    Altuve-level baserunning, and a heads-up play by Tucker.

    Two LHBs now where Javier has used the change up effectively for outs.

    Pitch is halfway to the plate, Kalas says "there ya go"

    And he was right

    I don't understand how this guy gets away with throwing 88mph fastballs right down the middle and then mixing it up with 80mph changeups right down the middle.

    He's thrown more change ups this game than the entire season.

    Javier keeps playing with fire. Can't walk France on 4 pitches with Seaver coming up.

    Don’t want to jinx the kid but Javier might be the most successful pitcher to come up the system since Keuchel. Doesn’t have as good of stuff as McCullers but very close with a better pitching acumen and smooth delivery.

    RHP vs LHB, the changeup is your out pitch, and vice-versa

    Tucker is completely snakebit.

    How do we take the voodoo curse off of his luck?

    All three of his hits have been over 100mph. xBA on his two outs were .810 & .720. Ouch!
