I think we have to stop referring to it as Bad Framber and just call it Normal Framber. He’s sucked for a solid year and a half.

I was gonna wait awhile to start drinking, as I’ve got shrimp and crabs on the menu for later. But I’m gonna start now.
This is pretty bullshit, really. He’s had some great outings. But when he’s bad, he’s absolute steamed dogshit.

Cabbage down on strikes.
Altuve with a bloop single on a pitch that bounces in the LF batters box.
Bregman with a knock, his second.
He’s 4.34 since July 1 last year. This is who he is.

He’s gone from being the potential ace of this staff, to a back end of the rotation starter. He’s a 3-4 guy.

I hope that ump is pleased with himself.
HPU Ben May is fucking atrocious.

HPU just changed the entire inning by calling ball 4 a strike 3” high
Framber is not thr guy you want pitching to an ump with a mystery zone.

Diaz grounds out
Middle of two…Astros 3, Jays 3, HPU 3
** League Year-By-Year Pitching–Averages
He’s essentially around a league average pitcher, numbers-wise.
| Year | Tms | ERA |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 30 | 4.02 |
| 2023 | 30 | 4.33 |
| 2022 | 30 | 3.96 |
| 2021 | 30 | 4.26 |
Which makes him all the more disappointing after the 21 and 22 campaigns. “Sucked” may have been too harsh but I’m also pretty pissed off with him at the moment.
He is what he is…which is a middle of the rotation starter, who can ocassionally pitch really well, ocassionally suck donkey balls. He’s not by any definition an “ace”.
Believe me, I hate 2024 Framber as much as anyone.
But he hasn’t been complete trash. Incredibly disappointing, but still around league average.
