Not really a fan of dusty so far...

How much of this is Dusty, and how much is this a depleted pen? I've had the same concerns.

So I presume Pressley is the new closer?  Is he even healthy?

why the fuck would dusty baker put in pressly in the 9th when he hasn't pitched in over a week

You know the season is going great when we’ve got fans criticizing Dusty for going to Ryan fucking Pressly over a rookie.

At what point do we actually sign @Mez2

I'll sign for sniffing Julia's pantries 

Somehow this team still isn’t below .500...

and will be back in first after the sweep in Oakland

some nice shiny ERAs for Oakland’s starters in this series are going to look a lot worse come Monday

this whole year has been downhill ever since Neil Peart died

They turned over almost the entire bullpen and the holdovers from last year are worse or out because of injuries.  There is no managing out of those facts.

Yeah blaming Dusty is laughable.  

Pressly just shit the bed.  Walking the leadoff guy is inexcusable.  Throwing a fucking 3-2 breaking ball 6 inches off the plate?  Come on dickhead....man up and go at the fucking #8 hitter who has less than like 10 ABs in his career.  

 

Pressly hasn't been himself for about a year, I fully expected him to blow the lead last night. I wasn't happy that he was brought in to try and close it out, but i'm also not sure there are any better options on the team right now.

I know it’s early (although kinda not early w 60 games)...but at this point all I care about are the bats doing work this season to shut up the idiots hung up on the “sign scandal”. Carlos and Brantley are batting over 400 (at least as of yesterday).

We just need other top teams to suffer setbacks like us...to level the playing field. Then just go to war with bats and subpar pitching.

I would have tried Josh James could have not been any worse. I would not try Pressly until He gets more work in. 

His "work" is going to be in a meaningful situation regardless. No reason to pussyfoot with him. Either he can handle it or not.

I suppose if you expect to walk the leadoff hitter in a close situation, Josh James is definitely a closer candidate. 

James would probably be worse than Giles at closing.

Or they wreck our shit and take out years of frustration on a struggling baseball team.

I hope your version is the right one.

Good that he opted out and was able to chill with her

I don’t know what’s going on with him. The stuff looks intact but his command seems to have degraded.

Since Giles is an elite RP who has been better than Osuna since that trade, that’s not a very fair comparison.

Man, screw the As. Them beating up on the Stros was pretty much all I witnessed when I lived in Oakland. I hope even with our current suckitude, somehow Houston takes the series this weekend. 

So in the last 24 hours an Athletics coach heil'd Hitler on camera and federal authorities have charged a former Angels employee with essentially murdering Tyler Skaggs.  Looking forward to more talk about how the Astros are the scum of the league, though.

Yeah the Angels have a dude who helped kill a player, the A's have Nazi salutes going on, The Rangers minor league players sexually abuse each other, we banged a trash can

Seattle needs to step their game up they are letting the AL West down 

Hey, anybody can accidentally do the Nazi salute twice on the field after a baseball game.

I do not have a good feeling about this weekend.

Perfect. Astros sweep

I think this is the first time I’ve ever posted anything saying that I didn’t think our boys would come out on top.  I’m a borderline sunshine pumper.
 

This is baseball so who knows what happens.     

I just don't like our CF'er for the next few games.

Nice, huge dp.  Also fuck whoever decided we needed fake drum audio
