    That 3 game series in Toronto hopefully will loom large. We would hold the tiebreaker with just 1 win in that series (we swept them earlier), but taking 2 of 3 might just put us with a chance to get a bye.

    One can dream.

    Certainly looked like 2022 Christian Javier.

    Do we all of a sudden have 4 dependable starters in the rotation? Can Arrighetti be the 5th?

    Spaghetti and Javier rounding into form could change everything

    Yep, had the ol' invisball going on again, 93-94 just working its way up the ladder from about 55' in, sweet to see that again.

    Six HITLESS shutout innings.

    He left still pitching a NO HITTER.

    He looked amazing.

    I love watching him on the base paths and in the field - but I would rather have a dog fart in my face than see his name in the starting line up.

    Diaz is a momentum killer with his BS batting approach. He's so undependable.

    Correa had a nice post game interview.
    When asked why he is so good in those situations here, "Approach is key." I was hoping Diaz was listening. Diaz has the swing but he has to change his approach. Then when asked what Yordan brings back to the lineup: " I like to call it the Fear Factor. Pitchers careful not to make a mistake."

    We had a 13 year old 120lb American Bulldog named Otis (tow truck driver name) that I promise would may make you rethink that. He literally drove 15 adults out of a living room during a New Years Eve party. To this day the second foulest smell right behind a newborns full #2 that I've come across.....

    that sounds like an injury waiting to happen.

    Javier returning to form would be a game changer. The lineup and rotation top 3 would both easily have enough to win another WS.

    It's just a matter of getting it clicking at the right time.

    Correa is the ultimate MLB player gamesman. He's so cerebal, tactical and just ****ing calm between the lines, hoping he retires an Astro and we get him in the booth for us if not nationally.

    For 15 year old across America, yes.

    Diaz is a deeply frustrating player

    The pen is still very worrisome. We really need to get Hader back for the playoffs.
