 R (0 teammates hurt)
    Carter - 5 hits, 3 walks, 2 RsBI, 2 R (1 teammate hurt)

    Talking about a HR, or he is going to put another teammate out of commission?

    I will take Lowrie.
    It is an absolute joke that Carter is on the Astros roster, not to mention starting. There are a number of better options in the minors. The coach and GM are asking to have it blow up in their face.

    I'm not so sure Correa counts as only 1 teammate...

    Is there any possibility that we call up AJ Reed or someone like that once rosters expand?

    Brian Mctaggert on 790 says that's probably not going to happen and it will probably a 3rd catcher, Fields, another lefty, Stassi etc.

    Why was Marwin arguing that pitch it was a definite strike

    Santana's Fastball velocity is better than it has been this year.

    Rough start. Hurts when the ump calls a strike a ball, and you aren't hitting your spots.
