Did any of you see the graphic that FOX showed that compared the path of Javier's fastball vs his slider?? Both pitches come off his hand in the same place. For HALF the distance to the plate, they look exactly the SAME. But, they end up in VERY different places... The fastball, high and inside.... the slider, LOW and away.

My God... the batter has almost no chance. They just have to GUESS, ahead of time, and hope for the best.

This guy, Javier, has it going.... LEAVE HIM IN DUSTY!!!!

Never mind Dusty pulled a NO HIT pitcher after 6 innings. I truly HATE the way baseball is played today. I’m going to bed. Don’t give a rat’s ass whether Houston wins or not.

They said Javier was at 97 pitches. If he'd pitched the entire game, he might have had to go to 140.

Nolan Ryan once three 235 times in one game...13 innings. 19 K's for a 4-3 win.

Cy Young must laugh at the game today.

It's all analytics. Computer geeks who couldn't find 3rd base are managing pitching.
