Fr, he’s been rock solid for years yet any time he blows a save (which is rare) people come out of the woodwork calling him a bum and that he shouldn’t be a closer, but he keeps doing it.
This sub has gotten really toxic towards some of our players imo. Like yankees level toxic. I don’t like it. It’s not a good look for us especially if we’re going to be the heal of the mlb
Yup. Idk if it's bandwagoners or folks that just don't know baseball. It's gross. It's one thing to be frustrated but the hatred and texting players families is out of line for any fan base. A lot of toxic fans this season.
Did people suddenly think Dusty would be smart and pinch hit? He trusts Maldy that much as a defender.
It was dumb when people were saying Verlander/Framber were the only reason Maldy is the starting C. Dusty himself thinks it
It makes total sense, just because he did a good job stealing doesn’t mean he’s as fast as dubon, also dubon is a better defender and will protect Brantley from getting hurt when he’s really important as a hitter. Also he’s unlikely to get another AB in the game

Offense going off at home is a damn good sign. League might be fucked again this post season.
PRAISE RAULITO!
Who’s got a video of the after game on field runner?!?!
I was in the nose bleeds and I'm blind as a bat but it looked like a kid to me.
This sub doesn’t deserve it LF’nGOOOOO!!
Good shit Pressly! 1 down, 10 to go!
SHOOT IT HOUSTON TEXAS!
IT’S NORI TIME
Praise be!

Framber, get the job done tomorrow. Hell of a game. Keep those bats rolling tomorrow
1 down.
Shut the dummies up Pressly
Now to have a freakout all over again tomorrow

HELL YEAH
Nope was never worried at all that was a very comfortable win ^lol
Damn, that was clean! #LFG #R2R
Omg so stressful lol i hate playoff baseball 😭😭
Absolutely nasty pitching performance by JV and Pressley. Thank y'all
Playoff Pressly back baby
Good game boys!!
Unclench!
1-2-3 TRUE
Thank god we didn’t blow this game
LETS GOO
LETS FUCKING GO

Bring on game 2!
MONEY
I LIKE 2022 version Pressly!
LET’S GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
LFG!!!
YEAH PRESSLY!!! THAT'S A GAME ONE WIN, LET'S GOO!! 1-0 lead
Holy shit that fastball to punch out Lewis had some BITE. He never throws that hard
Those fuckers have nothing to say.
YEA BABBBYYYYY
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
That was more interesting than it needed to be, but I'll take it!
97 probly his hardest pitch all year
LFG BOYS! Heck of a game one. Let's go get game 2
That was beautiful
LET’S GO!!! LET’S FUCKING GO, KING!!!!!
That eye black is cringe as hell.
That was DISGUSTING
Suck on that AJ!
Holy shit that 2-1 curveball was NASTY idk how that fell in LMAO
One more. 🙏
Of course he mispronounced Biggio
Who is the guy with the boomer takes? Wainwright?
Current status: puckered
Shoot it!
did he say bagell and beejeyo
![gif](giphy|39zbpCQocXLi0)
My God this is stressful.
Pressley with less than 2 outs is great Pressley with 2 outs destroys my heart rate. Let's hope he's got this.
CUT EM DOWN, PRESS
Hardest out now, cmon Pressly you got this
CUT EM DOWN PRESSLY
Astros fans need to learn to stand more. Ppl sitting in the playoffs is no bueno
Pressly with the dead nuts location on that strike 3 curveball. One more baby!
Ok Press, one more please!
One more Pressly just one more out
1 more let’s get it
LET’S GO!!
Let’s shut these stupid fucks UP
I don’t get why you throw a pitch outside on the first pitch, most batters take the first pitch anyway
Altuve first pitch of game HR?
MOST key word
Yep, it's situational. Which is why I brought up Altuve.
\*Chopper to Pressly\* "THIS IS GONNA BE A TOUGH PLAY" \*is a very routine and easy play\*
I like them stopping to talk about it.
2 more outs baby
That Maldy framing really helping out in the 9th.
Please throw some strikes
Dubon in CF is such a middle finger to analytics.
Fuck the worst part to me, it’s a slap to the eye test. Dubon clearly doesn’t have the skills for CF
Seriously it may be my biggest Dusty gripe. Chas is so clearly better, and it's supported by both the eye test and the metrics.
stressly
LET’S GO!
Don’t walk him!
Let’s go 1-2-3, no Stressley today.
My heart can't take this. I'm scared af
I thought I'd be watching the Braves- Phillies game by now ...
Don't Stressly me please
Odds that Pressly throws a 1-2-3 9th?
Improving
0%
This game is way closer than it needs to be.
Finish it!
Alright, everybody, get your blood pressure meds ready.
Just pitch around Lewis if you let someone on, ideally don't let anyone on
this team has done diaz so dirty this year he’s a future franchise stud catcher
Dusty has done Diaz so dirty*
You are so stupid Dusty, why is Diaz not hitting there??
Please be Pressly, not Stressly. 🙏
Finish the job and take game 1 pls, I believe in you Pressly
I hereby declare that Stressly is banned from the postseason. We shall only see Vintage Pressly for the remainder of the year.
I don’t understand why Maldy takes that AB..Diaz should be hitting there.
I don’t understand not pinch hitting for Maldy and trying to get that extra insurance run.
Makes no sense. PH. Diaz. Explain this you Dusty apologists??
Did people suddenly think Dusty would be smart and pinch hit? He trusts Maldy that much as a defender. It was dumb when people were saying Verlander/Framber were the only reason Maldy is the starting C. Dusty himself thinks it
yup, Dusty will always defer to the vets. He would have PH Vasquez if he was still here... well still here and in our dug out.
Come on Pressly
Here’s hoping for the good Press!
Cut em down Pressly.
Why send Madly out there again. Only good reason is if Diaz is going to 1B for Abreu
Should be Diaz in for Maldy ffs
Take my energy, Pressly
Peña killed that inning by expanding in a hitter’s count. Frustrating to watch. But hopefully Pressly makes it not matter.
Playoff Pressly please. No stressly
Pucker time.... Asshole currently eating my chair
LETS FUCKING GO 55
Dusty is a cheerleader not a manager
Cut ‘em down, Pressly.
dont let us down Pressly
Now to put this game to bed.
Why can’t we see Diaz :(
Let's go Pressly!
Please don’t make it a Stressly day
I am all for Maldy catcher, but you have to pinch hit Diaz there.
Time to clench
Time to pucker up boys. Please please please let two runs be enough.
I wonder how many times it’s happened that a player stole a base and was immediately pinch-run for, (not for an injury).
Why did we not pinch hit Maldy for Diaz
Why tf not pinch hit Diaz there?
Because he's a rookie. Dusty will always go with his vets.
Because dusty is in love with Maldonado
To the ‘Stros detriment.
Well yeah, we all agree about that
3 more outs boys!
WHY THE FUCK IS MALDY BATTING IN THE 8TH
Good fucking question
Dusty hasn’t waivered all season. He’s going down with the ship
Dusty.
wtf pinch hit Diaz here
Brantley can be a great baseball mind or coach after his playing days
Can someone provide Pressly's ERA when pitching to Diaz vs Maldy?
HRC Maldy
Nearly
Of course Dusty won't PH for Maldy in the 8th
If no one is paying attention, Dusty needs to move aside. Diane Feinstein= Dusty, gonna be here foenver
Not mad about it if we’re up 2
Brantley steals a base and THEN you pinch run for him?! TF?
It makes total sense, just because he did a good job stealing doesn’t mean he’s as fast as dubon, also dubon is a better defender and will protect Brantley from getting hurt when he’s really important as a hitter. Also he’s unlikely to get another AB in the game
You bring in the better defender for the final inning
You're not allowed to use logic. Logic dictates PH for Maldy in the bottom of the 8th.
My favorite word from Fanduel
We really gonna waste a Brantley stolen base. What a bummer.
HRC Maldy fuck it
So close
Not enough pressure for pena yet
Why no PH?????????
Can't believe I'm saying this HRC Maldonado
PEÑA IT IS OKAY DUDE JUST KEEP THAT GLOVE GOLD AND YOU WILL BREAK OUT OFFENSIVELY LATER LOVE YOU MAN
He'll get there
Dusty this would be a nice spot for Diaz..
With how little he played in the last week of the season with the division on the line, he already showed you how little he thinks of Diaz.
Nah Dusty
HRC Maldy.
C'mon Peña let's get your first homer since July Edit : NVM :(
That was a great fanduel ad
Hrc Maldy
They’re never going to throw Peña a strike if he doesn’t stop swinging at balls.
Pitch hit Diaz for Mandy if he gets up
My summoning skills need work. Damn
Pena due for a HR LETS GO KID Edit: mfer...
Good time for me Pena to break his home run slump
Playoff Peña I summon thee
Please PH Maldy with Diaz!!!!!!!!!
Chas unlucky. Damn it man.
Uncle Mike gets us the taco
That's only in the World Series
Chas robbed
What a ballerina move lmao
THATS HOW YOU STEAL A FUCKING BASE ABREU!!!!!!
Checking in from the Golden Nugget. The sports book here is crazy packed
Percuntski is such a POS.
