Nope. Need Javier to not give up runs and Dusty not to push his luck with him. 

I would pull him after this inning (and possibly in this inning) depending on how things play out 

[Wulaw Horn 19599]

Fucking arsonist up. Just give him a clean inning. Hell, bring nerris in with guys on base. He only feels alive pitching with traffic or when he cuts himself. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2117]

Double play let’s go

[UTHornFan014 755]

Fucking throw strikes!

[cabowabo 4692]

Got to pull him now.

[Rockethorn1978 6206]

More walks! Awesome!

[WBT 20997]

5 BBs and 1 hit allowed.  Challenge them.

[Js1 87287]

Puckering factor: a million

[Smax 3800]

Wow

[Js1 87287]

And of course we got screwed on that

[BrazilHorn 6855]

That’s a Big 12 referee call right there for the walk. Jeez.

[HOOKEM4 5198]

HUUUUGE

[WBT 20997]

Nice recovery.  Maybe stop walking people when they haven't touched you?

[cabowabo 4692]

He got out of a third jam. Can believe it.

[Guest]

El Reptil has earned 17 outs in 5 innings.

Respecto mucho.

[Wulaw Horn 19599]

Phew. 
mid Dusty sends him out for the 6th he needs to be electroshocked. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2117]

Some intestinal fortitude right there!!

Meanwhile I’m shitting myself 

[DaysOff 8222]

Didn't see that coming

TOOTHPICK WISDOM SAYS CRISTIAN GO CLEAN YOUR OWN ROOM

What a job by Javier.

[Stros121 3]

Mother fucking Christian Javier is nails.

Because he’s not commanding the strike zone and he’s playing with borrowed money right now. No need for it. The bullpen is perfectly capable of shutting this shit down.  

[HOOKEM4 5198]

I was clenching but I have covid and I hate to admit I think a little got out. Whew.

[YChang 3571]

WHEW WHEW whew whew wheeeeee

[WBT 20997]

You want to wait around thin to hang one after putting 2 on base via walk? 
our bullpen is good. Trust it.

Huh, I was guessing France/Urquidy piggyback tomorrow

[YChang 3571]

I miss seeing more of this version of the Astros

no i'm not saying that, i'm just noting that they're only on base because he's letting them get there

[henrygandorf 29229]

hmm, the astros scored again.  y'all follow baseball, is it because:

a) twins are nervous

b) off-inning shadows

c) tuesday is generally an unlucky day

d) astros are cheating by using a pitching machine that mimics maeda's pitches

I guess he’s the low man on the SP pole.

ford speculating we’d see JP for length in this game if we get another run or two here

Command of strike zone is first and foremost as far as I’m concerned when protecting a lead. So yeah- I get what you are saying and it’s true, but the more pitches you throw the more susceptible you are to hanging one. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2117]

Now we need to get Tucker going.

so do we move the Astros to the third base dugout at Minute Maid?
