[UTexasFight 9,375]

Staying  on pace for 30/30

[tx 3 putt 76,296]

JJ and Jake back to back is brutal 

[UTexasFight 9,375]

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

[WBT 20,411]

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 9,000]

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 3,430]

Way to get that first hit Jake!

[WBT 20,411]

Y'all keep talking shit about Jake

[YChang 3,430]

Come on, 3 run HR Jose

[WBT 20,411]

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

[OB3 3,608]

Damn it Jose 

[clapclapclap 9,000]

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

[WBT 20,411]

Maybe score some runs?

[Gut Wagon 8,052]

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 76,296]

Need some runs 

[WBT 20,411]

Bullshit stadium, that should have been a double

[tx 3 putt 76,296]

Pinch run Siri !!!

[WBT 20,411]

Way low

[WBT 20,411]

Damn JJ, we wear shades at this level

[tx 3 putt 76,296]

Javier !!!!

[WBT 20,411]

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 76,296]

JJ !!!!!!

[Wulaw Horn 18,968]

Fuck off Cole. 
I love Javier. 

[rvm96 1,643]

That's how you bat flip Donaldson

[OB3 3,608]

JJ!!!

[tx 3 putt 76,296]

He’s still getting sent down tomorrow 

[elfenix 34,169]

Only hits home runs.

[Gut Wagon 8,052]

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 10,917]

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

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

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

[Mo Horn 8,807]

JJ I only hit homeruns Matejevic

[Dennis Taylor 18,690]

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 18,968]

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

[cabowabo 4,452]

God Damnit Bregman.

[tx 3 putt 76,296]

Bregman has to make that play 100% of the time 

[Guadaloopy 10,917]

Killing us, Bregs.  

[Dennis Taylor 18,690]

Bregman is going Knoblauch on us...wtf

[Mo Horn 8,807]

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 14,617]

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