A case could be made that Javy is doing as well as he is because he’s finally happy with where he’s playing. If he’s forced to move to third base, he might become unhappy, and as all of us know now, an unhappy Javy is an unproductive Javy.
Man, Brieske left a lot of picthes right in hitters’ happy zones, and gave up some loud outs, but technically, he got the job done, and I expect he’ll get another leverage situation in the next week or so.
You almost gotta wonder whether injecting Parker into that outfield would **** things up out there? Not saying I believe that for sure—just, you almost gotta wonder.
Honestly, credit that fourth run to Joey Cora. Waving Joey, who sent so many runners to their deaths last year, seems to be succeeding this year beyond our wildest dreams.
Just got back from our customary Friday night dinner out with my wife, and I just saw the Javy Baez double play from centerfield. The most impressive part to me was how he recognized how far off first base the runner was and he just basically took his time to make sure that his throw was dead balls accurate. The guy is just such a baller.
