Javier coming out in the 6th did zero harm for the Astros - and it gave Javier a chance to stretch it out. Look - this isn't directed at you, but...
He would have gone out in the 10th for the save - but they are not using him for two innings for a tie. I didn't have a problem at all with Hader...
You wanted to pull Javier after 4 innings? The reason I ask is because the Royals did not score in the 6th inning. They scored in the 5th...
He is similar to a lot of the pitching prospects the Astros have called up over the last 7-8 years. Some of them like Javier or Urquidy got some...
He was better than KPJ day one - he didn't beat the **** out of his girlfriend in a hotel and get released.... Henderson actually made an NBA team...
Yeah that was stupid - but whatever, Jalen is like 22 years old. I do know his girl will get sick of that ****.
Dude is a good player but he always looks awkward moving in space on the floor. Like someone walking in the dark trying not to stub their toe.
Ehh - if they really knew he was cooked, he wouldn’t be playing. They have played him a lot so far. Pinch hitting for him when he is struggling...
Jose Abreu was the target before Brown was ever hired - James Click wanted him, as did the manager and owner. Only criticism of Brown I have is...
The good news is that they don’t look overmatched- even with inconsistencies, they are just shooting themselves in the foot. One thing I have...
There was some degree of bad luck - but mostly it was just poor execution by the offense. Im not impressed by Espada so far, but I’m not pinning...
Singleton shouldn’t be on the roster. Abreu will get more time but this is getting old too… just sign Belt and move on. Also - Jake Meyers...
Meyers is worthless with the bat. I’m not sure how much longer before they finally move on from him.
The offense apparently went back to the hotel
Abreu should be able to hit this guys stuff
Montero also seems to be executing his pitches better. That helps a lot. As for Espada and his decision on Javier, I support that call so early...
I don’t have an issue with Espada trying to push him to go out there after 79 pitches. He will need to go more than 5 if we make the playoffs....
Conditioning… loss of command….hitters get to see him another time through the order. He has a lot of talent and stuff - but he has to get over...
You would be surprised. I have had quite a few people argue it with me.
People are going to jump on Espada - but at some point Javier needs to get through these types of innings. Only at 79 pitches entering the inning.
