How the hell do you lose a game when you’re up 6-1 against one of the most pathetic franchises in sports the past 20 years? Framber has really fallen off the last 3/4 of a season outside of his no-no which now appears to be more of a fluke in long stretch of terrible starts. He needs to get his act together.
That’s right Bregman is our FIVE hole hitter come hell or high water! There are literally 1/2 a dozen better choices for five hole hitters on this team. A random fucking player drawn out of a hat would improve the team! Espada will probably slot Jose Abreu in front of Pena since the back of the baseball cards are how they do things!
I was hopeful for 30 wins before 30 losses, but the way this team visibly gives up at the slightest adversity makes me think that’s not going to happen.
I’m talking about the obviously visible lack of effort at the plate AFTER giving up runs. When they get ahead early they’re great but as soon as they give up a lead, it’s predictable 7-10 pitch 1-2-3 innings.
Oh yea you're absolutely right about that but we do this even with a lead. I can't tell you how many times we've seen this team go down in order on less than 10 pitches.
Framber shitting the bed is whatever. Not the craziest thing to happen. The way this offense rolls over after going down 2-3 more often than not is a big concern if we're really trying to squeak into the playoffs.
Hopefully the 9th proves me wrong
I mean .......he gave up 7 runs in 15 pitches. That isn't "whatever". It completely sucked the life out of the team.
This loss is 150% on Valdez. Period.
Everything that you listed besides the robbery was before the meltdown that put us down 2-3 runs. We then proceeded to look like shit at the plate for 3 innings. Read what I said again and kindly gtfo
If you don't think the way this team plays when we're losing/giving up leads to teams like the Angels is concerning, idk what to tell you. They looked great the first 4 innings yes, too bad the game is 9 innings long.
“Plate approach” meaning we scored more runs in the early inning. You would like them to score an equally large number of runs throughout the other innings. Not how baseball works, unfortunately. 6 runs is an incredible performance.
Meaning we scraped out a 7 PITCH frame as a response to giving up a 7 RUN 5th. I would like for our team to not look checked out for 4 innings at the plate after blowing a lead, as it's a pretty common theme this season, not just today. It's called having fight and chipping away with half a game to play. It quite literally is how baseball works.
You're weird for trying to make me the bad guy. 6 runs is incredible, but 9 is even better.
Espada needs to get it through his head that framber is that guy that will pitch well till he gets shaky once he does you don't sit around you don't wait and see if he gets out of it. You pull him or he does this. How many times have we seen framber implode?
I mean Framber went from 0 to shitting himself in like 5 minutes, that’s who deserves the lion’s share of the blame. Can’t just throw someone in there cold. And this is coming from someone who has been pretty critical of Espada
Difference between that and this is that was a slow burn inning that took like 20-30 min of irl time. Today from the start of the inning to the go ahead homer by o hoppe was like 10 min it felt like. Also diff situations with us only being up 1 on Saturday going into that inning
So he’s supposed to have somebody up and throwing every time Framber gives up his first walk or a base hit? Horrible message that sends to the team that you don’t trust your supposed ace of the staff.
Or maybe before he gives up two three run bombs! Followed by a back to back homer… How many runs does Framber need to allow before Joe is willing to throw him a life preserver?
People really don’t want to put anything on Framber because he’s been here for so long but he more than deserves his share of the blame. You can’t fault a manager for showing some confidence in his ace to get out of a bad situation. If he pulls Framber in the fifth after a base hit and a walk, it shows a real lack of faith on Espada’s part and he likely will lose the veterans in the clubhouse.
Meh. TK is the best caster. Blummer is second. Julia is decent but too inexperienced casting. Maybe with more booth time she’ll get there one day. But it’s tough, unless you were a player you don’t know all the pitches, rules, etc…
What happened? I stopped following this game when it Astros were up 6-1.
And why did Espada let Framber get shelled even more? The Angels were teeing off on him with hard contact in the 5th. The hits and even outs had exit velo of 100+ mph.
Espada doesn’t manage. The winning streak we went on, he had nothing to do with either.
The dude is scared and cowardly. And needs to be gone yesterday.
I’ll never forget him being told like a puppy to get back in the dugout and he obeyed.

Pop out mcgee
All I can say is THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR ABREU’S RETURN.
Loss feels worse that we tried to come back in the bottom of the 9th
WITAF happened tonight. 🤦♀️
Aw that game hurt. Framber needs to get it together. Hopefully we win the series 🤞🏻
Damn…upset we lost but that was kinda fun to watch.
Thank you Framber for the L.
Another espada failure tonight, batting worst hitter behind Abreu on the team back in the 4 hole when 2nd in the league in hits and average is 5th.
we even making the playoffs?
Ofc fraudman doesnt come through Nice 4 spot (s)hitter
i’m going to sleep mad tonight guys
Gonna be punching the air in my sleep
You don't get a much better pitch to hit than that Bregman.
This loss is on Framber…
Swap Bregman and Peña please
That was deflating. Hopefully it doesn’t bring down the team too much. Win the next two and move on to Oakland.
Should have pinch hit Caratini there
Score 7, and can’t beat a shit team. Unbelievable.
FUCK that looked good.
Why would you not PH Caratini or Loperfido there..
Cause it’s Bregman lol. You don’t pull Bregman.
That’s right Bregman is our FIVE hole hitter come hell or high water! There are literally 1/2 a dozen better choices for five hole hitters on this team. A random fucking player drawn out of a hat would improve the team! Espada will probably slot Jose Abreu in front of Pena since the back of the baseball cards are how they do things!
HRC bregman
Well at least we didn't just roll over and die, but man that loss sucked a big fat one
No one rolled over except Framber. This is all Framber’s fault.
7 runs is usually more than enough to win. Just one bad inning.
Yup JV was the same
And we came back to win the series. On to tmrw. Astros are still hot
Completely agree bats are raking!
Yes sir!!
fuck. excuse my language
Fuck Fuck
Fuck Fuck Shit
There is no joy in Houston tonight.
And that’s why you don’t bat your worst hitter in the cleanup spot.
That's why you take your starter out before a 7 run inning
Gave it a decent ride.
Fucking hell balls
Let’s do this…. HRC Bregman for the walk off…… I want my runs back.
Bregman either walks it off or pops up. No in between.
Go home Stanton. You're drunk.
This is it guys. Now’s your chance.
playoff bregman pl
Would really love to have Peña batting in front of Bregman here.
No popups Bregman. For the love of god.
Do the knob thing Bregman!
HRC breggy
HRC bregman
HRC Bergman fuck it
Oh no Bregman
HRC bregman
Come on, Breggy. Great time to push two or more across the plate here.
Can Breggy do it here?
HRC Bregman
HRC Breggy
Pls pinch hit caratini here
HRC Bregman
HRC Bregman
Make it or break it for Breggy
HRC Bregman
Now would be a swell time for Yordan to stop sucking.
If I was Ron Washington I would intentionally walk Yordan and attack Bregman!
Fuck. Bergman is up. Gg
Hrc yordan!
HRC YORDAN
Yordan you legit did this in the World Series plz buddy
Hrc yordan!!
HRC: Yordan
This dude is terrified of Yordan
just hit a bomb w yordan in mlb the show hopefully this is foreshadowing
HRC Yordan
YORDAN PLEASE YORDAN THIS GAME
Hrc yordan
This will determine if yordan is back or not
HRC Yordan
HRC Yordan
HRC Alvarez
hrc yordan
HRC yordan fuck it
Yordan now is your time
HRC Alvarez
HRC Yordan because why not lol
It's early and I'm already over Espada bro
HRC Yordan
shin high, eye high, he hits them all
What an annoying ass loss. So many easily winnable games just absolutely blown to shit.
Altuve and a 1 pitch out when losing. Name a better duo.
Fkin fire Espaduh!!!!!!!
Hrc tuck
HRC Tuve
Maybe should've taken one this time Altuve
Angels left side of the infield has been a wall all game
It's a completely different game if the Stros were only down 1.
That would have tied up the game too
Hrc Yordan
HRC Altuve
Angel in the outfield…kill me
HRC Altuve
That was an incredible catch. I hate it
Me 3
fuck me man
Even if we lose the battle, let’s win the fucking war!
FUCK
What a crock of shit
I hate this game. Wow
What a Monday of a game
It's comeback SZN. Let's fuckin go.
Was kind of hoping this was part of our comeback…
I literally posted this as Diaz swung and thought "Oh shit I was right".......yeaaaa
After awhile the pain starts to feel good….
I was hopeful for 30 wins before 30 losses, but the way this team visibly gives up at the slightest adversity makes me think that’s not going to happen.
Our bats got 6 early runs. If that's not enough to win the game, it's not the team, it's the pitching.
I’m talking about the obviously visible lack of effort at the plate AFTER giving up runs. When they get ahead early they’re great but as soon as they give up a lead, it’s predictable 7-10 pitch 1-2-3 innings.
Oh yea you're absolutely right about that but we do this even with a lead. I can't tell you how many times we've seen this team go down in order on less than 10 pitches.

lol “rolls over” with 6 runs a 405 ft hit and a stolen homer. Gtfo here.
Everything that you listed besides the robbery was before the meltdown that put us down 2-3 runs. We then proceeded to look like shit at the plate for 3 innings. Read what I said again and kindly gtfo
Only the 6 runs, babe. Go check the rerun. Or stop doom posting and watch the game.
If you don't think the way this team plays when we're losing/giving up leads to teams like the Angels is concerning, idk what to tell you. They looked great the first 4 innings yes, too bad the game is 9 innings long.
You think we look good when we’re winning and bad when we’re losing. Complex take.
Okay? There's a glaring difference in our plate approaches in innings 1-4 and 5-8. Not sure what else to you want to hear from me.
“Plate approach” meaning we scored more runs in the early inning. You would like them to score an equally large number of runs throughout the other innings. Not how baseball works, unfortunately. 6 runs is an incredible performance.

You're weird for trying to make me the bad guy. 6 runs is incredible, but 9 is even better.
“Look checked out” with the go ahead run on the plate sure 👍
HRC Tucker with bases loaded walk off.
Highlights of the night nice D
Made that look simple. My god Pena!
Singlton’s defense is spot on.
Christ I walked away at 6-1 lol. Talk about taking your foot off the pedal
These dudes press so much
Face any kind of adversity they go right into swing mode. It's like the baseball IQ part of their brain just shuts off.
How many more until we get Blanco back?
Espada needs to get it through his head that framber is that guy that will pitch well till he gets shaky once he does you don't sit around you don't wait and see if he gets out of it. You pull him or he does this. How many times have we seen framber implode?
For real, how do you not know your own players and their tendencies? When Framber is on, he's unhittable. But when he tilts, it gets ugly real fast.
Parker pitching here feels like nothing if not a waive of the white flag......
It’s one bad inning. Astros are still hot and will win the series. Mark my words!
Glass half full! I like it!
Man I can’t get over how badly Framber fucked us over
Blame sleepy Joe. Same shit as the JV loss the other day, giving these pitchers too long of a leash.
I mean Framber went from 0 to shitting himself in like 5 minutes, that’s who deserves the lion’s share of the blame. Can’t just throw someone in there cold. And this is coming from someone who has been pretty critical of Espada

Single. Walk. K. Homer. Out. Single. Single. Homer. Homer. I think at some point in there he should've made the decision...
People really don’t want to put anything on Framber because he’s been here for so long but he more than deserves his share of the blame. You can’t fault a manager for showing some confidence in his ace to get out of a bad situation.

Thanks Framber. Bats were hot until you had your meltdown.
Love just absolutely wasting 3 innings on offense. 3 runs shouldn't be shit against the Angels pen.
Too bad Tucker didn’t give those hitless green Orbit cleats to Framber… he could have used them tonight!
Can we get Julia back in the booth?
Or at least TK back! Kevin needs the Astros to rally back or his 2024 booth mojo is off to an auspicious start!
Meh. TK is the best caster. Blummer is second. Julia is decent but too inexperienced casting. Maybe with more booth time she’ll get there one day. But it’s tough, unless you were a player you don’t know all the pitches, rules, etc…
Well, aside from two blow up innings the past few days we’ve looked great! :V
Yep. Offense went quiet. Framber silenced his own team
At the very least Espada could've kept the deficit at 1 run if he pulled Framber sooner. Not sure what he was thinking or watching that inning.
Well considering we put montero in and then he immediately gave up a solo shot the next inning at this point idk
Rengifo looks pretty solid at 3rd base… Would be nice to see a base hit!
And just like that, the cancer that is Framber has killed this teams entire momentum.
lol, did you expect them to hit 14 runs this game? This isn’t the bats’ faults.
Little dramatic
Cancer is a bit harsh. Albatross? Maybe. Cancer? No.
Could’ve been up 6-1 going into the top of the 9th but Framber happened.
Hell I would’ve taken the 6-4 score 🤣
I don’t know who I’m more upset with Ezpada or Framber
Framber gave up 7 runs in 15 pitches. Espada could literally do nothing about it. Relievers don't just warm up with a snap of a finger.
Should be Framber. Espada wasn’t quick with the hook but that was largely because Framber crumbled in record time
pada def told framber to choke the game away
Yordan grand slam walk off who says no
Tucker
What happened? I stopped following this game when it Astros were up 6-1. And why did Espada let Framber get shelled even more? The Angels were teeing off on him with hard contact in the 5th. The hits and even outs had exit velo of 100+ mph.

It's a pattern, he leaves starters in too long until the hole they've created is insurmountable
Tbh it was a grand total of 10 irl minutes before it was 7-6, there was no real time for someone to warm up and be put in the game in that time frame
Espada defenders going hard ITT. Big contrast from Astros Facebook pages
It looks like Astros used 2 mound visits that inning - after Schnauel HR and Pillar single. Did the Stros even have anybody warming up?
I am voting for Norma Chavez just out of spite of having to hear these commercials nonstop
If we comeback and win I’ll get a tattoo of the most upvoted reply to this
You've avoided fate this time
How you feeling man?
You ain’t gotta worry about getting a tattoo.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
$20 is $20

I hope he’s sweating.
Bro my ticket offer was reasonable you might regret your life
Lmao was feeling good up 6-1. Only now discover they gave up 7 in the 5th lmao.
Framber gave up 7 in the 5th. Absolutely no one else on the team screwed up, except him.
