Framber Valdez putting Astros coaches on blast feels like his parting shot

It has always been awkward when everyone knows that a Houston Astros player is going to leave after a season, and both the team and player just pretend like it isn't a thing. In the case of Framber Valdez, the elephant in the room, going back to last offseason, has been that the Astros know they aren't going to give him a competitive offer, and Valdez knows he will be wearing a different uniform next season. On Monday, some of that divide appears to have spilled out into the public eye.

The Astros lost another game where the offense didn't show up, and that can be extremely frustrating for a pitcher who threw the ball well, like Valdez did.
