Wake up Dusty

dusty wants Javier to get his ninth win. The team winning is irrelevant at this point to Dusty.

He checked back in. Helluva way to get yourself out of a jam!

Let's go get some more runs, please!

Now it's tough.

Do you try and get one more inning out of him?

Sure but he needs to be done after the very first BB.

Finally home, watching and caught up on the thread. Played with fire that inning, but credit to Javi.


Now, I'd probably take him out.

Yainer Diaz at first base, Martín Maldonado final out of the inning, emergency catcher Grae Kessinger in "health and safety protocols," so college catcher Troy Snitker is warming up Cristian Javier before the fourth

I didn't know Kessinger was the emergency catcher.

I was wondering who that might be...Take Kessinger out of the picture, and say Maldy starts and it's bottom of 7 and bases juiced and we are down by two...opponent has a righty on the mound, so Dusty does the smart thing, like always and pinch hits Diaz who promptly hits one in the right-centerfield gap and tries to go for three but pulls up limp and gets tagged out. Who catches the 8th and 9th? My guess would have been Breggy...he just seems to be a ballplayer, right? Maybe Chaz? Dubon?

Bregman walks again

The amount of non competitive pitches from these 2 starters this far is truly amazing

This question reminds me of the time the Oilers had both Warren Moon and Cody Carlson nursing injuries and a reporter asked Jack Pardee (NFL Dusty) what they would do if they both got hurt in a game and his answer was, "Put Ernest Givins at QB and run the option." I have never rooted so hard for injuries to my own team in my whole life.

Radio guys said they will get every out they can out of him tonight since the BP is taxed. Food for thought, their starter tomorrow, Houk, is coming off the injured list and is limited to 75 pitches...all the more reason to tag Paxton for a few more here in the 4th and get their bullpen in the game ASAP

I remember that!

whoops, Tucker forgot the count

walks

need a big swing from Chas

Chas does not see Paxton well. Doesn't look comfortable.

Chaz so sexy

Chaz!

Boom!

Chazzy Fizz!

Hells yeah

Chas

Meatloaf !

Rain, bring me some rain!
