[Official] Yankees @ Astros

looks like Castro will play 1st

 

Castro?

 

Castro at 1b. Oh boy...

 

They have. He's taken mucho infield practice in ST and in AAA and he is by all accounts not good.

 

Ah yes, Jason Castro. Our 1B who has never played the position before, and has a .481 OPS against lefties.

I probably would've just used Bregman at 3rd and let the pitcher hit.

 

But SEC all defense?

 

How would it work if you "give up the DH"? Does the pitcher bat?

 

We already have a pitcher hitting if you count Gomez

 

Hadn't heard this. Oh well. This is a bad position to be in to have to use Castro a 1b.

 

Very tough to do with a 3 man bench.

Nobody can explain that, as far as I've seen. He is not a tolerable MLB 1B by all accounts.

 

Fister is a .158 career hitter if we get desperate. Almost as good as Castro.

 

Lol, Castro gets cocky.

 

Yes. It's like when the Giants gave up the DH to let Bumgarner hit earlier this season vs Oakland. Pitcher bats in the spot of the DH

 

Castro almost killed Correa.

 

yeah game over

 

ugh f-ing dribble crap hits

killers

 

Wheres Bregman?

 

Valbuena tries and possibly throws out the man at home. Sigh...

 

I swear that dribble hit always gets Houston

 

Back to back games with cheap hits for a run.

Headleys game winner last night and Castro tonight.

Good lord.
