    Yet another loss in extras.

    7-15

    Looks like my 8-19 firing of Espada is going to happen.

    All the lefties are getting pitched in the sweet spot, low and in. Didn't get a fastball until the damage already been done.

    Please at least score the runner on 2nd. Who pitches 10th?

    But did you look at the back of his baseball card?

    Some of the frustration around here is definitely misplaced. At some point, guys need to ****ing perform like they should be doing.

    I am not even talking about Pressly blowing the save. I am talking about the make up of this 26 man roster and hiring a 1st year manager that is clearly over his head.

    As far as Pressly, Tayler Scott hasn't pitched in a game in 6 days. He's fresh and has been really good so far this season. Why even have the guy on your roster if you can go a week without pitching him when the bullpen has been a mess all season and he's one of the guys that is actually performing well.

    I have never seen such a high profile acquisition of a player go so wrong.

    To the extent we have screwed up Pressly for good. Now we have to wait out the end of his high priced contract.

    Can't blame Espada tonight. He actually did well.

    Oh yeah y'all ready for more of that small ball Espada promised in the off season? What a joke.
