- Stros maintain division lead - Chas goes deep (first time since July '24) - Javier returns and pitches a decent game.
No you're right this is absolute ridiculous managing. At least he brought in Sousa. I thought for a second he was trying to throw the game.
Bro - Hader and Abreu cannot pitch every game. Hader cannot throw multiple innings or throw 30-40 pitch appearances without consequences.
He warmed up yesterday so that Friday appearance isn't the reason. Hopefully just sick and not an injury.
Who had Javier getting his first win of the season on his first game back from TJS against the Red Sox on their bingo card?
Yeah that's probably enough, but giving him a 4th day isn't crazy when he threw about half of what a starting pitcher might throw. However he's thrown 35 recently and then thrown 2 days later, so maybe there's more to it
Nice to get a win. Tomorrow will be another tough pen day, as I would be shocked if Spaghetti can go more than 5. We should have Abreu and Hader both ready, though.
