    Lidge, Giles, Osuna >>> Pressly > Hader any day of the week
    I'll take batshitnothing crazyMF closers over our "STUD" any game/day of the week. Come on. Who can say this is the best closer this "dynasty"/franchise has seen in the last 15-20yrs? Nobody? Then GO GET THE NUTS DRILLED CLOSER.

    I was stoked to see them bunt the runner over. remember how many times they would strand him at second in extras?

    Shoutout to Meyers for his AB after the bunt. Had my doubts.

    Hader was good yesterday. Let's give him credit.

    Congratulations, everybody! It looked bad there for a while. I was surprised! Perhaps we can be pretty good?

    Hader has been very good overall this season

    I predict this season and his next one will match his full season in SD.

    Seems like he struggles his first year after changing teams -- happened in SD and with Houston.

    Still a subpar contract though

    Sometimes I see stats referenced that make me wonder why did he post that stat or choose that number for a sample size. For instance, if someone says the Astros have only won twice in the last 5 games versus the Angels, my gut would say the Astros are likely 3 out of the last 6 and 2 out of the last 4 versus the Angels.

    I went to see Pressly's stats expecting to see a decent ERA or FIP as WHIP just seems like a random stat. Nope. Pressly's ERA is 4.50 and his FIP is 7.50.

    Thank you for not being misleading, and I'm sorry for my suspicious nature.

    Everything is very small sample size so far, Press has pitched a total of 6 innings. He's faced the Dodgers and Padres, who both look very good to start the season, and the D Backs, who had the best offense in MLB last year. I suspect he's not as bad as those numbers look.

    But yeah, he's getting spanked so far.

    Did he take your girlfriend or something? Have you actually ever met him?

    I know of 3 different instances where he was a dick to fans. My son at one game, my nephew at a game and my best friend's son at a game. He told Framber NOT to sign a ball for my son, Framber told Blanco to chill out and go sit down and then signed his ball.
    My sister and buddy told almost identical stories about him. But yea, be a smart ass.
