    Too much nibbling after getting ahead in the count. Leads to a lot of high pitch counts. Seems like a Maldy thing.

    Javier just isn't missing bats right now, there's no real way to dance around that.

    They are fouling off balls that should be swings and misses when he's going well.

    I think at this point France is our 3rd best starter. Javy still has ace material but he needs to figure things out. His stuff just isn’t swing and miss atm

    Invisiball is now a foul ball

    PC increased

    Just let Javier rest two weeks. France could've rested after he returned.

    Great hustle Abreu!
    LOL that's because his IS slow, but he made the right call, that was a slow roller to LF, he would've still beat the throw had it not been cut off

    You can already feel that this series is going to be a sweep.

    Abreu has the ugliest swing I've ever seen

    I hope this isn't the part of the game we get 15 straight batters retired after scoring 3 runs.

    I see you working Abreu. "We can't chase this pitcher out of the game so early. I'm going to swing at this ball way outside to keep him in."

    Lady in the broadcast. "Cal Ripken still looks like he can put on the uniform and play."
    hehehe. She is getting a raise not a suspension.

    The guy that scored 1st wouldn’t have because he woulda been at 2nd instead of 3rd and Framber woulda just thrown to 1st to get the 3rd out, instead of throwing home and the 2 run homer wouldn’t have happened. Should’ve still been 2-0 instead of 5-0 at innings end.

    edit: actually I meant that Mateo wouldn’t have been on base at all, instead of at 3rd.
