    I wonder if Javier can ever become a starter again. He has all the tools.

    They talked earlier in the game about how he had surgery on both knees last season. He just isn't capable athletically to get to a ball like that.

    Great job by Javier. Only problem is we've got 8-9-1 due up.

    Man if Javier ever gets control of his stuff he could be one of the best pitchers in the game.

    They already did earlier and Altuve struck out.

    He was shaded to right also. Brantley would’ve not gotten there nor Diaz, maybe Chas, Meyers but those others uh uh

    Javier's face looks like he's drank heavily several weeks in a row

    He's getting outs though. Keep it up

    It will be interesting to see what we do next year. You have Lance, Garcia, Framber, Urquidy, Odorizzi, and Javier. Someone is the odd man out, and obviously it's going to be either Rizzi or Javier.

    I'd like to see Javier get the nod just because of his age and upside, but Rizzi's contact wasn't exactly cheap.

    I missed it. Why is Brantley not in left?

    Javier looking sharp, hopefully Altuve redeems himself after striking out w/ bases loaded & then bumbling a double play, I know he's itching to put the team back up.

    He should have been taking. No business even starting on that pitch.

    With the ALCS format being 2-3-2, losing game 1 or game 2 is a concern.


    Although, astros is a good road team.
