Nope. He's actively trying to lose. Luckily, he's so bad at losing that he's won over 2,100 games and is the manager of the defending World Series champion.
I know Maldy's in the lineup for Framber.... but at this point I'd rather see Jon Singleton called up
Unless he's dead (and there's still a 1% chance Dusty would still start him), I think we know he's catching 100% of the games Framber and JV pitch. Acquiring JV may also mean they resign Maldy next year.
32nd 3-pitch K this season for Framber -- 5th best in MLB. Framber threw his first cutter last battery since Oakland, two starts ago. 0 vs Rangers 5 vs OAK
I’m fine with Alvarez sitting, he’s played 9-10 games in a row, the dude is glass and scares me. Just be happy we’ve not heard anything about his HANDS! Not to mention they want both Altuve and Alvarez for all of the NYY and BAL series.
