Not only is it too early in the series to call anything, it’s also too early in this game. Framber sucked hard but this is baseball. Anything can happen.
Dusty's decision to move McCullers start up for no reason just hurts big time. It was a dumb decision going into that game since it would not let us have him for game 1 of ALCS. He acted like we were on the brink of elimination that game...
People stressing this early? This team ate 2 horrible games against the redsox and never panicked. I doubt this does much to them.
Cant rely on these pitchers man, one day they look like hall of famers and then other days they look like little leaguers. The Astros just have to make it extremely hard on them selves
Framber's "one of greatest starts in franchise history" is currently an anomaly for his playoff resume Stros are about to allow another virgin (see Nats) to emaculate them Great job "cheating" in '17 though
Another stellar outing by a starter.... 2 innings pitched and 5 runs on the board. Bats gotta find something against Charlie. Who has been nails against us. See if the bullpen can stop the bleeding.
If Urquidy ***** the bed again tomorrow Dusty’s decision of him over Garcia really should be questioned. Problem is we don’t have an ace. Or anything close. Even McCullers isn’t a real ace.
It's not hard to see why pitching at home can be a nightmare. If things start off bad, then it can just spiral because it's in your head that you have all these fans on hand totally counting on you, putting pressure on you to perform, and you're letting them down. The road experience is different. It wouldn't surprise me to see Framber bounce back on the road.
It amazes me how people suddenly act like they've never watched baseball before. It happens every series, every postseason.
The Narritive is even worse with us making it and losing in 2019 and potentially this year too. The new story is that the Astros were good enough to make the WS, but needed sign stealing to get over the top (even tho everyone we played against was doing it too).
