    Numerous losses throughout the season with weaker line ups than necessary because Dusty assumed the playoffs before we even got a lead.

    Get a lead and THEN play those games.

    Anything with Karl Malone in it doesn't equal good vibes.
    Unless he's going to prison

    Why wouldn’t Framber be available? It’s 3 days rest. Sometimes he’s better when his velo is down. I think I’d rather start him than a home else in the org in that situation.

    After what happened to LMJ going on three days rest against the White Sox I'd be very surprised if this team did this with Framber or any other SP.

    One of these pitchers is made of glass
    The other is made of Kevlar.

    I understand but they're still not going to throw Framber on three days rest. Would be very surprised if they did this.

    I think they will pitch Framber on 3 days rest if it's a must win game.

    1) its Been fairly common even in the recent past.

    2) Framber has shown no signs of any kind of injury risks.

    3) These opportunities don't grow on trees regardless of what the last 8 years say.

    4) $$$ millions are on the line.

    5) The team has no multi $$$ million commitment to Framber.

    6) Framber on 3 days rest is likely better than any other option, except maybe JV, on full rest.

    Yes it's been common (to go with guys on three days rest) but the results have also been horrible if I'm not mistaken. I guess if it gets to that point we'll see what they do

    Agree about the results.

    The other options are Javier, Brown, or Urquidy.

    Let's hope they win the 1st 2.

    I don't see any of those 3 going more than 3 innings in that kind of a game. Especially not more than 3 quality innings.

    Might as well give Framber 50 pitches like a bullpen game especially if JV can keep the bullpen in good shape.

    That’s a tough one..:confused:

    Win another Championship at the cost of giving Karl Malone a ring..

    I think the Rockets fan part of me would still rather see Karl Malone never winning a championship in than giving Houston another championship

    I'd be fairly pissed if the Astros hired NBA All-Pro Karl Malone to coach their baseball team.........

    Because he’s a basketball guy or because he’s a child rapist?
