    Javiers heater is down this year. He has thrown harder when he has needed it, but I think its certainly something to keep an eye on.

    Astro game 22. Julks has played well in 15 of those games. He can’t need rest.

    At what point do we start asking Maldy to lay down bunts if we have a runner on first with no outs.

    Given Dusty publicly mentioned Valdez’s velocity was too high and hampered movement, I wouldn’t be surprised if Javier’s lower velocity is intentional. Also given the number of innings they will need him for. As you say, he can still dial it when he wants - he’s just cruising a bit.

    They've made him throw some pitches though. 50 so far.

    You absolutely run on a 3-2 count when you have a batter that strikes out the least in MLB...it's just that Atlanta knew that too.

    Javier has 7 strikeouts in 3 innings. Would have been 8 if ump didn't give Acuna a different zone.
