What is the usual outfield trio? Springer, Reddick, and Marisnick?

Beltran will get a lot of games in left, so will Aoki. Springer is the CF now, Reddick RF.

Correa steps up to the next level

Springer enters his prime

Altuve keeps priming

Bergman is gritty


All we need is 1st base and the back of the line up not to be a black hole.

Can't wait

What are they doing with Gurriel and Bregman?

Can't Gurriel play first?

That has to be the plan to start, I would hope. With White Platooning if Gurriel doesn't hit?

Correa didn't hit lefties well last year. That seems like something unusual.

Vs LHP

2015: .274/.343 9HR 8 doubles 26RBI in 124AB

2016: .236/.345 5HR 5 doubles 27RBI in 148 AB

I'm expecting a big year from him. I was reading an article recently that showed average exit velocity for the year and he had two obvious power outages that coincided with an ankle injury in June and shoulder injury at the end of the season.

Assuming he's healthy, I anticipate a bounce back against left handed pitching which will give him increased power numbers and average.

IMO standard lineup vs RHP to start the year at least

C McCann
1B Gurriel
2B Altuve
SS Correa
3B Bregman
LF Beltran
CF Springer
RF Reddick
DH Gattis

They'll use Aoki and the DH spot to give Beltran plenty of days out of the field I think

My best guess at the order

CF Springer
3B Bregman
2B Altuve
SS Correa
LF Beltran
C McCann
DH Gattis
RF Reddick
1B Gurriel

But who knows. Ideally I would like to see Altuve in the two spot and Correa third and Bregman in the 5 spot jumpstarting the second half of the lineup, but he seemed so much more comfortable at the top of the order

Can't wait. Debating going to this one or waiting for the Tuesday game....opening night is always such a cluster.

Reddick hits RHP well so he could fit somewhere at the top of the order to break up all the RH bats

If you got a login you should be good.

Remind me to check next rockets game but I am pretty sure I can steam them from my roku off the NBC sports app

Sounds like you can wait. It's one of the best days in all of sports. Will be pounding art cars in my 2017 DAT shirt.

If Hinch rolls out this lineup on a regular basis -- all I can say is the Astros will be absolutely destroying the division. If you have Beltran, Springer, Reddick, and Gattis as your bottom 4...
