    In regards to the Espada thread.

    What is he supposed to do here? Pressley needs to do his job.

    Not give up multiple hits, walk guys, and have issues locating pitches.

    Players got to execute. They are being in the right positions to succeed.

    Don't want to hurt Pressley's feelings because of his momma, but the dude needs to be pitching in low leverage innings.

    When a pitcher isn't doing his job, you fcking put someone else in who will.

    At what point do you continue to blow saves when there are other options?
    Eff Pressly's feelings. 7, now 8 blown saves is not going to cut it. He makes $14 million a year.

    I agree, but I don't think the rope has been too long. Pressley is one of the best clutch pitchers of all time.

    Thank God. He’s given up runs in each of his last 4 outings.

    just not the same pitcher. Sorry.

    This isn't sustainable. Especially if we get to the playoffs. He's a liablity now.

    Stressley in high leverage innings isn't working, Ort is better, Scott is better, we need to flip the script on him - his FB is 3mph slower, his Slider isn't consistent he looks old.

    No one is going to charge on a line drive there and risk losing the game. He should have picked it clean though.
