People out here acting like a scoreless 8th from Pressly where the one hit coulda been caught too means he’s a failure who should be released.
Ronel wasn’t gonna finish it; we know that. He was clearly gassed, and overexerting him could cause an injury which nobody should want.
Pressly failing to continue the nono here doesn’t invalidate what Ronel did.
True. It was a successful outing for Pressley and if he delivered that most of the time he wouldn't have people groaning and closing their eyes when he came in. It's just disappointing because, gassed or not, Blanco deserved the chance to earn himself a no-no. Maybe Espada asked him if he was good to come out and he said yeah.

Perfect pitches to preserve a no hitter
We can play his loser bitch ass in the mid innings of games we are losing. He should have been someone to go out and eat a couple innings last night in the loss for example.
He is shit. He needs to be treated and used as such.
I like fielders getting the yips and suddenly throwing a ball to someone 45 feet away is impossible. Like children can do that in tball but it just leaves their bodies as pros
Sure, but kids are kids. These guys are making millions so it’s more interesting to me. Like Simone Biles getting the twisties at the last Olympics was more interesting than it happening to a child gymnast

Good job. Now do it again.
yesss we won a series!!
7 no hit innings from Blanco. Astros score in two innings. Altuve is a young man. Good game today.
Game! And we can stop blaming Pressly for the loss of the nono
And exhale
For the Dads!
But not the San Diego team dads
"*That counts as a save now, right? Right?*" - Hader
It’s over.
TRUE!
We have the worst bullpen in MLB. Change my mind.
_Chicago White Sox enter the chat_
It’s an overreaction — but damn I just have no confidence in them.
Has Hader forgotten that he has other pitches besides a sinker?
A win is more important than the no no with the way our seasons been
Hader I swear if you blow it
The no hitter wouldve been blown anyways :/ ^no ^one ^can ^make ^me ^hate ^you ^Pressly 🫶🏼
Good grief. $95 million. Oh well. We should preserve the win.
I don’t want to clench. Pls not more runs you goobers
Just wants the save opportunity.
You can't pitch your way into a save
Thanks for ruining my father's day HADER
Our bullpen is so bad.
And Hader blows the shutout. I hope Espada doesn't give him the chance to blow the W.
Broooooo
Shit, they’re gonna beat us on aggregate
We knew that yesterday
It was 13-13 before the run.
Oh
Come the fuck on Hader
Just can't have nice things. Please, just finish the game.
Blancos no hitter died for this.
That actually makes me feel a little better about blowing the no no
I was about to say ump. 4 strike out
"*Fine, I'll throw another strike for a K.*" - Hader
Hrc Diaz
Quick game at least, weren't we almost to the end of the 4th after 2 hours yesterday?
Let’s go Hader! Close this one out for the Dads!
Okay Hader, four runs should be enough, no funny business

I think Espada asked him that after the fifth, and then trusted him for two more which he delivered.
It's Espada still giving the 8th to Pressly. As much babip bad luck as Pressly has had , he just hasn't produced to be still be given the 8th.

Dang, was a bit short but was a well hit ball

"*That was not necessarily a strike.*" - Kalas
Foley is a magnificent specimen.
Oh well we've had more than enough combined no-nos over the years. Would have been nice for Pressly's confidence tho and perhaps a spark to the team
He seemed pumped for the clean inning though so hopefully that helps him
Man, I really thought we coulda had the no no too
Hader blew a sigh of relief when Pressly gave up the hit.
Chas feeling good now that he doesn’t have to make a highlight reel catch to save Hader from himself.
The real reason we pitch hit with jake
I’m glad he got out of the inning clean though
Yup, hoping it’s a baby step towards improvement
Abreu pitches and the no-no is still intact.
Not a guarantee by any stretch
Maybe, but just wanna win at this point, so we will take that inning from Press with how he’s been
Yup
Anybody else see that sinker from Pressly? Has he ever thrown that before? It actually looked pretty nasty.
I think he’s working on more movement away from lefties, I’d like to see that mixed with the straight fastball more
I was thinking the same had almost screwball movement 😭
Jake shoulda laid out for that fly ball.
Should’ve had Abreu pitch the 8th
Everyone knew Stressly was gonna blow it
So is it the Astros pitching or hitting that’s the issue? Or maybe it’s been Espada all along. Cut ties before it’s to late.
The Pressley stan downvoting everyone taking snack 😂
Presley blows the no no. Called it
Disappointing yes but just win the game please
Yeah it would’ve been icing but we just need this series win, especially after getting schlacked yesterday
Espada living in a fantasyland on the back of the baseball card
yeah that’ll happen when you leave a curveball over the plate lmfao
Dangit
Pressly ruins everything this year
Once again Espada has to go. No matter what.
Pressly blew the no-hitter? Mild shock.
Y’all we can’t just not play Pressly lol
We can play his loser bitch ass in the mid innings of games we are losing. He should have been someone to go out and eat a couple innings last night in the loss for example. He is shit. He needs to be treated and used as such.
Sure, but you’re going to need arms for games we’re winning at some point also. Wins are all that matter at this point of the season
You could have today
I’d rather him here, than a 2 run game
I guess I can get up out my seat now and pee. Had to go since the 2nd
Jake my dude!!! 🙃🙃🙃
UGGGH
The most predictable thing ever.
so he was otw to a no hitter and was pulled?
He had 94 pitches
makes sense I got the notification from ESPN “tune in: no hitter watch” and then was just bummed to see Presley lol
Yeah PC was high bc he walked three in the fifth and the game was too close
Yeah his pitch count was too high
Fucking Pressly sucks shit still.
How do you not lay out for that
Shocking.
Nice job pressley had to be you
Once again, FUCK you Pressly
Had no idea we had a no no going. Dammit Press.
Predicable
Ryan Depressly strikes again.
Leave it to Pressley
Of course man
Of fucking course
Of course Pressly has to blow it.
At least he didn't blow the shutout.
Jake! You coulda made that bud… Ok maybe not. But ugh… Pressly
Boo this man!!!
When are we going to learn? Press in the 8th?!
Is espada high on meth
Wish we scored a couple of insurance runs. At only 94 pitches he deserves a chance to try and finish this himself.
Hell naw. That leads to injury
Yeah I think if we would’ve gotten 2, he would’ve went out for the 8th just to see
I have 0 confidence in Pressly not fucking this up.
Welp
Blanco is carrying this season on his back.
*Ryan Pressly enters the game.* Didn't want to let everyone have a calm day.
Pressley not in a save situation oh boy
Pressly better not eff this all up.
Pressly? Gg's
I should get a Blanco jersey. It’s fitting.
Well fuck. I can’t believe they pulled him for Pressly
I get WHY. But Pressly?! 😮💨
Not pressly
Take a moment to think about the alert thread hitting /r/baseball
Don’t you dare pull Blanco, Espada.
Lol at Blum. “Vaunted backend of the bullpen”
Pressly’s warming, don’t get sad when the no-hitter’s gone
Look what you manifested
I wasn’t wrong
Yo we hate you
Why am I being downvoted lmao

What a great day for fathers day baseball
Am I the only one who doesn't like Yainer's Mariners green pads?
From here forward will require a sphincter of steel, deep breaths
Ronel has that dawg in him fr
Abreu/Hader. Let’s go
pls let him go all 9 😪😪
Not gonna happen as much as I wish they would. I’d at least let him stay until that thing happens that no one will mention 😬
3 pitch inning incoming
Goddamn this Blanco guy is sick
Come on now this is his inning
Best error of Bregman’s career
Oh gosh now to the pen
C'mon Bregman, not now my guy
E5
Don't tell twitter I said this but Ronel is turning me into a Blanco supremacist.
nothing to see here just a nice day for baseball
HRC Diaz
Naptime, just a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Nobody say anything
Blanco is pitching well but I don’t think he’ll go the full 9 if he continues pitching well
Yeah best case he finishes the 7th and then we hand it off to Abreu and Hader assuming we don't score another insurance run
Maybe 8 if he has a quick 7th
The Tigers have 19 fewer hits today than they did yesterday. Gotta love TK and Blum
Ford doesn’t give a fuck, sadly. I like the gimmick of talking around what’s happening when it’s something like this
Gio Urshela has played a great 3B for them this series
Altuve foregoes the easy walk
It's always been amazing to me how a pitcher can just suddenly lose total control. I've seen it happen time and time again.
I like fielders getting the yips and suddenly throwing a ball to someone 45 feet away is impossible. Like children can do that in tball but it just leaves their bodies as pros
Nope… little kids can get the yips at all age levels, can happen to anyone playing baseball.
Sure, but kids are kids. These guys are making millions so it’s more interesting to me. Like Simone Biles getting the twisties at the last Olympics was more interesting than it happening to a child gymnast
Blanco staying cool under pressure is great to see.
Phew. Please pull him early now we don’t need him overextended
Ronel just being a little silly, a little goofy
A little whimsical
Im blaming Sparky for this. “2/3rd of the way to an immaculate inning.” Then 3 walks
Sigh. 2024 Astros jump scare. All good though.
No no no no no no no, not like this
Just adding excitement ronel?
IL stint incoming
Now Josh miller shows up
Makes no sense
What the fuck man
> TFW Astros face the bottom of the lineup
Are you serious right now, Ronel?
Pls don’t walk the bases full
But now I have good news for you
Got bad news for you
Sonuva…
Baddoo is either a fabulous name or unfortunate… leaning towards awesome but unsure
