Javier throwing a crapload of pitches. Wild or getting squeezed?

So?

really though, going to a full count and pretty much ensuring he's gotta throw a fastball to avoid walking a guy is the biggest problem

Mostly wild. Squeezed 2/3 times.

Yup. Already walked him twice. I don't blame him for making him hit it.

By the way, does it seem like LeMahieu has been the toughest out for Astros pitchers when facing the Yankees?

Assuming Javier is done for the day, how do we guide this thing home? No Pressly.

Montero, Nerris and Stanek get 3 of the 4 innings assuming we stay in the lead. Who else?

When he's right, he scares me more than any hitter in their lineup

Seth Martinez for a few innings, one leverage guy. Save more bullets for game 2.

99 pitches thru 5. Only gave up 1 run and 2 hits, but I think he's done.

I say it's time to hand it off to Abreu.

That's what I'm wondering. Do we save bullets for G2 or fire them all to try and claim this one?

I'm cool with that. If it's Good Abreu, maybe he can give us two.

Sounds like Maton. I'd prefer Abreu or Seth over him for the 6th.

That's a coin flip. Either goes 1-2-3 for a couple innings or gives up 4 in 1/3

21/28 games have been without an earned run. Several of those are multi-inning. Only 3x has he given up more than 1 run.

Just always assume my initial thoughts are not founded in any statistical basis. Abreu just gives off a certain "feel," but I do like him

You're beating the only team in front of you in the standings and the game is half over. Have to go all in on this one. No idea what the next game will bring.

Oh I knew you were being facetious. I still wanted to share the stats on him.

feels like we have a handful of guys that, statistically, are very good...and yet none of us are truly confident when they take the mound. I guess the bad meltdowns just linger, forever

He looked pretty filthy that inning. We need that guy for the 2nd half.

I mentioned it back when we were in Anaheim, but if you haven't...go look at his home/road splits

That's just the nature of bullpen arms.

For Abreu, I think its a combo of being less than reliable the last few years, the walks, and the blow-up vs LAA right before the break.

Besides walks, what is not to like about these #s?
