    Billy, this is a guy who’s got moxy, a personality, and could be one of the most dominant relief pitchers in all of baseball.

    His one flaw… he can only pitch in seasons where attendance at stadiums is limited due to an unprecedented worldwide pandemic.

    Here have likened Paredes to being our next untapped elite closer

    He gets any level of consistency around the strike zone and he's a total ****ing weapon.

    Same for Paredes.

    With a win tonight, the Astros would just need to go 15-15 to get to exactly 100 wins.

    In order for the Yankees to get the 1 seed in that scenario, they would need to go 22-8.

    The Yankees are 30-37 in their last 67 games.

    Just realized our best reliever, starter, and hitter are all shelved.

    Great win!

    love how we are winning games with the injury bug hitting us. Any win is a good win.

    Montero to Ohtani:

    Blum: "I wonder if he'll pull the string on a changeup here?"

    [Montero throws change for the swinging K]

    I love Blum.

    I've officially gotten off my Regression to the Mean theory for Montero. Whatever we did with him has been nothing short of miraculous (career 4.50+ era before this season). He's legit at this point.

    And credit to Dusty for making him the new closer until Pressly is back.
