Red Sox (Crochet) vs Cubs (Horton): 7/20/25, 1:20pm

Great start Pressly

[soccer10k]

Well that’s not good.

[PeanutPunch33]

So predictable 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Presslys luck finally ran out

[UMFan83]

Ok yeah Pressly sucks

[Geographyhater8888]

This would be a really disgusting loss.

[Hot Sauce]

Welp. You knew the lead-off walks was eventually gonna bite you and there it is.

[Andy]

You can live with giving up a HR to a good lefty, but walking the guy in front of him is why no Cubs fan has warmed up to Pressly very much.

[chibears55]

Fucks, leave it to Pressly to fudge it up

Stop pitching him in close games late, hes not the guy anymore.

SOB

[PeanutPunch33]

Pressly is a horsefeathers washed up bum.  I feel bad for Horton.  

[Geographyhater8888]

It shouldn’t have come down to holding them to a shutout in the first place after stranding 11 base runners. Home run or bust.

[UMFan83]

Why couldn't Thielbar have stayed in the game?

[UMFan83]

Good news, the Brewers made an out without scoring yet.  26 more outs and 1 Dodgers run to go

[BigSlick]

Oh my god I’m so angry because I was just about to post “this is 100% the type of game we lose because we left way too many runs on the field” and there it is 

[Derwood]

I know people are pissed at Pressly, but he was riding 23 1/3 IP with a 0.77 ERA over his last 25 appearances. One HR doesn't make him a "washed up bum"

[s2obed]

Trash. Presley shouldn’t be the guy pitching the 7th of a 1 run game.  Don’t care how he has looked lately.

The only way the Brewers lose is if the Cubs also lose.  Laws of being a Cubs fan 

[chibears55]

3 must get for Hoyer

A good SP

A good RH bat for bench

A good late inning reliever 

If he can muster up anything more to upgrade them then awesome

To be fair it’s only the 2nd game he’s allowed an earned run since May 6th

[CubinNY]

DFA, DFA, DFA,

Pressly isn't great or anything but he deserves better than being on that list

[BigSlick]

This is the kind of game good teams lose. It’s also the kind of game great teams figure out how to win. The choice is yours, Cubs.

No but once you get to the 7th, you gotta be able to feel comfortable knowing you should be sending out your 3 best relievers to hold them. Pressly isnt one of them.
