Javier getting ahead in counts but unable to put the bottom of the order away. He’s looking better than last start, but still not back.
Athletics taking a 4-2 lead on Boston, but bases loaded for Boston.
Maybe the Astros do want to play October baseball.
Altuve and Walker need to be broken up in the lineup with how often they’re striking out. At least DeGrom’s pitch count is up so far.
You cut out the context of the quote which was the importance of Javier’s start tonight. With regards to the bye, the Astros have a tougher...
People should go look at Framber’s 2020 or 2022 post season stats to remind themselves of how important he is to the teams chances this year.
Any success in the postseason will heavily depend on him, so it’s kind of all the same. Honestly Javier tonight is bigger. Getting into the...
It wasn’t pretty, but it was effective enough for Gordon. Crazy that he’s got a good chance to wind up with the fourth most innings pitched for...
With Walker I’ll take not striking out.
I think Espada has not handled the bullpen great this year, but in an opener situation like this there was a pre-existing plan for how long...
The Astros have had plenty of pitching injuries in other years and spotty bullpen performance during both Hinch and Dusty’s tenures and neither...
Putting space between the Rangers and Guardians is more important than worrying about the Mariners I’d say.
Espada’s done some objectively poor tactical things like repeatedly losing the DH and in my opinion the biggest issue has been overworking bullpen...

Don’t they typically have to wait for the swelling to go down to have the MRI be useful? I don’t think he’s coming back this season. Maybe a...
If there is a ray of light, it’s that Zach Cole might be about as close as you can get to Yordan in terms of hitting the ball really really hard.
Error and a Crawford Box special. 99mph off the bat and 350 feet. xBA of .160.
The only hope is that his shoe is also slipping on his foot, so it looks worse than it really was.
Not a big fan of Espada’s in game decisions and bullpen management, but I have to imagine a call on lining up starters is not just Espada.
These aren’t even well hit balls.
