re: DAT 10/23: Rangers (Scherzer) vs Astros (Javier) | 703CT

Very interested in how the Rags see Javi tonight. He's been incredible in the post, but this is the first time that a team has gotten a second look at him in a series. How up will the fastball play against them having seen it just 5 days ago? Feels like he's going to have to land a lot of breaking balls early in counts to get them off of it. Semien looked like he's coming out of it and Seager feels like a ticking time bomb, if they can just keep the Rangers in the yard that would be huge.


Not going to just doom for the Astros, Scherzer has the same questions. He does have that extra gear of dawg in him but he knows his stuff isn't where it needs to be so there's a chance he over throws and tries too hard to make something happen. Just gotta continue the process and keep getting traffic on to give yourself the chance for a big hit. I'd be foolish to expect them to all of the sudden come out of the funk of hitting with RISP in that building but just keep giving yourself the opportunity.
