But I like Framber at home.

He gets rattled easily and Yankee Stadium is tough. I'd rather Lance take the bump in NY.


Agreed. Not much rattles LMJ. But Framber is 10-2 this year with a 2.27.

He was a rookie in 2016 and wasn't in the postseason.

I see they announced Framber in game 2. I want ground ball pitchers in Yankee stadium.

Lance is one of the top ground ball pitchers in baseball.

Maybe the Astros don't expect it to go to 7 games. Or they trust Johnny Wholestaff.

Framber has more than earned the right for 2 starts in CS. No one is great on 3 days rest. If we go 7, the Astros have a huge advantage with our arms.

Game 7 against Yankees is like 18th inning against M's. We still got 2 more innings of Garcia, plus Urquiddy, plus Javier while they only had Robbie Ray left.

Going deep in a series against Astros is tough.

Also a good point

Framber on the road in that environment just scares the crap outta me. He unraveled a bit in the ALDS at home. He's a ticking time bomb in NY.

Don't get me wrong Framber is a stud but that GM 2 and him getting rattled shows me he hasn't quite overcome the pressure/mental aspect of being an ace.

He was also pretty boom or bust last year in the postseason. I like protecting him as much as possible.

He threw a gem in game 5 at Fenway last year.

He doesn't worry me, but in that ballpark a fly ball to right scares me. So guys like Garcia would worry me at Yankee stadium

Why would Garcia get a start in Yankee?

Rain in the forecast for Sun night in NYC ... I'll bet the Yanks are eager to have that game postponed allowing them to either pitch Cole on full rest in a possible game 7

Didn't say he'd start… but I'd be sure he will get multiple innings at some point

Little premature I think.

He only gets multiple innings if a starter throws a stinker or we get another long ass 18 inning game.

I think it's too easy to get lost in the forest when you start what-iffing the pitching.

We got here with JV and Framber, you go with JV and Framber and then see where you're at after that.

Some interesting considerations here... number of starts, infield vs outfield for defensive points, save opportunities, etc.

Suggestion: Strikeouts, leaving a runner at 3rd with less than 2 outs, and hit into double plays should be negative points for batters. Fielders and pitchers have consequences, but not batters... doesn't seem right.

I'll take Altuve, Alvarez, Verlander, Pressly.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Exactly. He is probably the 7th guy out of the bullpen after Pressly, Montero, Abreu, Neris, Stanek, & Brown. Maybe 8th depending on Seth.

Praying we get Cy Young Verlander tonight. We will find out pretty early if it is or not.

Not that I have any issue with Framber in game 2, but I disagree with this mindset. What you did doesn't matter. Play whoever gives you the best shot to win. Now obviously, you base a lot of who gives you the best shot to win on "what you did", but if JV lays an egg tonight and then looks mediocre in game 5 then I would 100% start our other 3 aces over him in the WS if that's an option.

Might not have to worry about the WS in that scenario...

You know what I enjoy is arod talking about cheating in the pre-game show.

Bro, you cheated, I would avoid the crap out of that subject.
