25 years minus 1 day old, plus 5 games plus 10 runs = 35 Runs scored by the Astros in the 2017 WS = 35 Gematria!
I hope Framber wins a Cy Young award during his career with the Astros. One of the most unhittable pitchers in MLB.
Remember a couple years ago when Framber was wild and inconsistent and wildly inconsistent? And how he was a weak spot in the rotation? Yeah...
Woke up early to see another great win! Am I the only one a bit depressed that we aren’t 7-0? Imagine the headlines…. Oh well, before it started I said I would be thrilled with 5-4 - can’t complain now (much).
The Astros entire development plan for pitchers is to find guys with one great pitch, and hope they work out. IE: Framber's Curveball, Garcia's Cutter, and Javier's Fastball. Doesn't always work, but when it does it sets a pretty high floor considering that all these guys have an elite wipe-out pitch.
The level of respect he gets from the pitchers to the coaching staff is amazing. Whenever his name is mentioned around Astros officials it turns into a five minute gush fest about how smart Maldonado is and how he runs the show. Not bad for a guy that’s an f-bomb every other word that comes from his mouth. I wonder sometimes if he will replace Baker as manager or go into the Astros front office.
