Trading Framber for anything less than what San Diego wanted for Cease would've been dumb, and that wasn't happening anyway.

Right, so losing him for nothing in free agency is better than getting a few warm bodies at the deadline.

I'm glad Chas got a day off yesterday


It's fun joking about Chas as a reliever, and his 6.0 ERA is better than Lance and Spencer, he's still given up 3 hits, 2 walks, and 2 HBPs in 3 innings.

I lost count. Are we up to 30 consecutive scoreless innings?

2-1 Phillies after 2 innings. Kyle Schwarber has 105 freaking RBIs already this year.

Probably a better line than most of our relievers have over the last 6 games or so.

It's time for Joe to get a pulse, get off his ass and get thrown out of the game.

For what? Yelling at his own players?

That might be more than the Astros entire team

Do a better job holding the run and there's the inning ending DP.

We might be in first place with a zero run differential after this game. Impressive.


That's only because this division is the worst in baseball, and it's not even particularly close. I'm so done with this excuse (not speaking to you directly). We'd be in dead ass last in the ALE, maybe 3rd but probably 4th in the ALC. The only reason it might be any sort of accomplishment to win our division this year is because we have a full squad on the DL at one point.

Remember when Victor was clutch?

Dude has always been below average in every way. His random clutchness was mostly pure luck. Ready to move on from him.

So it will still be nothing in return after he rejects a QO? We couldn't afford to trade him at the deadline for anything less than a king's ransom.

Folks coming on here and playing Hindsight General Manager especially during this slump is silly.

No doubt. Framber is going to need to wear this for a while despite 5 hits, 3 walks, and a WP in 2 innings. If his ERA balloons to 4 so be it.

So do we have to go through another few weeks of people pointing out how our season hitting stats are fine or can we go ahead and fire the hitting coaches and move on? No reason for our pitching coaches to be so good and let them down by hanging on to hitting coaches responsible for a team that is this bad.

Those people are morons who likely want to spend big money on Framber when we could have completely replenished the farm by trading him.

There were plenty of us who were advocating for at least listening to offers before the deadline. It is only hindsight making that look like it would have been a good idea.

This is flat out embarassing..High school teams move runners over and get them in at a better rate than this..

They should all be embarrassed but there's no reason to think they are.

Trade Framber at the deadline crowd looking real smart

very, very smart


You're telling me you saw this coming?

I called for the trading of Framber, not because I envisioned him sucking, but because I didn't see a team capable of doing damage in the playoffs. The deadline acquisitions were nice, but they haven't done anything to plug the holes in our lineup. Maybe if we get healthier by September with our playoff hopes intact, we can surge late and Framber can play a role. But both of those are looking like bigger and bigger question marks.

Same here

probably won't be my last post lol, but I'm definitely losing interest fast. I guess we just pray Yordan can turn the season upside down

There is no way Espada can keep his job after today. Team doesn't play for him at all.

They need to take a trip to see the Wizard. Right now they don't have any heart, brains, or courage.

Altuve's shaved .24 off his .826 OPS in 10 days with the current 4 for 29 stretch.
