    Javier has thrown 8 of 10 first pitch FB, and 24 of 45 are FB overall.

    It was a great catch insofar as he didn't drop it

    When he’s on, that percentage is closer to 70.

    His location/command, as mentioned, much better.

    I agree… just anticipating he will need some help 2nd or 3rd time through once they start adjusting.

    Yordan's been getting a bunch of contact off the end of the bat recently.

    What y'all think of Diaz sitting, with a projected full season of 40 HRs and 102 RBIs?

    Not bad, huh?

    Nope.

    Only time he was higher than 60 was his 1st year. 59.4, 59.9, 58.4 since

    It's all about the location.

    Dusty Baker showing why he was Fired after early Postseason Elimination.

    It will happen again, I don't think some players are playing hard. Some Pitchers are Overweight and Slow.

    Javier’s spin looks back up right now. Can anyone confirm via tracker. Best I’ve seen since pre ASB.

    Well they weren't quiet outs, but outs nonetheless.

    Velocity ticked up a bit in that inning.

    Talking about his best games… WS last year, No hitter against Yankees last year.

    Still 92-93 that last inning… curious to know the spin rate.

    Spin rate is up. Contact albeit hard is a hair up on the bat. Only threatening ball was Lemaiheu to right in which he flattened out his barrel at the top of the zone.

    King likely nearing the end of his rope, but he's got the dominant Dubon/Maldy tandem due up next inning.

    Was outside for a minute and the radio said that Tucker is the first player to have b2b 25hr-25sb seasons since Trout a decade ago.

    I would have guessed somebody else had done that.
