Get two more and let’s bring in Brown for 2 innings to get his feet wet. He’s the guy I want starting game 7 since it can’t be Javier for whatever reason. 

Would be nice if the Astros can finish it in 6, so won't have to worry about who starts Game 7.

[Guadaloopy 11139]

That was gruntling. 

[utxmike05 1833]

I held everyone in their seat for the entire inning for good luck.  Dog, wife, kid. 
They left when Diaz came up lol. 
 

Rally hat I got her from Game 2.

Hopefully we’re done seeing Diaz

in fairness that was a good at bat cmon now. and he pulled one foul that was close to a double.

I’ve seen enough of Diaz

I guess look at the bright side. There aren't any camera cuts of him leading off any bases.

Javier will play the Charlie f'n Morton role.  Hypothetically.

how was that not a strike

I'm happy to be wrong but if it were to get there I don't see them starting Brown. Maybe as like the second guy into the game

He's not old. He ain't even 50 yet.

[cabowabo 4692]

Same pitch as before.  Now a strike. 

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19319]

Pitch 5 was a strike.

[cabowabo 4692]

Cmon ump.  Jesus.

Did he just say “most Hispanics….?”

[Macklemore 2945]

Fuck you Smoltz. Nola “deserved better”. Fuck you bitch.

I literally love Christian Javier.

They won’t. But I would if he’s good in whatever work he gets today.

Javier getting squeezed this inning and still dominating 

[Dnaguy 12712]

Fuck u Philly.

how do you like it?!

Doesnt feel good when the refs start calling holding does it?!

It would most likely still be Lance on a short leash.  That worked out in 2017.  He probably wouldn't get an RBI this time though.

[elfenix 34775]

Shutdown innings are good

[Amos Moses 795]

Atta boy, Javier

[Gourmand 7778]

Let's just win one inning at a time.

Cmon Stros keep battling.

Damn…he’s dealing tonight.

Keep it going.

[WBT 20997]

That quote from Cash about Javier was telling.  I'm just glad we didn't leave him in the bullpen for the playoffs again.

[UTexasFight 9819]

Just now, elfenix said:

Yeah 

that was pleasant after sitting for the loooong top half of the inning 

[Brisketexan 107009]

Wait…did Smoltz just talk about Javier’s line, while he’s still pitching? WTF?

[cabowabo 4692]

The most awkward moment in sports. 

[wood 11770]

Fucker's giving his best shot at jinxing us again.

[Dutchrudder 11247]

Javier is bringing it tonight, fucking legit. 

[StruggleBus 3922]

Props to Dusty for knowing we’d get shut out last night and not wasting Javier’s start

[tx 3 putt 78739]

little long

Only Manfred would smile during the cancer break

Dude… Bartolo retired from MLB in 2018.   In fact, he’s still pitching in the DR winter league.

People on this thread (that aren’t good at putting on the green) argued we should in August. I was apoplectic at the idea of ever not having him in the starting rotation. 

[Gut Wagon 8219]

Nola's ERA in the World Series is just under 9. He could have pitched way better and still deserved to lose.

Damn.  That Stand Up segment hit hard this year.   

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Valdez / Javier should be good for 4 wins a series.  Too bad LMJ pitched game 3, otherwise Javier would be game 7 as another posted upthread noted. 

Start Hunter Brown tomorrow or pull JV ASAP at any trouble in favor of Hunter/Garcia/Urquidy/Stanek. 

[Rockethorn1978 6206]

The bats have awoken

We also need to light up their shitty pitcher too

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Snydergaard for them tomorrow against JV with a 9.00 ERA 

[TonyTexas 10785]

Big inning here. Top of the Phillies lineup coming up. 3rd time through.
