I’m 1000% certain he keeps trotting out Javier and Hunter thinking they will work out their problems (with Maldys help). His gut feeling is ignoring their arms are tired and he’s running them into the ground, especially trying to squeeze very single out of them he can every start. He’s destroyed pitchers careers squeezing everything he can out of them on his past teams.
Spencer Arrighetti Dominating and Not getting a September Callup is Terrible. Astros Javier, Brown, France needs Rest and Need Help in Starting.

Maldy handles pitchers, people. Scoring is overrated. Abreu is a veteran who’s never won a damn thing. He’s due!
My point is any team that can stack a lineup with LHBs like Baltimore he’s essentially useless and we would be crazy to send him out there. He’s still getting RHBs out holding them to under .190 BAA coming into today.
He is clearly out of shape. His face has gotten chubbier and you can see him breathing heavy in the 2nd inning. Dusty will trash Chas for gaining a few pounds which has helped his hitting but Javier is his guy so he won’t say ****.
Management continues to ignore months of evidence and keeps playing them like nothing happened. Diaz and Chas are also ignored. This is outright sabotage.
Average velocity more than a mph down on the fastball… and his command even worse. If spin is down and command bad, he’s a shell of himself.
