    If it keeps Altuve from catching the yips in the ALCS, I'd support it.

    I wonder if Javier will make a surprise start soon? He certainly hasn't been working like a reliever.

    I think I've changed my position on avoiding a prolonged STRIKE. Let her RIP. A POX on both your houses. There are NO GOOD GUYS to root for. They're all BAD GUYS. You can go to NFL, NBA and all those other irrelevant former associations.

    I think Javier has either

    a) been affected by last years workload
    b) been effected by the sticky stuff enforcement
    c) is being used sparingly to eat up more innings in the playoffs

    to me , his stuff this year was not quite as sharp... and the velocity isn’t there either. Bah, I can’t remember maybe Early in the year .

    same with Garcia . I think it’s intentional on his part tho . And framber too . I think /hope most of that is managing the regular season and they can turn it up (maybe not Garcia )

    I think if this has been all some masterstroke to have Javier as a starting weapon , then Garcia will come out of the pen after him .

    maybe odorizzi starts and Grienke follows him . That’d be weird and possibly effective.

    But Javier is a guy that I think if his stuff is there , he’s a very very good 2x through the order guy . Has to have the life on the FB tho

    I haven't even put texx or tj on ignore because at least they're moderately entertaining. This doofus I did a while back.

    If we believe in personal responsibility, anyone that spread the virus when there are options to avoid doing so should be prosecuted.

    WTF

    No hyperbole, that is the worst "attempt" at a tag I have ever seen from a catcher.

    Get low and protect home, nah F that. I'm gonna give ground and lunge.

    We may not get to the 2017 WS if NYY knows how to play 0 WAR defense…the Correa walk off where Altuve scored dead in the water is something I’ll never forget…just wow. Blame trashcans all you want but maybe invest in a catcher who can…catch

    I'll take Maldy over Sanchez every chance I get. (Same with Ausmus over any of those hut first catchers)
