[Official ALDS] Astros vs. Athletics

If Javier can't do it with a 3 run lead for 3 innings, why would he be able to win with 9 innings tied backed up by James?

 

And take the chance that if Javier doesn't get it done, you have to pitch your bullpen tomorrow?

 

I think we can all agree Baker doesn’t have a lot of great choices this year

 

You were b****ing when Raley was in. Pipe the **** down and whine elsewhere.

 

Well you'd also have Parades tomorrow.

 

Javier was the best option to go multiple innings and hold that lead. We win and we have a bunch of days off. We lose and its a bullpen game.

 

Looks like Springer blew his wad in the first two games

 

At least make him work as much as possible

 

wow. You’re so dumb

 

Also, if Greinke can't go, I'd go with Garcia if the A's had taken down Javier.

 

Yep.

 

He did hold it in the only inning he should have pitched.

He's been off for a month. He's prone to meltdowns. Javier has already proven within this week that he can go multiple innings and close out this sort of game.

 

If he doesn't get it done today... you expect him to get it done tomorrow?

 

Dang. I stepped away for a while and forgot about the game. Tuned back in. And that was a fast swing in the game. Ugh

 

I would rather rely on a bullpen to hold a -3- run lead, and hold off Javier to start tomorrow just in case they can't hold it rather than throwing Javier out there with a chance that if he does blow it, we have literally no one to start tomorrow are conceding game 4. This way at least Javier gives us a solid chance at winning game 4.

 

BTW how much are paying Laz Diaz at first? LOL

 

So are we losing the series now?

 

Fuuu

 

Gave the friggin game away. Man..hate to give the A's an opening.

 

Announcers on TBS get to go home happy.
