Can I tell y’all a secret?  I’ve never really trusted JV in the post season. He’s had some absolute gems but he wouldn’t be the guy I picked to pitch for me if my life was on the line. he’s just kind of meh for his career in the post season and that is a long career by now. 
 

G1 of the ALDS after a full week off.  Not surprising.  I'll take him in G5 and feel great about it if this goes that long.  He will always be the 2017 ALCS MVP.

Warning track power the opposite way.  Until they start juicing the balls again at least.

Using Javier in a game we're down 3 is criminally stupid.  He should be starting Thursday.

Counterpoint-

if you are planning on starting him for game 4, and I think you should be, or Game 5 if you want to start JV in a game 4 instead, then he absolutely should pitch today to knock some rust off.

I hope that's it.  I fear it's the same old shit of putting him in the bullpen because "he's done it before" when he's one of our 2-3 best starters.

I’m going to choose to believe management knows what it’s doing in the playoffs until they prove they don’t. The roster today was good confirmation of that for me. If they don’t pitch him as a starter it’s terminally stupid. 
BTW- he’s not that great a reliever if you want to go look at his stats there.
