I'm a Pressly apologist but you have to be aggressive throwing strikes to the first two guys. If they hit HRs, at least we can bring someone else in and so be it. SMH at Pressly.
He had no footing…. Slipped on the first pitch… wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up on the IL again with a knee issue. Velocity still isn’t there.
Of all the top 10 save leaders in AL this year, Pressley is the only pitcher has more IP than K. That means his stuff isn't scary.
Back to Back walks....then 3 straight hits. 3 runs scored.... and would be no outs if it wasn't for Machete....get his ass out of there!!!
That would have been ballgame had we not won that call. A reliever who doesn't walk guys! My Kingdom for a reliever who doesn't walk!
Stanek should close, Montero 8th inning. I don't care about contracts or recent past, but the best pitchers in the biggest pressure spots. And I'd also like to see Martinez get some looks in high-leverage innings. Why not? He ets guys out, and the stuff looks legit.
