    The myth of not mentioning a no hitter in the broadcast booth is BUSTED. Smoltz must have said it like 30x.

    Javier is currently Randy Johnson Jr

    A very highly effective, very highly effective starter with only two pitches

    Their two pitches are same name-wise, fastball and slider

    Coincidence?

    Big Unit vs insert Javier nickname

    Astros WS record since 2017
    Game 1 0-4
    Game 2 3-1
    Game 3 2-2
    Game 4 2-2
    Game 5 3-0
    Game 6 0-3
    Game 7 1-1

    If we win Game 5 I like our chances of reversing the curse of Game 6 with Framber on the mound.

    Actually it was Joe Davis who constantly mentioned it. Smoltz even mentioned after Game it was first time he himself said anything. He’s apparently very stitious.

    I agree with everything you said.

    I think he'll tell Junior give me your best 2-3 IP and we will take it from there. Probably will calm him down and to help him pitch effectively knowing he's not having to go 6 or 7 innings.

    This is even more ****ing awesome that the Astros employees got to come see their team play in the WS and witness a no-hitter on top of that...

    Kinda cool Vazquez got to catch the no hitter.

    He'll never forget this.

    I'll say one thing, if LMJ denies tipping his pitches then there is no way that you can start him. Phillies would feast on him again in the 1st inning. If he found something in the video that indicated that he was tipping and corrected it, then I'll be more okay with him starting a game 7. Him starting game 7 thinking he didn't do anything wrong other than not pitch well is a recipe for disaster

    What is he hitting? I think the announcers said .340 for the postseason.
