    to be fair that doesn’t seem insignificant and he has yet to consistently hit well

    How is Urquidy's elbow sore already? Dude has thrown like 5 pitches this year so far.

    Same old Framber. Team gives you a 3 run lead and he gives it all back in the 2nd. He’s done for today.

    Another reason to sign Snell. Although he's inconsistent as well so we won't know which Snell we'll get. Cy Young Snell or OK Snell.

    Asking for $33 million per season for 2 years. Don’t think that’s happening with the Astros.

    Then again, this team needs pitching help.

    Framber won the game that clinched a WS for us.

    Nothing better encapsulates how spoiled fans are around here that he takes the heat he does.

    Right now, OK Snell is leaps better than Framber

    If I were GM, Drew Strotman would make the opening day roster.

    Dominated/won both his starts that series.

    That's only happened a limited amount of times throughout this golden era, with all the playoff series they've been in...

    2017 - JV ALCS
    2019 - Cole ALDS
    2020 - closest was Framber ALCS (he lost the first game giving up 1 ER)
    2021 - LMJ ALDS
    2022 - Framber WS

    Framber might have the Keuchel falloff

    Framber obviously has the stuff. It’s all just mental for him. Need to see him show more poise when things get a little tough. I would hope Verlander could give him some advice and if he already has then it is what it is I guess

    If I were a betting man, I would bet Framber having a better year than Snell.

    This spring feels pretty lackluster. Other than Loperfido, no “good” surprises or story lines have really emerged

    Meyers raking is a pretty big story line considering he could play 140+ games if he does. Dubon hitting even better than last season is pretty big considering he backsup almost everyone except for Abreu and Diaz. Abreu raking is pretty big considering last season.

    I never pay attention to spring stats.

    but I did just notice that Framber has been pretty bad with a 7.71 era.

    I will stop paying attention now.
