  2. Props to Framber for delivering with that lineup behind him.

    Also, Pedro Leon sure doesn’t like to get his jersey dirty: no sliding on Off or Def!

  7. Threw out the C level lineup.

    Didn’t matter because Framber threw an absolute gem on only 82 pitches through 7 innings and got some late run support with Diaz and Altuve going deep.

    Have to love getting a win when you basically didn’t even try.

  8. Seriously get flashbacks to early 2010s Astros watching the current White Sox. Glad I don’t have to live through that anymore

  12. Let’s hope we never see this lineup again! Hopefully Bregman is back and JV pitches Wednesday, let’s sweep them again!

  13. Josh Hader with yet another save extending the franchise record.

    Astros with another win and series victory. A lot of players took the day off today or didn’t play in a full role (Altuve was DH for example) So we should be well rested for the upcoming series against some contenders.

    Go stros. We still have the 4 game lead

  15. A win is a win, but we can’t afford to roll this lineup against actual MLB talent

  20. ![gif](giphy|OhLrbM4CqP8dr7DpIo)

    Decent series but we got Some important games coming up. Jobs not finished!

  21. You’re entitled to financial compensation if you watched every game from April to June

  24. Thank god pitching was up to the task today because that was the worst 4-9 lineup I have seen since w were losing 10 games a season. Need Bregman and Tucker back because we aren’t beating anyone worth a shit with three AA players and two AAAA players in the lineup.

  30. If Framber pitches like this in the playoffs we are going to be really hard to beat in a series

  32. I say this with love but León ain’t a MLB player.

    2/3 is 2/3 though. 4 game lead.

    I may need a word with Espada about this lineup though (sub is invited)

  35. Great way to steal a game with a less than ideal lineup. Superb pitching from Framber and Hader and clutch hits from Diaz and Altuve to secure a series win. Much needed with Seattle finding some life today.
