He's the Zach Grienke of closers... No velocity and relying on you swinging at junk
I agree with the sentiment as Pres clearly didn't have his stuff. However, after seeing that Dusty still gave him 2 (or 3?) more batters. And yes Stanek had the walk as well. He has to attack and throw strikes and make DJ beat you with the guy on 1st. That didn't happen so we we have Judge and runners on 1st and 2nd and he immediately gets to 3-0. At that point Dusty elects to pitch to him rather than putting him on. Not just a hindsight 20-20 thing here that is just a stupid decision all around.Beat40 said:RED AG 98 said:
Dusty really Dusty'd up the 9th. Awful.
I'm not Dusty's biggest fan, but that's on Pressly not executing any pitches.
Stanek had a walk in there too.
I'm not surprised. Yankees pitchers are getting the borderline calls. See Yordan's AB in the top of the 9th.
Ok, maybe Dusty should have pulled him after the 2nd walk. Pressly still sucked from the moment he stepped on the bump.The Beef01 said:redline248 said:Rare instances of disagreement, from me. We were Presslyed.Wabs said:
We've been Dustied. Again.
Presley was allowed to walk the 1st 2 hitters, give up a game tying homer and left in to give up another hit….
…then left in to allow another hit (surpassing the total hits allowed by the pitching staff over 8 innings in his 0.0 IP).
His last hit that he surrendered…that was the losing run and he never should've been around to give it up.
100% Dusty
Joint "f-ck you" for them
Ugh and to lose like these to the yankees
The media and the mlb will absolutely cream their pants

This team needs a closer and a legit CF if they want to make a run and win it all.

Oh, no doubt.
Pressly is getting paid $14M this year. 0 chance he is moved from the closer role unless he's injured.

Click won't do it... I'm calling it now
Season has a long way to go, but this game has a momentum change feel to it. Need the bats to stay hot and move Pressly into the 8th inning role ASAP. Find a real closer and do closer by committee until that happens.

I'm sorry, no manager is pulling their closer after giving up two walks up three.

Stop it. Our season will not go to hell because of this game.
We may 0-fer NYC
I didn't say "go to hell". Every season has momentum swings. My point was we need to keep hitting and get momentum back. But I do firmly believe RP is not a closer. Hell of an 8th inning man for sure.
Maybe. We may win the next 3. We may split.75AG said:

Losing up 3 sucks a ton.
But what is the momentum swing other than sucking?Phrasing said:

Are you saying Pressly giving up 3 tonight will cause our offense to stop hitting or the bullpen from pitching well?
I'm just struggling to understand what you mean.
No, I'm just saying the Yankees have the momentum now. Not hard to see that after a deflating loss. Need to bounce back and regain momentum. If you thought I meant our season was doomed after today then I'm sorry, didn't mean for it to come across that way. But it's obvious Yankees are going to be riding a high after tonight.
Congratulations, Yankees, on your June 23rd championship.
Life is better with a beagle
Verlander on the bump tomorrow. Get that one and everyone in here will be happy again.
Cole vs Javier on Saturday will be tough. Nestor vs Urquidy on Sunday will be the biggest challenge of the series

They fail to realize its all relative
If Pressly isnt a closer, who the F is
You are overestimating the amount of guys with decades long track record of 1.50 eras and sub 1.00 whips
They dont exist
3 batter minimum

I doubt that. I think the expectation and hope was a split. We have JV going tomorrow

Losing one game in the 9th is like Raid, brings the roaches out.

Some real lol bad calls tonight. Still had them beat until Pressley's performance

Make Mental Asylums Great Again!
wow, that was a major league choke job by Pressly
I've been going back and forth on posting this thought, because at the end of the day we still lost. However, we shouldn't let Pressly's meltdown completely tarnish the fact that those a-holes only had 2 hits for 8+ innings.
Some context for everyone. In any case, tonight was a game you wish you could've had.
Astros are now 24-3 when hitting multiple homers, 39-1 when leading after eight innings and 16-2 when scoring at least six runs.

39-1?? Not good enough. Fire Pressly, trade for a cyborg Mariano Rivera, dump Bregman, and trade for Mike Trout to address CF. Oh wait, I forgot Bregman is cool with everyone this week.linkdude said:

I'm really glad the people in this thread don't run our ball club. Or run any organization I work for. Tonight was tough, but damn.
Thank you for bringing some sanity to this thread. Up 10 games and it's almost to the point I don't want to follow along on this thread after 8 years.
Tough loss to say the least. They responded well to a very similar one a couple weeks ago, so I hope they'll do the same tomorrow.
If I'm in the minority here I will own it, but do we not want a more traditional closer? Maybe there is no one available, but I just personally (long before today) have wanted RP to be in the set up role. More of the Brad Lidge setting up Wagner type of deal.
