Carter 1st half as been so drastically different it’s been almost shocking, hell some people have actually forgot that Chris Carter has a throne in Astros supporters sides. Back in late May Carter was benched by manager at the time Bo Porter and bam it work, Carter came back with a shorter swing and a new Chris Carter was born.
