We need to trade Pressly to Baltimore for whatever they want to give us

[WBT 20,677]

No worries, we have Abreu coming up 2nd in the 9th

[runthebone 8,052]

Also malpractice if Altuve doesn't hit in the bottom of the 9th

[UTexasFight 9,557]

Altuve to pinch hit for Abreu?

[UTexasFight 9,557]

Altuve on deck

thank god

[WBT 20,677]

Huh, I'm shocked

[UTexasFight 9,557]

And singleton for Chas

Well damn 

[David Dennison 18,953]

Thanks, Ryan.

Thanks, Joe.

Well done.

[runthebone 8,052]

Pressly and Espada can go fuck themselves in the face.

Nice 2-5 week.  Should pull the plug on Espada now

[UTexasFight 9,557]

I’m really hating the visitor half of the  8th inning this weekend 

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

I'm shocked that the manager under Dusty's tutelage didn't work out.

and the team. Trade the assets you can. Bregman getting hot is a big deal if the Astros were smart because they could now get a legitimate prospect for him.

he 10000000% needs to be gone

[Macklemore 2,876]

Add “just some unluckiness there” to the phrases I never want to hear from the mouths of Espada or Brown again. Fire this idiot now.

This thread when Cionel and Pressly mow us down in the LDS will be a treat

You think this team is making the playoffs?

I do.

looong season and I still think this team is in the top 40% of the AL.

 

[Hank Chinaski 6,324]

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

To be fair, Pressly does look about like he has over the last year or so:

 

[Scraps 13,584]

he has always been sketch and I have always disliked him....but I will admit he has been pretty nails in the playoffs after 2019

but shit we got to get there 

Edited June 3 by Scraps

[kevwun 15,937]

He's lost speed on his fastball and his breaking stuff isn't nearly as sharp.

Pressly and Chas for Goldschmidt

The Astros have been a .500 team over the last 180ish games.  This is who we are.

And it doesn't matter where we stand in the AL, we will need to win our division.  And right now we are getting smoked in the standings by two teams who have underachieved almost as much as we have.

I’m firmly in this camp

We need Yordan to go on a tear, bregman to wake up, Chas to start hitting or get moved down, Pressley to get bumped down, Jake from  Rake Farm to get some arm strength, and some starters to come back and throw lights out.

and the only reason we made the playoffs last year was the epic choke job by Seattle in September. 11-17 for Seattle while we went 12-14. Texas was only marginally better at 15-13.

Also, he's 35.

[UTPhil2006 3,818]

Today I learned Pressly is already 35. I would have guessed 31-32. 

[Mo Horn 8,871]

He done

Urquidy 2026 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[kevwun 15,937]

Apparently whatever LMJ has is contagious.  Need to keep him away from all the other pitchers.

Todays 9

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Any day Abreu isn't in the lineup is a good day I guess.

Meh, he can hang out with Pressly all he wants. 

Edit: Merging is fucking dumb and should be removed.

This be will hurt a whole lot more

Thank a lot Strom for all Timmy John surgeries 

 

[Scraps 13,584]

Seattle fired their bench coach/offensive coordinator(lmao what a douche title) while being in 1st place.

We over here diddling our buttholes 8 games under .500 and every one gets the privilege of coming to work again today

To be fair, the only teams the Mariners’ offense has outscored are:

ChiSox

Miami

St Louis

I’d rather fire Abreu and Chas. 
 

take our chances with Dubon and anyone else in the rotation

Kind of. But our pitching stats are mostly middle of the pack.

seattle’s offense is bottom 5 in just about every important category 

[tx 3 putt 77,625]

 

[BrickTop 477]

We might need another pitcher

[Limp Brisket 546]

Last I saw Garcia had a good mound session, would he nice to get him back soon.

Whitley threw 20 pitches in the BP this week + we have nothing to trade
