    If these pitchers aren't going to give us a chance, it's not going to end well. =(

    What happened to these guys.

    Javier’s fastball has turned in to a Josh Fieldesque pitch. That’s not good.

    Apparently these pitchers all had career years last year. That, and Maldonado ain’t worth **** anymore as a defensive catcher. Why does this ****er continue to play?

    Javier's fastball is quite visible these days.

    We can b**** about Dusty's lineups all day but this team is toast if the starters are going to be this terrible.

    Javier needs a trip to sugar land not the bullpen. I trust Bielak over him. Every start he puts us behind and only goes 4 innings.

    Remember this… good times!
    “The Houston Astros have inked righty Cristian Javier to a five-year contract, the team announced Friday. It is worth $64 million and includes a $2 million signing bonus, reports the Houston Chronicle. The five-year deal buys out Javier's three arbitration years and two free agent years.Feb 10, 2023”

    Bielak could’ve done this while Javier rested.

    Now it’s a wasted game and still no rest

    another team doing damage with 2 outs.

    let's see what the astro can do with 2 outs.

    most likely a strike looking.

    Guess what they (and JV) have in common? Coincidence, maybe not but I’m just ****ing tired of hearing tpitchers requesting for Maldy to catch.

    So Maldy is supposed to be a calming force for the pitching staff..?

    Looks like a terrible signing. Throw in Jose Abreu and what great signings.

    Let me guess. He’s already tired and winded after one inning?

    Out of shape. No commitment to fitness.
