    No, it becomes a mutual option with a buyout. I think it’s a $3M buyout.

    Here’s something I never thought I would say this season: “Not even Jake Meyers can save the day”…..

    I don't know why I continue to watch these guys, guess I'm a glutton for punishment.

    Or he’s in an age related/mileage decline as evidenced by his rising WHIP last year, hence they got Hader.

    And you look dumb AF every time you blame Bagwell for everything.

    I don’t think he’s pitching the 8th anymore.

    Pressly struck out the first batter twice and he still got the walk. So ready for robo ump.
    Them of course Pressly follows it up by throwing a meatball from the sandwich shop

    Pressly... we can't send you down so we're moving you to pitching only the 15th inning now.

    They need to sit Presley at this point. He is costing us game after game.

    Either his knee is acting up again, he doesn’t trust not spiking his curveball, or he’s just in a natural regression.

    whatever the reason, there’s not a lot of confidence on either side

    So we ride with Espada and Brown until they bring us back to 2011?

    Is that the plan?

    And yet Espada somehow keeps trotting him out there.

    Hmmmm....

    What's the point of Grae Kessinger if he isn't even pinch running for the old slow players...?

    Half+ of their lineup cannot take that 2nd base on a single. They slow.

    80% SB (10th in MLB, total steals is just about deadass league average) but that's mostly 3 guys, 10th most outs on the bases.

    Weirdly enough in the month of May, Astros went 7-3 in games he pitched, with 2 of those loses coming in games he gave up zero runs.

    This of course followed a 4-9 record to begin the season

    Dead on balls accurate is an industry term.
