    That wasn’t a save situation

    He doesn’t throw a very good change. Why throw it in that situation?

    Long season last year…. WBC… then this season.

    It is going to be a lot tougher this year, and right now you can almost feel it… it still felt like a loss when Pressly went out there and it was 4-4

    I've thought all along that the pitching would come around, but I'm starting to get a little concerned. We have only one great starter(Framber) and the bullpen is completely unreliable.

    He shouldn’t be the closer long term.

    Because he was struggling to put him away… he had also thrown a change earlier in the at bat though.

    After tomorrow's game the schedule gets tough. This could get really ugly fast.

    I said Abreu before the year started. I see it changing this year to that.

    Never feel comfortable with Pressley there. He’s the the least intimidating closer.

    Abreu’s max EV this season is 106…that seems concerning.

    Might want to rethink the whole "using a closer in a non- save" idea. Evidence is mounting.

    I will just never understand putting the closer in to start an inning in a non-save situation. I don't have the stats, but I swear closers are so much worse than their career numbers when asked to come in in that role. Pressly is also always dogshit early in the season, you could see this one coming
