Let's see if the Dbacks bullpen can repeat last night's epic performance by blowing a multi run lead in the top of the 9th vs Texas. This is only the second ever appearance by this Dbacks reliever. Stay tuned.
Nah, he’s definitely lost himself money with the way he has pitched down the stretch in addition to his attitude. This isn’t a one off incident - that Angels game was a joke as well and Joe essentially had to separate him and Yainer for an extended period because Framber is a loser. That’s aside from the comments he’s made after games, the melt downs, etc. There’s only a handful of teams willing to give out a huge contract to a pitcher and we can assume the Yankees and Dodgers were already out to begin with due to the money they’ve got tied up in their staff. I don’t think teams are going to line up to give him a Max Fried type contract. They won’t have to worry about bidding against the two deepest pockets. If he has another terrible postseason on top of all the makeup issues, it’s going to really hurt his cause.
I am starting to get “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark” energy. Before I just assumed we sucked.. now I am concerned we have a toxic club house which maybe contributing to our struggles.
My question is, when has this happened in history that the pitcher immediately turns and walks away after similar contact ??... probably none, unless intentional. It's like the prank where you tap someone's shoulder on one side, then move to the other side. The pitch hitting Salazar was the tap.
I don’t trust our team. We’ve seen enough of the disappearing acts to know we are in trouble. The offense is currently a Disaster Area. I guess the pitching better save this team or else.This team is wallowing along in mediocrity.
Knee jerk unhinged crazy fan reaction after catching up on the game very late. I’d love to know how Crane’s feeling. With the word being he’s gonna clean house on the medical staff, if I were him I’d start right now and Framber would be absolutely done. Good riddance my man. Next it would be Espada who’s doing us absolutely no favors. It’s sucks part of me is like just end the season already so I don’t have to watch these guys get swept in round one again. No fight, no fire, no pulse. Uninspired treading water but more likely drowning. Most of us have assumed or mentioned it but there’s something broken here and I’m not sure why someone won’t step in and fix it. Honestly first place has meant absolutely nothing for awhile now and it’s hilarious that door has been wide open and the Mariners haven’t walked through it. I know the Rangers sure will. Again, knee jerk reaction but if I were Crane - I’d step in and shake things up or blow it up and start collecting prospects.
They'll ride it out. You never know who is going to get hot in the playoffs and we certainly have the roster to compete. I do think Espada is gone unless he makes it to the ALCS. If I was the owner, I'd ask Correa what he sees in the clubhouse and if he gave the word, Espada would be gone right now.
