    Bright side... run #3 doesn't affect Javier's ERA.

    Stros will score more. Not worried

    Bobby Witt gets more triples than anyone I have seen since maybe Willie McGee or Willie Wilson.

    Also - Fukk you Bregman. If you aren’t going to hit, you can at least make the plays defensively… especially when your pitcher is trying to get out the inning.

    How many years do yall think Bregman is going to get? Eventually his slow starts will start to stretch further and further into the season and then all of a sudden you wake up and he's Jose Abreu.

    That ball was smoked off the wall in a huge ballpark… marisnick/springer/willie mays wouldn’t have come close either.

    I know the bats thought their day was done after getting 3 runs - but they better wake up.

    Sabermetric people can tell me I am wrong but Alvarez is a better big leaguer than Tucker or Bregman.

    Javier only at 79 pitches but seemed gassed. He was gassed last time out but had 90+ pitches.

    At some point he needs to not be laboring in the fifth inning of shutouts.

    Alejandro misses on the foul pop up, extends the inning then sails one over Abreu.
    I hate this sport.

    Was stupid to run Javier out there in the 6th. He was gassed last inning

    Javier needs to buckle down and get through the bottom of the order. This is his last inning.

    Everyone of our hitters would have tried to pull that slider.
