    It's a ****ing travesty he didn't get an opportunity to finish it. Espada can eat all the dicks ever.

    ****wad, I didn't even realize this bozo would even consider putting in Pressly. I figured Blanco was going out there or at worst Abreu who was warning up would come on. I tune back into the app to my horror to watch Pressly throwing a pitch that resulted in a base hit.

    Even you have enough sense to know Pressly should have been nowhere near that mound today. Well at least I pray you do.

    Why use a closer with a 4 run lead? Twice in 3 games.

    Off day tomorrow, I know but….

    We must be the best team in 4-run games...

    Espada save: "Putting in the closer whenever you feel like it"

    In all fairness, the Manfraud position player pitcher rule forced us to kill pretty much every arm yesterday.

    That was our 18th no hitter, breaking a 4 way tie for 4th and into a 3rd place tie all time.

    But we Espada'd it.

    Team is going nowhere. We aren't winning 81 games. Let us have these moments you moron.

    Of course..... it was a TIMING issue on your part -- just like last week when you repeated the same hindsight BS.

    You already know how foolish Espada can be, yet you *assumed* he would make a smart decision.

    Riiiiight

    Maybe Eapada was thinking that he needed to preserve Blanco for future starts. We need more wins.

    At the very ****ing least you let him start the inning and have Abreu warming up.

    What is with Espada using closers in non-closing situations for closers that have mental blocks for that...?

    If Hader's available it makes even less sense to send Pressly out for the 8th.

    Hader getting slugged a bit too much. Meyers saved him twice this season.

    Pena needs to take a better position for potential bounces off the wall at MMP -- that ball rolled far too long before someone fielded it.
