javy mentioned earlier that he had to make adjustments

do any of you watching notice any changes in his mechanics?

None of your business assbag

He’s 55, and the only sport he played as a child was cricket. You try watching baseball with someone who thinks foul balls shouldn’t be allowed, and says the offense sucks after each inning, regardless of how many runs scored. Freaking immigrants.

Very impressed with Javy today

After 5 mediocre to shitty starts, he came out on fire today. The HBP screwed him over, but the offense has had several chances to give him the W. Bad breaks all around.
