    Use the words “Pressly” and “ ain’t” in a sentence……

    Why is Pressley still in the 8th inning role?

    How many games is Pressly going to blow for us? It’s like he stopped caring because he knows for sure this is his last season with us.

    Presley shouldn’t be pitching as a set up man.

    Radio said it was a good pitch -- but when you walk the leadoff batter... s*** happens.

    Stros are dead-ass middle in MLB in doubles and also in SB (16th and 15th), XBT% (extra-base-taken %) is dead last.

    Pressly has officially given up more runs than a D rated taco joint

    Is there anything more predictable than a tie game getting untied when Ryan Pressly enters the game?

    The speed at which he unties the game is breathtaking.

    Don't worry. This perfectly plays into the Astros mini comeback in the 9th and a Bregman pop fly.

    Astros about to be 8-19 in games decided by 2 or fewer runs.

    Espada at his absolute finest in these situations.

    Eye test says this accurate NO DOUBT.

    Nothing has been easy this year -- nothing positive at least.

    Rather see Scott or Seth or Montero in the 8th over Presley. Isn’t he guaranteed to come back after 50 appearances?

    Surprised to see the doubles figure. XBT% checks out though. This team is ass at base running.

    the amount of times astros came up short with the bases loaded is just game killer. too many lost opportunities.

    Not excusing Presslys blown saves and poor performances but the front office did a majorly poor job at finessing him off the closer role and replacing him with Hader. I can imagine Bagwell saying “it’s alright, this is baseball, he’ll get over it”. Press 100% knew that signing meant their was no way Astros were going to keep him around after this season so he’s not going to be focused at being his best. His pride and ego definitely took a big hit.

    First week of the season I said this is not a .500 team and should look at trading players when they had the chance. Now McCormick has lost his lusted, Breman couldn't fetch a bag of doritos and Pressly is dead in the water.
