Stanek not fucking around. Fuck you, Gallo. 

[D3zii 3,708]

Dusty is a great guy but damn sometimes it just seems like he has no awareness . . I get it you want to trust your players but damn maybe be a manager instead of their best friend 

[Guadaloopy 10,989]

Yeah.  Give Stanek the closer job.  He’s got the stuff and the attitude this year.

Terrible fucking call. The call on the field should be 100% irrelevant to a replay, it should be looked at objectively.

Helo is the Methodist Hospital of dipshittery:

[HtownHorn 14,755]

I liked our bullpen much better when it was Stanek/Neris/Montero and Pressly was on the IL.

[rvm96 1,643]

I'm still in the Pressly fanclub. The only other closer I would try is Montero.

carlos beltran is a horrible color guy

Nope. He walks too many batters. He's a great 7th inning guy.

[cabowabo 4,492]

3 batter minimum rule.

Fake getting something in your eye and leave the game.

[Guadaloopy 10,989]

I don’t get why people are faulting Dusty here.    That’s all Pressly.  Pressly had given it all up before Dusty had a chance to do anything.

Only because this tends to happen a lot with this team!!! After awhile know your personnel . .

walk judge 

[D3zii 3,708]

We’re gonna lose it here huh??

Pressly hasn't been solid all season, there has been amble evidence that he shouldn't be the closer. Even when he was getting saves, he was having to pitch out of his own jams. It was only a matter of time before a team got to him.

[tx 3 putt 77,231]

stanek is scared

[cabowabo 4,492]

I’m fine with walking Judge here.

Yup

that fucking sucked donkey boner 

[David Dennison 18,940]

What a fucking joke.

 

[HtownHorn 14,755]

Fuck you Dusty. Why did you fucking pitch to him you stupid mother fucker? This is why the dude never wins in October, his situational awareness is abysmal.

[UTEX_ME 4,766]

Now watch them get swept 

[Gourmand 7,774]

fucking Pressly 

[cabowabo 4,492]

Dusty needs to announce that Pressley is no longer the closer. 

[tx 3 putt 77,231]

post game show will be good

[wood 11,230]

... aannnd that's why you bunt 2 runners over late in a game with a 3 run lead.

[Guadaloopy 10,989]

Well crap.  Get ‘em tomorrow on JV day.  

[Helobious 9,464]

[elfenix 34,330]

It's not happening, go watch college baseball

[Focht Up 631]

Id be ok giving Pressly his outright release right now 

[Gut Wagon 8,084]

We should have scored more runs. Plenty of chances to do so. But when you get to bottom 9 up by three, if you can't count on your closer...you don't have one. And at the moment, we don't. That's up to management to fix, and right away.

Worst loss of the season.

[utxmike05 1,828]

Gah damnit! I scared my dog away with loud noises. Thanks Pressely.

Unless it's a 5+ run lead or 2 outs, Maldonado should be bunting with runners on base, it's beyond stupid to let him swing away.

[runthebone 8,024]

Good job, Pressly.

Never happening, he has 2 years left

[TonyTexas 10,518]

Terrible loss

[Chuckie Finster 22,702]

Please help us navigate the emotions of a tough loss. You’re much more experienced with this than we are.

[Shaggy3.0 1,695]

Gave up 4 in B9.

Not a gut punch.  It's getting punched in the pussy--specifically Pressly's snatch.

When he was nearly sideways on the ground after his first pitch, I knew his pussy was swollen,

Go away newbie. We don’t need any more idiots in this thread. That’s already covered.

Regular season champs Yankees always win these. We win in the playoffs. 

[WBT 20,642]

Three walks in the 9th

[Rockethorn1978 6,101]

We need a closer, shift pressly to a set up man.

Are you regarded? I know it's not happening, but analytics shouldn't rule with an iron fist when the situation screams for the bunt. It's stupid to ignore the situation.  So like I said...that's why you bunt there.

WTF? So I guess you are regarded. You'd have to be to argue against the bunt in that situation. Go fuck yourself.
