    Seriously. I feel like he pitched with a ton of intensity in Seattle and once he got here he dialed it back and lost that edge to him. Not sure why

    Does Pressly pitch the 9th?

    You’re clearly a casual. It’s always these type of folks that come around in the playoffs and come along

    Not certain. Astros probably need Graveman to get things together for a long playoff run. This was the ideal time to get him a taste of his first playoffs.

    Sure it didn't go exactly as planned, but they survived.

    He's also had success especially when the trade first occurred. Managers have to show guys you have confidence in them or else why even put him on the playoff roster?

    You would think he would be amped to go to a more relevant team. Maybe he just doesn't like the spot light and pressure of playing for a club who's goal is WS title or bust?

    Let these bullpen Sox players pitch. Tire them out. No need to be aggressive.

    Not sure anyone could feel great with the setup role moving forward.

    Graveman is shaky. Certainly can't trust anyone else at this point.

    2017 we didn't have a closer, and still won it.

    I agree it's something to keep an eye on however.

    Tomorrow’s game. Not easy. Sox starter is legit.

    Astros had 3 hits on him last game.
