When did Harris "run out of gas"? His ERA ended up being 1.86 that postseason. His velo was up and his spin was thru the roof (spydertack!).

The thing with Stanek is puzzling. As some of you pointed out, he puts a lot of batters on base, but he's really good at not letting them score. For the top relievers:
Pitcher -WHIP/ERA
Neris - 1.01/ 3.72
Monterro - 1.02/ 2.37
Abreu - 1.18/ 1.94
Stanek - 1.23/ 1.15
If you only look at walks per inning, he has by far the highest ratio.
Neris - 0.26
Monterro - 0.38
Abreu - 0.43
Stankek - 0.57
Last night I got the feeling that the Phillies have seen enough of Monterro. All of their hitters have a few ABs against him by now. Maybe we will be seeing more of Stanek tomorrow?
I think it probably has more to do with weapons. Montero, like Harris, relied on 1 main pitch and was seen a ton.
Not too dissimilar from before when we had Altuve, Bregman, Correa, Springer, Gurriel, Keuchel, McCullers, & Marwin.iamtheglove said:Farmer1906 said:
It's an off day. Let's talk Mr Jeremy and his long Pena. Would you consider giving him one of those Wander / Fernando / Julio type deals?
Tatis Jr - 340/14 - 24.3 AAV
Rodriguez - 209/12 - 17.4 AAV - heavy incentives
Franco - 182/11 - 16.5 AAV - some incentives
Pena is a little older than these guys so I don't think 12-14 years would make sense, but why not 9 or 10? Currently, he's under team control for 2022-2027, his age 24-29. This deal could keep him here until he's 34. He'd be a Jose Altuve type franchise player.
Right off the bat, his rookie year (regular season) is a step or two below this group. But the flash of excellence in the postseason gives you a reason to consider it because he could become that guy and then some. We're not buying the bottom, but we're buying the beginning of the incline.
Example of the contract I am thinking:
135/9 - 15 AAV - load it up with incentives for games played & firm league-adjusted numbers (not fan stuff gold gloves and All-Star appearances)
What do yall think? You Interested? Not? He'll want more money? Do it if he'll take less?
Interesting question. Right after Click signed Yordan for 6 years I posted that Framber and Tucker should be next. But now I think you have to add Peña and Javier to the list. So much team controlled talent. Would be great to lock up all 5 but not sure that level of commitment would ever happen
4 got extended, 4 didn't.

In the 6th inning of game 7? Don't know if he ran out of gas, but he sure waited until the worst possible time to have his worst outing. People still bang on Hinch for not bringing in Cole but I'm guessing if Harris got the Astros out of that inning with the lead intact that maybe we would have seen Cole the next inning - ??Quote:

Dude, what? It was a good pitch. Sometimes you get beat. Kendrick poked his bat out there and it hit the foul pole.

Something you throw your best pitch and it gets hit. Go back and see where it was. Right at the bottom corner of the zone.
Pitching is like hitting in that sometimes you can have great execution and poor results. He executed the pitch well. He just got beat.

If this team wins it all, that will be a picture in the clubhouse for years to come.Fake...the glove arm never touched the ground and his legs were spread eagle.
I stand corrected...his glove arm did come down first upon further review.

Amazing how blessings happen when you just keep your head down and grind. God is good!

I mean the Astros account posted it on their soc media. I'm thinking they probably made sure.

I mean the ball scharw hit out was probably exactly where verlander wanted it. It was 3 inches up out of the zone
Guy was just looking for it and got on top.
When I watched the replay I just shrugged and said well what more can you do
Yep. I said the same but was told nope, same old JV, choke job, get the pen up
Agreed. He did say it ran on him a little and go over the plate more than he wanted.

We have been assured they are the best fans in the league. I do not understand this.

This is why the word "dynasty" is being dropped. In this era of baseball, player identification and development is paramount. And the Astros excel at it.
Run out of gas comment was driven off the fact he gave up homers in Game 6 and Game 7.Farmer1906 said:When did Harris "run out of gas"? His ERA ended up being 1.86 that postseason.

It was likely driven more or as much by the fact that the Nats had seen him 3 times prior in the series.

who needs Jomboy
Listening to Blum on 790 and on several of his podcasts, he's made multiple references to not having a contract yet for next season. If he and TK are not back, there should be rioting in the streets. They need to lock both of them up before someone else recruits him away.

We are pitching Framber. I don't see this happening.
Framber gets.
And little man Framber wants blue.
Framber always gets
What he aims for
And the Phillies heart and soul
Is what he came for
Whatever Framber wants.
Framber gets.
Take off your powder blues
Don't you know the Phllies can't win
There's no exception to the rule
It's irresistible, you fool
Give in. Give in. The Phils will never win.
Give in. Give in. The Astros champs again!

that is awesome
People are freaking out about Peña being an arrogant showboat. Man, watching him all year and in interviews I'd say he's mild mannered confident guy. Do y'all hear people complaining about that? Maybe I'm being too sensitive since he's an Astro. Love the way he plays.
first i have heard this who are these people?agdaddy04 said:
