Javier did not throw his bullpen today. Forearm discomfort. Sigh.
Boo.
His velocity has been way down recently. Hate to hear that.
Annnnnd … back to the IL. See you next year (maybe)
Never fear, the Astros loaded up on pitching this offse… oh wait, fuck.

Alex Speas called up for corresponding move
Speas is a great story. Apparently throws gas.
per McTaggart:
Some updates from Espada:
- Luis Garcia is set to throw a live bullpen session Friday.
- Urquidy and Javier are “getting opinions from other doctors.”
Fuck every word of this.

As if the other doctor is going to say “your arm doesn’t hurt”.
More like, “I don’t think you need TJ.”
“Yeah, you’re fucked.”

Has there ever been a time that a 2nd opinion did not confirm the worst case scenario?
Really glad Crane/Brown felt like we have plenty of starting pitching to compete this year.

What is the pitcher equivalent of “walk it off”?
