Astros at Orioles, 8/9/23

And a 2-out walk.

I’d better not tell you.

Javier has no command at all.

End of three 3-0 Astros

70+ pitches to get thru 3.

I miss the Ace version of Cristian Javier. This isn’t him.

O’ Hearn was pissed he didn’t tie the game on that pitch in a left-handed hitter’s happy zone.

He is in desperate need a couple of 10 pitch innings.

Peña lines into some bad luck. Rats.

Is it more beneficial for Javier to work through this in actual starts, or would it better to skip a start and go with a five-man rotation while he spends a lot of bullpen sessions working with the pitching coaches?

Bad luck there.

Peña hit that sharply.

Dubon with a single up the middle.

That one had to have Peña shaking his head.

Yeah, can’t do much more than that. It’s a cruel game sometimes.

Dubon should be trying to take a bag with Maldy up.

Once again I’m thankful Maldy only made one out

Another non-gidp from Maldy.

Definitely need to send Dubon here

Non-productive productive out.

That strike three to Altuve may be the best pitch Flaherty has thrown all night.
