Doesn't make sense.
They shipped him to CHI because he sucked and he's gotten worse since then.
As someone who has followed literally every Pressly appearance this year because of Astros Bingo, this sounds like a really bad idea. He got few saves early on when they were blowing people out but I don't feel like he has pitched in any sort of pressure situation in months unless it's just been because they ran out of arms.
Granted he had an 8-earned run, 0 inning game thrown in there at the beginning of May, and had gotten his ERA down from 7.62 to 3.22 as of July 18. But in that time he's collected 1 save, 5 holds, and blown 2 saves badly. He's giving up hits and walks almost every time he pitches. If you look at his splits, in the last 28 days, opponents have a .290 average off him and are slugging .710. He's given up 4 HR in 8 games across only 31 AB.
Whatever happens it's clear Parades' injury is career changing.
Has anyone said whether Isaac had surgery yet? Are we sure the Astros medical staff didn't instruct the doctors to surgically attach a an elastic band to his forehead attached to a ham?
sounds equivalent to blowing out a knee
hmmn, Dana talking about 2026 already
Is the game only on Roku? I just watched 5 minutes of a crossbow show in a sleepy haze before realizing the game wasn't coming on.
Nevermnd, I founds it on the computer. Old age avoided.

Anybody else having problems with buffering?

My feed is good. Channel frozen when the previous show ended but just went back to guide and back to the game and no issues since.
We need good Framber today!

Kinda,, keeps showing the buffering icon, while the game streams just fine in the background
Edit; currently watching on phone since the Roku app won't let me cast?
I mean, I'm glad it's free but this is a horrible app/experience so far

Exactly what mine is doing.
We need to score more than 3 runs today
Hader is having a great year, I would not sign Press. Awesome dude though
I mean I'm sure someone is looking at every player who's DFA'd to see if they're worth signing
I have been wondering about the Correa at 2B possibility. That would be an ELITE IF defense, hide Altuve in LF, and keep all the toys in the lineup.
Sanchez doubles
Need a clutch 2 out hit
Or not

If they bring back Pressly it has nothing to do with Josh Hader.
It would come down to if they think he's better than our worse bullpen arm and willing to accept a low leverage role.
Ultimately up to Murphy and Miller.
Nice play by Remy, good swing by Sanchez too..
Damn, CC hit that 111 mph
I can see why the Sox traded away Devers
they have plenty of talent
they have plenty of talent
Welp TexAgs finally making me use the app..can't mirror from my browser and use TA at same time
Yep, Pressly would be a Neris like pickup. I would trust Pressly more Luis Contreras or John Rooney.
i just want to watch this game without this stupid buffering circle in the middle.
Refsnyder is a pain in the rear
Need a dp
Boston leave a runner at 3rd
Framber throwing a ton of strikes early, and good sharp break on the curve early
Astros Bingo Update 8-3-25
A lot of people's bingo cards continue to go south as a lot of teams are going all over the place and injuries mount up.
HEADED FOR A B+
The good guys are down to a 90-72 pace. We've been above 90 for a couple of months, so a win today would be swell.
CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SAYING THIS
Christian Walker, dare I say, is hot. He's up to season-high paces of 22 HR and 85 RBI. He's got a real shot at 25 and 90, quite unbelievably.
THAT'S A SHAME
King Tuck has cooled off quite a bit from his torrid start He hit 1 HR in July and hasn't had one in August so far. That's 17 HR in April-June, and only 1 since. He hit .218 for July with a .295 slugging percentage. Jose Abreu doesn't see a problem His down to a 27 HR pace (square is 25). That's a shame.
GETTING HOT IN SACRAMENTO
The A's have played much better of late and are on pace for 70 wins, their square is 75.
SOUTH SIDE SIZZLE
The White Sox went 12-13 in July. This is a team that went 5-21 in April. It was their best month since June '23 when they went 13-13. Long story short, they have a legit shot to NOT lose 100 games a year after losing 121. Right now their pace is 61-101. That's throwing off their 115 loss square and the "Dodgers double up the White Sox" square.
THAT'S A SHAME, WEST COAST EDITION
Speaking of the Dodgers, since the Astros swept them, they've been almost as bad as the Astros. They are on pace to go 93-69 with their $220 million payroll which will pay out $3.7 trillion in 2060. They went 10-14 in July. 93 wins would be their lowest win total outside of COVID since 2018. That said, other than COVID they've won at least 91 wins every year since 2013.
HIT MAN
Jose Altuve had #2,347 yesterday. His next stop is Orlando Cepeda at 2,351. He's about 30 behind Freddie Freeman for the active lead. they're the same age, but Freeman debuted a year earlier and has about 650 extra plate appearances. Jose has only shaved 6 hits off Freeman's lead in 2025, Freeman raced by him by having 199 hits in 2022 and 211 in 2023. Jose missing 72 games hurt in '23 really hurt that lead as well.
Jose is on pace for about 53 more hits this year, that would get him up to exactly 2,400. That would get him to 127th. He needs to get to 2,514 to reach the top 100.

Nice play by Breggy
Bregman with the arm.
Trammell walks
Let trammel steal? Or a hit and run?
