Altuve!! Welcome back
Altuve looking to get one back with a triple
Tuve!!!!!
Hey Siri, make an error for me
What a difference between first pitch swinging Altuve and first pitch swinging Dubon
RBI groundout for Pena
Hall of Fame - give it to him.
Peña changed his stance a bit, not as much waggle now..he smoked that ball too
Good response so far. Keep it going.

It wouldn't matter if Diaz had called that pitch, Javi just didn't execute it to the back foot.
Exactly my point. There is no justification for why Maldy should be playing if execution is the issue.
Just got out of seeing Oppenheimer …. Guess that wasn't the only bomb in the last 20 mins. Wtf has happened to Javier
Getting one back and making him throw 15 isn't terrible… Javi has to be better.
I hate Yordan not batting in the first.
And they get through the first inning without facing Yordan.
need Javier to put up some zeros over the next hour
Bregs and Tucker squared him up. We have a chance to get back in this one if Javi can keep them at 3.
4 quality ABs there, too bad only 1 run to show for it
The excuses need to stop. Altuve and Alvarez are back. Yes we're still missing 1-2 pitchers but it is insane how much this team has regressed since last year. Absolutely inexcusable.
Siri - their 8th hitter in the lineup - has 20 HRs.
At what point do Murphy/Miller start catching heat for the starting staff's performance?
I'd hope that if Dusty is gone after this season, Cintron/Snitker and Murphy/Miller are all out the door with him.

I don't think there's a ton of excuses being made, we're all just tired of Dusty's idiocy
We really need Tucker and Alvarez both in the top 4 of the lineup. Pena needs to be 5th or later
Altuve, Tucker, Bregman and Alvarez as your top 4
Altuve, Tucker, Bregman and Alvarez as your top 4
Man WTF is going on in here right now?
That's the Siri I remember.

1-2 or 3 of 5…I mean, most teams can lose 60% of their starting rotation and just blow it off. (80% if you include FA losses from last year)

Crane got rid of a WS-winning GM so hopefully the urge to constantly clean house stays strong.
Great inning by Javi
Hell of a bounce back from CJ
5 Ks out of 6 outs
One time through Tampa Bay's order, Cristian Javier has generated 13 swings against his fastball. Nine have been whiffs. The velocity has been a tick up. He has five strikeouts.

Javier is only the plunking of Arozarena and one mistake pitch away from what honestly would've been a really strong start with all these Ks. Time to keep hitting.
Great answer Javi
Oh Javi
You can see the good Javi peeking through, he's gonna give up home runs with his style of pitching, but the key is pulling a Verlander and making those only solo shots
As the resident positivity guy, I am extremely encouraged by Javier’s start so far.

His fastball velo is up 0.8 mph, and 9/13 FF whiffs + 4 FF called strikes (52% FF CSW%) will absolutely play.
