PETITION TO CALL BAEZ JAVI FOR SHORT

 

1. it seems to be what he uses

 

2. it's distinctive and cool

 

3. we can do that thing where we judge people for doing it wrong if it catches on

 

 

Just as long as you pronounce it like this in your head.

What the [expletive] was that? I'll never get that out of my head.

The Second Age

[Guest]

Is it okay to go full hipster and start calling him Eddie, or do we have to wait until he's been in the big leagues for a while first?

[Guest]

Some will call it the Century of Blood, others, the Age of Heroes, yet others, the Long Winter. Children in St Louis will be born, live, and die all in darkness.

I thought we only did that ironically to someone who sucked.

The Second Age

 

Let's not even acknowledge anything before.

[Brian]

sorry to throw a wrench in the JAVI plan, but his twitter handle is @javy23baez

 

so he either didn't write that Javi, had a computer nerd set up his twitter, or he's so above it all he doesn't even care what his own name is.

[Smack]

Still 7+ hours until game time. Wtf

HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HIS OWN NAME. A SIGN THAT HE ISN'T GETTING CALLED UP SOON.

[DiamondMind]

Just to throw this out there...

 

Jorge Soler hit .406 with a .500 on-base percentage in 24 July games for Double-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa.

 

Soler this season has hit .360 with 16 doubles, one triple, 10 home runs and 37 RBI in 42 games at Rookie League Mesa, Tennessee and Iowa.

 

He is averaging one extra-base hit every 4.6 at-bats and has produced a .744 slugging percentage to go along with a .457 on-base percentage. He has 23 walks that have contributed to his 1.201 OPS.

[Guest]

6 hours to go.

Shouldn't the Rockies SP be "Not Javi."

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Shouldn't the Rockies SP be "Not Javi."

 

For the rest of this game thread, all references to other players should simply be Not Javi

 

That's mostly how he thinks of them anyway.

He doesn't even know his own name, so how will he remember his teammates? #clubhousecancer

[Friendly Confines]

Is Not Javi going to be back for the Rockies today? I know he was a little banged up over the weekend - should be interesting to see if he's in the lineup

[Aaron_Kennelly]

So we are starting Not Javy and 8 Not Javis?

[Guest]

it's really a shame not javi is injured again. he's so good and the rockies really need him.
