Okay I might start to believe Abreu isn't dead yet if he's going to turn on inside fastballs like that. 

6th HR in the last 24 days.

Every major leaguer should be able to turn on a 93.5 mph fastball on the inner half halfway up in the zone, but damn good to see him send it 450+ at 111 off the bat

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Get him out of there. Clearly not right. 

[Rip76 4913]

Nice things.

Can we have them?

[Wishbone 4731]

Fuck

[David Dennison 18646]

Good grief.

[Smax 3800]

Pull him

[cabowabo 4451]

Get your shit together Javier.  

[HtownHorn 14468]

He's done Dusty. He needs 2 weeks off.

[Gourmand 7774]

Javier sucks now

His 7-14-28 day splits are very encouraging.

[David Dennison 18646]

They've got to figure out what's happened to his velocity.

Wonder if He is experiencing a dead arm since He has not really been a full time starter that long.

Yes they should but he spent over two months not doing it. Hence the first glimmer of hope that the improvement is real. 

[APMP 685]

Not trying to be a dick but do you not listen with sound on? Because Kalas and Blum have beat that into the ground for awhile now. They comment on it daily

Lol nope, sound off usually and been traveling

[cabowabo 4451]

Javier isn't fooling anyone.  

[runthebone 7931]

Javier's fastball is shit when it's not elevated

Except Dusty.

[David Dennison 18646]

He's a run machine.

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Another horrible start by Javier. We're lucky our offense came to play today

[cabowabo 4451]

Another terrible effort for Javier.

[David Dennison 18646]

Holy shit.

[cabowabo 4451]

Dusty is a fucking idiot.  Fixing to be 10-8.

[Gourmand 7774]

gonna lose this game because of Javier and Dusty

 

[HtownHorn 14468]

Holy shit, Baker should be fired for this inning alone.

[David Dennison 18646]

Oh, sure, just let them have another base runner. No big deal.

[UTexasFight 9375]

I think the Framber issue forced the hand here. I think they were looking for a reason to push Javier back but not having Framber and Javier this weekend would have been too much  

[UTHornFan014 710]

Dusty Baker is a moron

[Guadaloopy 10918]

Quit trying to qualify him for a win, Dusty.  The most important piece of that stat is that you actually have to win the game.

[David Dennison 18646]

Here guys. Have a RISP on us.

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Y'all chill. Dusty's doing the thinking. 

[Halohal 498]

Dusty trying be everybody friends. Wonder what kind of loose lips he will have during All Star day

[David Dennison 18646]

We're trying our best to blow a 10-2 lead.

Wow.

I heard a story when Baker was in Chicago, he pissed off plenty of vets. One would take a crap every day where he would sit in the dugout.

[Lat22 3994]

We’re going to blow this game. 

[HtownHorn 14468]

I absolutely love the idea of bringing in Maton after Javier because they throw similar pitches with the same speed.

[Wulaw Horn 18968]

Dusty baker and Martin maldonado are first rate morons. 
soarky said maldonado had his mask on and that means keep him in. 
how can Dusty be around the game for 75 years and trot him out there for the 5th. 

[Wishbone 4731]

This is some first class dumbfuckery by Dusty. I’ll be happy when we move on from him.

If we do, it will be the worst loss of the season, bar none.

[runthebone 7931]

Holy shit, haha.  Glad I am at work.

[elfenix 34170]

I have a quick conference and all hell breaks loose

Dusty Baker has allowed Maldy to mismanage the game.

[Gut Wagon 8052]

I'm seeing a 13-12 final. Hope we have the 13. 

[Guadaloopy 10918]

Get a haircut, hippie.

[David Dennison 18646]

Show of hands: who thinks we win?

Be honest.

[Honeysucklerose 957]

We are winning this.

not it.

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

We finally get the bats going early and our pitching is dog shit. Of course.

[Chuckie Finster 22598]

Javier and Framber being ace-like is a non-negotiable component of playoff success for this team. If we are not confident that we can get both of them fixed by playoffs, then we better not trade away a single valuable prospect.
