HPU hosed him in this battle with Rizzo.  This will be his last inning now. 

Yep. 

[perfectchaos007 6593]

16 pitch walk…..that’s rough 

[HoustonFrog 368]

Kind of at-bat that kills you

[wood 11103]

Ump totally fucked him. That was a K.

Especially when it was an 11 pitch K. 

[Guadaloopy 10903]

Nice comeback to get Stanton.  Framber is an ace.

Ace adjacent at the least. Depends upon how many aces you think there are I guess. He’s definitely a top 30 guy in MLB. Maybe top 20. Don’t think I could go top 15, but maybe?  

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Tough as nails. Great night after a horrible first.

Bad Framber. 

Dumbass. 

[Wulaw Horn 18963]

That wasn’t even close to not being a strike dickhead. Sit down and shut up. It was one ball in on both sides. 

[Guadaloopy 10903]

And there’s the QS for Framber.  

[rvm96 1643]

Idk why Kalas keeps saying this could be Framber's fnal inning. This is definitely his last inning.

One of these posters is unlike the other

Welp, gonna retire for the night on that one. Y’all take us home. 

[TonyTexas 10478]

Even if you’re not a quality start believer, ahem Wulaw, this is impressive 

 

[Scraps 13531]

More runs plz

[UTexasFight 9369]

2 hits allowed. That’s pretty fair 

[WBT 20397]

The Yuli!  Let's get this insurance run in.

[UTexasFight 9369]

Our top 5 are 9 for 14 tonight but the bottom 4 are 0 for 9 10

Let’s fix that

 

Yuli’s ability to hit doubles is amazing. His batting avg is negative right now and he’s still 4th in the AL in doubles 

 

[cabowabo 4449]

Glad Siri will be headed down shortly.

[WBT 20397]

Siri probably should have bunted and I think Machete should still bunt even with 1 out.

[wood 11103]

JFC. 3 run lead. Bunt the ball. 

[rvm96 1643]

This umpire...

[mrhorn 1376]

For fucks sake this ump has a hardon for inside pitches

That style of baseball is not going to happen with the Astros so asking for it is futile.

[WBT 20397]

ump really screwed us there.  Altuve should have been up bases loaded and 1 out.

[elfenix 34168]

Robbed of a walk and then GIDP what the fuck

I'm not watching. Did he hang out at the plate and admire that popup?

I’m not opposed to the quality start at all. In the aggregate the average QC has a 1.88 era or something like that. It’s a great stat as a short hand to see how often your guy is keeping you in the game at a minimum, and at the best giving you a winning outing. I’m not ever turning up my nose at 6/3. It’s doing your job. It’s just not quite grabbing the game by the throat, that’s all. 
I love Framber.

And yet even with analytics everyone bunted their pitchers with runners on.  Machete hits like a pitcher.

2 or 3. 

[David Dennison 18608]

JFC

[kevwun 15595]

Infield defense has been sloppy this year.

[Guadaloopy 10903]

Clean it up, Bregs.  

[cabowabo 4449]

Holy shit.

[David Dennison 18608]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!

[Scraps 13531]

Haha tucker tasting Yankees tears

[WBT 20397]

Ted!!  He's not hurt is he?

[Guadaloopy 10903]

Tuck!  Holy crap.  

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Wowzers! Fucking huge play.

[Guadaloopy 10903]

Please be OK.

According to this he only has 1...and Yordan has 3.  Siri only made his ML debut last year but I guess he had already been on the 40-man a couple of years.

King fuckin Tuck

[TonyTexas 10478]

[rvm96 1643]

Let's go Ted. Hopefully he just had the wind knocked out of him by the wall

[wood 11103]

Is that wall concrete or what? Holy shit.

[elfenix 34168]

TUCKER!
