At least the rest of the lineup has had competitive ABs against him so far. Pena looks helpless and non-competitive so far.
Has Back to The Future taught you guys anything? Even a small change in the past can change future events. If Altuve doesn't get picked off, then maybe Bregman and Tucker see different pitches and the Astros don't score. Let's go with Aluve being picked off as a catalyst to two runs.
Well according to LOST, whatever happens happens. If you try and change something, the universe course corrects back to the original plan…
I hate how little Dusty is playing Trey, but with JV on the mound, putting Mancini out in the field is a non-starter.
Not in the outfield, but why not at 1B? The difference between him and Yuli defensively is really not that much IMO. Gurriel has been the better scooper (Mancini is still solid in that area, though) but in terms of fielding grounders I'd say it's a push, if not slight edge to Trey.
