    You mean he can get worse if he throws more ? It didn't take him very many pitches to surrender a 2 run lead.

    Needs to be demoted. Let Abreu try it for 11 games.

    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.

    Maybe if a few outs, but with 0 outs seems too early.
