I legit thought this was a snide comment on Kalas’ announcing abilities being in “mid-season form” for an exhibition game.

not that he literally had it

hope he’s better and back soon.

I’m sure he’d love to just call the game from his living room if they’d let him.

3rd row right in middle. Awesome if his cutout "catches" a home run ball

Quote

Framber Valdez is slated to start the Astros' fifth game of the season.

Jose Urquidy's absence cleared a spot in the rotation and Valdez has claimed it. The left-hander has shown flashes during his chances at the major league level but has overall really struggled to throw strikes. Still, Valdez can miss enough bats to be interesting.

 

so framber starts in g1 vs dodgers likely vs buehler, though he might not be completely stretched out.  g2 will be kershaw vs jv.

 

 

Edited July 22, 2020 by henrygandorf
last line is me, not the roto quote. why does this website do that?

[Scraps 13569]

Framber was looking decent in Spring Training.....4 months ago smh.

Not really who I wanted to run out there to dickslap LA with first, but whatever.

Yeah, some friends did it for their daughter and they are supposed to get the ball.

Doesn't matter now, you're too late.  The 2017 thread was started 5 days before the first pitch.

So @Ldogg53 and I were tossing out the idea of tailgating before the Dodgers game next Wednesday in one of the empty lots. Once @tx 3 putt finishes signing his refi docs I’ll talk him into it as well. Any takers? @Mez2?

[Jshep34 2319]

Lilshep will be on el grande before game tomorrow. Have to get a video of him saying lets go Astros.
