    Dusty got cute with the bullpen... but still inexcusable for Taylor to walk the first batter.

    Scrubb seems like a guy who can stick as a 6th-8th inning guy. Gives me a Will Harris vibe.

    It took 5 outs, but Scrubb got out of it.

    My only concern is that he’s solely a two-pitch pitcher that the rest of the league may soon catch on to.

    Doesn’t mean he can’t still be effective but for now, he’s got nuance and unfamiliarity going for him big-time as well.

    Those legs though... (“a big ass al Pacino meme”)

    At least Reddick’s hit was productive.

    It was only Altuve at the plate....

    Pressly and save situations usually don't go well together

    Pressly should stick with the curveball... but not that one that just hung.

    They’re both bad.... but one was less bad because two runs scored as a direct result of his hit.

    Holy crap. Love Pressly, but I'm not sure if he's back to 100%.

    Cy Sneed is still much worse IMO.

    It's more surprising if we don't play extra innings now.
