Javier: “so because he sucks at this, I lose my role and have to do it!?”

 

“Welcome to corporate America”

 

Yeah it’s really dumb. I could plow my 5 acres with a thoroughbred but I’d rather use him to run the Derby. 

[kevwun 15608]

I am ok with it now I guess, but absolutely no way in hell in the playoffs unless it's a round where we don't need 4 starters.

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Garcia quickly demonstrates why he has the worst ERA among our starters. Too many meatballs. 

[huge 3788]

promising start

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Vazquez…professional hitter?

[Guest]

Pretty little hit machine.

[tx 3 putt 76298]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, Trey the Truth !!!

[Mo Horn 8807]

These new guys are making Click look like a genius

[Guest]

Boom!Boom!Boom! Mancini

 

Just call him Tre....

[billfromlaketravis 11358]

That’s a bad man right there. 

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Take that, Twinkies. 

We really do need to hold onto Trey. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Mancini!

loud out in Bmore is a 3 run dinger in Htown. He’d have near 30 HRs now if he played here all year according to the expected stats

[Telegraph_it 3354]

Why are we playing Mancini? Oh that’s why.

Is that assuming every game is at Minute Maid or does it take into account the Astros schedule?

[billfromlaketravis 11358]

Maybe they sent the wrong guy to the bullpen? 

[The Dog 43785]

[rvm96 1643]

Javier is also 1 inning away from a career high in innings pitched so that could be part of it.

Don’t start me lying how they figure it. But I know his adjusted home runs adjusted for Minute Maid were 23 I believe when he actually had 10. I didn’t even know they figured that stuff. 

[runthebone 7931]

Garcia shouldn't start a single fucking playoff game, so why change Javier's role

They just transfer every ball he hit at Camden and  assume it was hit at MMP instead

He's not going to start a playoff game unless a couple guys get injured. You only need three pitchers in the ALDS. Dusty and Click aren't moving LMJ to the pen. So how else do you use Javier if not in the pen?

Edited August 26, 2022 by Seasick Sailor

[runthebone 7931]

Our best 3 starters are JV, Framber, and Javier.  LMJ has to prove he can be better than Javier.

[tx 3 putt 76298]

le sigh, warning track power 

[Guadaloopy 10917]

Mr. Single. 

[tx 3 putt 76298]

more runs, this twins team is scrappy

 

[WBT 20411]

Vazquez is still sporting that .000 ISO as an Astro

[henrygandorf 29174]

can we have a short discussion about this ~new sound effect at mmp that sounds like a car slowly driving by blasting its terrible bass?

i like when we do good stuff, i do not like this sound that accompanies it.  i'm torn.

is there a petition i can sign?  maybe it sounds good in person?

[texashorne 1177]

We need to figure out how to get Garcia to pitch 2 innings before the actual game starts.

Or just move him to where, you know, he pitches 2 or more innings after the actual game starts 

[cabowabo 4451]

Luis ain't making the playoff roster.

[UTexasFight 9375]

Ooof, Jake.

Yep, and neither should Meyers. He is such a defensive liability right now.

[UTexasFight 9375]

What’s the average time of game in Garcia starts?

2 hours in, heading to the bottom of the 5th

(yes I realize a lot of tonight is on archer.)

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Meyers in CF just aggravates the hell out of me. There is no way he is in a major league outfield next year. 

[UTexasFight 9375]

Duran Vs Yordan will be entertaining

[Limp Brisket 546]

He’s quite the offensive equivalent to Maldy, too.  Maybe worse lately.

[cabowabo 4451]

I hope Dusty is learning something tonight watching Vazquez.

[Limp Brisket 546]

Wow lol

[WBT 20411]

I don't love taking the bat out of Mancini's hands there

[WBT 20411]

Why is Smith pitching with a 2 run lead?

[David Dennison 18646]

That's one way to get an out.

[WBT 20411]

Yordan had Miranda

Spoiler

dead to rights

 

[HtownHorn 14468]

I say let's have the teams run the bases and the one with the most outs due to TOOTBLANS loses the game. Kinda like inverse shootouts in soccer.

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Garcia to Smith to Maton is a bold strategy, Cotton. 

[wood 11121]

Pretty sure Maton is a robot.

[WBT 20411]

Maton with a good inning

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Has Jake never heard of a slump buster? Go find a fat girl kid.
