    Click and Crane need to move heaven and earth to get better starting pitching.

    4 2/3 innings…12 hits….10 runs…3 walks and God knows how many homers allowed. Your WS stats from Framber Valdez.

    Framber completely wilted in the big moment. Most of our players have.

    McCullers is an ace.

    If McCullers pitched this series, we're still down 3-1.

    Agree, he's not a loser (Boston) but this WS has been too big for him. It is what it is.

    Did they ever replay that Bregman play? If that was Kiki, Buck would still be climaxing.

    If McCullers is pitching, Game 1 likely looks very different.

    Even then, the problem was not finding the zone, not throwing meatballs down the plate.

    Framber from August onward had a sub 3 ERA btw.

    Do our bats respond again or go dead again?

    For sure. He still hasn't adjust without spider tack.

    The problem with Framber is he lives on the lower portion of the zone with the hook. The umps took that away and the batters aren't chasing it. He has a hard time hitting the corners and instead leaves it over the plate.
