They can’t keep running him out there.

It’s pretty close. Kessinger homered on July 4h, Peña on July 5th.

Walk to Casas.

Woof.

Where oh where [is Cristjan Javier] tonight?

TK: Don’t encourage Javier to keep playing with fire.

The same place he has been since June: missing.

What choice do they have? Bielak or Blanco?

Fuck.

That was close.

He’s now working on 13 consecutive innings allowing a hit.

How many giving up a walk?

Yuck.

Either. You can’t keep conceding games and wearing out the bullpen just because.

Fucking hell. Ball 3 was scraping the outside edge.

Ball 4 was not even remotely close.

I’ll take what I saw in limited starts from Ronel Blanco over what Javier has been the last two months.

Javier is putting two guys on every inning.

I think the same. His last 1-2-3 inning was the first on August 15th.

Glad we had a tall leftfielder.

Yordan made that look uneventful. It was not.

And maybe he gets the rest he needs to come back strong and be an effective multi-inning bullpen guy or opener by the time the postseason gets here.

Thank you, Yordan.

Memo to Dusty: Cristian isn’t right and be ready to pull him before it’s too late.

Dusty needs to worry about making the Postseason in the first place. That will be a challenge
