They need to hurry and announce when JV is going to start. And if we’re going 6 man rotation or 5.

I’m in Detroit at the end of august and trying to triangulate when he might start …and tickets are starting to creep up for that series 

 

JV said today he thinks he’s starting Saturday. But the club hasn’t made it official.

[TonyTexas 10,510]

 

[UTexasFight 9,431]

So guessing we going Framber, Javier, Brown, JV, Urquidy.

or are we going to add a 6th in the rotation to that?

So we keeping Beilak in the rotation or going with 5 man?

the plan since early summer was a 6 man rotation in August to rest up arms some and keep everyone sharp. I thought verlander didn’t like the 6 man rotation ?

Looking at the schedule, I’d bet we’ll use a 6 man until September when we have every Thursday off. 

[tx 3 putt 76,905]

We have all Thursdays off in September, that schedule will work great for us 

[Scraps 13,561]

Just a PSA -  

Tonight's game is on FOX and tomorrow is an Apple TV+ game 

[Scraps 13,561]

Keuchel got called up by Minnesota lol

Knew I was forgetting someone. Just a guy named JP who’s been our most consistent guy the past 2 months 

…which would mean JV will pitch Sunday in Detroit. When I’ll be on a flight back home. 
dammit

he can still pitch on regular rest if they do it right.

[runthebone 7,968]

Or maybe JV can pitch on 6 days rest and go more than 5 innings in the playoffs.  Just spit balling here!

They did that a lot last year. Set it up so Javier gets most of the extra days. He’s been pitching better on more rest. 

[Scraps 13,561]

Fuck the Yankees

[Scraps 13,561]

France standing there watching JVs bullpen session.

He ain't no dummy

[runthebone 7,968]

They're not going to boo Altuve or throw him a first pitch fastball, right?

[WBT 20,561]

Booooooooooooooooooo!!!

Cheater!!1!

[WBT 20,561]

Cool bunt attempts bro

[Texas St. Armadillos 1,381]

Nice basketball jersey giveaway, Yanks.   Looks like the '95 Orlando Magics.

[David Dennison 18,854]

Oooooh, Alexander. Yikes.

[TexArcher 37,774]

Breggy's seen some flat fastballs at 93 that caught a lot of the plate and he couldn't get them.

Annnnnd, there he goes.  Shit.

[tx 3 putt 76,905]

Solid pitch on strike 3

[Gut Wagon 8,065]

As soon as the "he walks more than he strikes out" comment was made, you pretty much knew what was coming.

And that's why that cockholster said it.

[runthebone 7,968]

Not elevated enough

[WBT 20,561]

lots of pitches

[Huckleberry 32,851]

But at least Javier was comfortable as Maldonado called nothing but fastballs until Stanton caught one. 

[Scraps 13,561]

Nice placement dildo

[Limp Brisket 546]

Javier will look better in the 2nd right?

[runthebone 7,968]

Shit

[Hornsbay22 467]

Dumbass Maldy only calling fastballs.

[TexArcher 37,774]

Somebody reset the X-Box.

[tx 3 putt 76,905]

Damn 

[Honeysucklerose 987]

Yikes

[Gut Wagon 8,065]

Not a lot of hop on those heaters. At least, not until they're hit. 

[Honeysucklerose 987]

This is a ton of pitches. A freaking ton

[runthebone 7,968]

How are they hitting all these 93 mph fastballs down the middle?

[runthebone 7,968]

Playoffs would be Framber JV Brown France right now?

[runthebone 7,968]

Nice to have Meyers after Chazzz followed by Maldonado. 

[Scraps 13,561]

Big opportunity. Don't fuck it up dudes

[Rockethorn1978 6,077]

Javier doesn’t have it. Take him to the pen.

[WBT 20,561]

Productive out!  Was looking like we were on a path to waste 2nd and 3rd and no outs.

Told y'all Machete was gonna come through!

Fox Broadcast team spy on our thread

Bizarro inning.  RBIs from Jake and Maldy and outs by Chas and Altuve.
