Odorizzi and Javier with the tandem start

I saw a quote from him a week or two ago along the lines of âI know I havenât given them anything to cheer aboutâ.
Pretty telling about the pressure heâs feeling. Glad he had this outing and got the W.

Kudos to Javier too. Dominant in relief.

Not an awful line by Jake. Not great but managed despite early runs. JavierâŚwow!
Mighty impressed with the good guysâ showing against some solid competition these past 2.5 weeks (the hated dojers, friars, sawx/Massholes and Canadian Stool Pigeons). Sure hope theyâre coming together and that this is a harbinger of good things for this 2021 Houston Astros baseball club.
Still a lot of beisbol to play, but this is good stuff right now.
It feels right like a different team, doesnât it?
Whoops, that was for Tuesdayâs game.
Will post todayâs when itâs up.
Amen and thank goodness.
The Grienke complete game, the Jake/Javier combo, guys raking have all combined to take pressure off the pen lately.
