Thank you for the hard-hitting analysis.

Wasn’t an analysis just a statement. Sorry I’m not the smartest poster in the room like you.

Who should have pulled him out of the game before now?

[Macklemore 2876]

Manage the game you stupid fuck. Framber doesn’t have it and you let him give up another run.

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Aggressive hitting pays off way more than staring down strikes like the Astros are doing.

Look- if we wanted to we could just go ahead and Throw everyone but Abreu and Nerris an inning. We have an off day. Let all the guys get in some work. 
what the hell right?  Who cares?  
got 9 guys in the bullpen. Don’t use those 2 that pitched last night- let’s get everyone an inning. 

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Get the fuck outta here. 

[cabowabo 4484]

Helluva job Framber.

Not at all.  But you can't manage every game like game 7.  You don't bring in leverage arms down 3 or 4 in the 3rd inning of game 2.  One thing Smoltz preaches which he is correct about is that the more you show your bullpen in a 7 game series, the less effective it is later in the series.

[Scraps 13561]

Take machete out while you are at it

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Astros are playing like the horns last week. Score then let them score and erase what you just did. Fun times. 

[YChang 3443]

Way to show up Framber

[HtownHorn 14677]

Framber was breathing out of the wrong eyelid again.

Don't you understand what that would do to the pitching??

The great thing about this post is that it works for any situation. 

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Montero? Lmao. Dusty wants to go home he isn’t trying to win.

That's literally what JP France is there for to come in and provide some innings to keep the high leverage arms off the field and yet still keep the game in better striking distance than Framber did.

[UTexasFight 9431]

Lol Altuve never touched him anyway

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Texas has talented hitters who are seeing the ball well. If they win the series, I guess good for them. But we're still totally in this thing. Let's start proving it.

Yea we might want to start proving and not wait till it’s 9-1 in the 6th inning.

[TexArcher 37774]

Just get a couple back.  Put a little pressure on them.

[tx 3 putt 76905]

Not sure framber’s road splits, but I wanted to see urquidy today. I knew it would never happen

I mean, maybe?  Are you completely sure that France doesn't give up a solo shot that inning?  It wasn't crazy for Dusty to give Framber - a proven post-season performer - a chance to right the ship and get you 5 innings.  You don't just dump your ace after two innings in which he wasn't really hit that hard.

[Chuckie Finster 22694]

We are in "pull the goalie" territory.  Diaz absolutely needs to come in for Maldy here, but we all know he won't.

[UTexasFight 9431]

Damn.

Wish our manager would sub guys that are out there specifically for 1 particular reason/player 

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Another hard hit! Astros win! 14 hard hits to 6 hard hits! Yeahhhhh

That's our Maldy!

Offense should be the only priority right now.

[Guadaloopy 10960]

We do need to put a shitload more pitches on Eovaldi.  Terrible approaches so far.

[TexArcher 37774]

Good try, Maldy.  Get an orange slice and a hundred K.

[cabowabo 4484]

So we're down by 4 in the 3rd and Framber is out. We need offense. Why leave Fatass in at catcher?
