You mean he can get worse if he throws more ? It didn't take him very many pitches to surrender a 2 run lead.
Let's not just look at the 9th inning as the culprit. It all started with Montero being anywhere near a high leverage situation. You put in Maton if you have to.
ever since Pujols destroyed brad lidge, astros haven't had a dominant closer. pressly is good but i wouldn't consider him dominant.
I hope Bryan Abreu doesn't land on the IL. Remember, he was checked on yesterday after a line drive hit him. From what the announcers have said, it sounds like he's unavailable today. Hopefully it's just day-to-day. He's our best reliever.
The Astros are going to need to handle their pitching staff differently next year. I don’t know how willing Crane will be going into the tax, but they will need more depth. While I haven’t generally been too critical of Baker with the pitching staff, I will tell you that Pressly hasn’t been happy how he has been handled this year by the manager.
