[UTexasFight 9515]

Staying  on pace for 30/30

[tx 3 putt 77217]

JJ and Jake back to back is brutal 

[UTexasFight 9515]

It’s going to be difficult to win consistently with only 6 batters

[WBT 20638]

41 pitches through 2 at least

We seem to be making a go of it

Are we looking at the same AAA stats?

Yeah he did pretty well for the IronPigs this year. Side note: Coca-Cola Park is a pretty cool MiLB stadium.

Javier seems positively gruntled.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Is it normal for a player on the injured list to travel with the team?  The Chron says LMJ is not yet close to a minor league rehab start.

I could see the benefits of keeping his head in the game, just don't know if that is typical.

If they want to watch his progress then yes. It’s a good sign imo.

Don't worry, we are taking care of that now.

streaming link mlb66.ir is simply gorgeous.  Every MLB game that day in perfect HD, no time lag at all, no stutter, no jitter, no pepper!  Just started using it this week, thanks for whoever mentioned it. 

Is there a similar beauty for the NFL/NBA?

[YChang 3455]

Way to get that first hit Jake!

[WBT 20638]

Y'all keep talking shit about Jake

[YChang 3455]

Come on, 3 run HR Jose

[WBT 20638]

Interesting they didn't have a bigger shift on machete.  I expect grounders that close to the mound to be outs these days

[OB3 3629]

Damn it Jose 

[clapclapclap 9000]

Seems like maybe Gerrit BorisInc knows that Jose is going to swing at the first pitch.

[WBT 20638]

Maybe score some runs?

[Gut Wagon 8083]

Win or lose, Javier is balling out big time today. Tremendous start. What's more, the bottom of our order just hit the ball pretty hard. Love that, even though we didn't get any runs across. Let's go.

[tx 3 putt 77217]

Need some runs 

[WBT 20638]

Bullshit stadium, that should have been a double

[tx 3 putt 77217]

Pinch run Siri !!!

[WBT 20638]

Way low

[WBT 20638]

Damn JJ, we wear shades at this level

[tx 3 putt 77217]

Javier !!!!

[WBT 20638]

10 Ks through 6 if that's any good.  I loved that little leg lift after getting Judge.

Still need some runs.

[tx 3 putt 77217]

JJ !!!!!!

[Wulaw Horn 19136]

Fuck off Cole. 
I love Javier. 

[rvm96 1643]

That's how you bat flip Donaldson

[OB3 3629]

JJ!!!

[tx 3 putt 77217]

He’s still getting sent down tomorrow 

[elfenix 34330]

Only hits home runs.

[Gut Wagon 8083]

Hope that ball beaned Jeffrey Maier.

Fuck off blue. That was two baseballs low on Meyers. 
After looking awful yesterday he’s had 3 decent AB’s today. 

[Guadaloopy 10988]

At least HPU is consistent with the ball two inches low.  

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

don't pull Javier, under any circumstance if he's still dealing.

[Mo Horn 8852]

JJ I only hit homeruns Matejevic

[Dennis Taylor 18846]

If it doesn't hit the dirt it's a fucking strike for Cole. Fucking ridiculous

But the stories he has to tell. Sunday night baseball HR and that nonsense around it becoming a story and a live interview on Sports Center and now this. 
Pretty cool. 
I’m not convinced he hasn’t jumped Jones at the 1B/LF opening for next year with. Rant key and a Yuli probably moving on. Hit the two HR’s and another couple balls hard. 
@Snake Diggity has been talking him up and I see a little bit of it now. 

[Wulaw Horn 19136]

Last inning for Javier no matter what (and yes- I know what’s going on right now). 

[cabowabo 4492]

God Damnit Bregman.

[tx 3 putt 77217]

Bregman has to make that play 100% of the time 

[Guadaloopy 10988]

Killing us, Bregs.  

[Dennis Taylor 18846]

Bregman is going Knoblauch on us...wtf

[Mo Horn 8852]

Bregman is really starting to piss me the fuck off. He's hit like shit this year, other than the last few games, and you have to make an easy throw there. 

[MirrOlure 14802]

Where did this version of Bergman come from? JFC he’s killing us in so many ways.
