Quick! Someone tell us how awesome Pressly is! Career high strikeout rate (13.2 K/9) and everything else is pretty normal, too. Except for the .457 BAbip. Stuff hasn't declined. 3.38 ERA outside of one bad outing vs. the Rangers. I'm not worried at this point. |

Average FB velo is only down 0.6 MPH from last year and 0.4 from the previous two seasons. The H in WHIP is for Hits, which are inflated by that bonkers BAbip. Saves and blown saves over a 16 inning sample size tell you nothing about likely future performance. |

I’ll refrain from criticizing when he steps it up from his pedestrian results as Abreu and Hader have done recently. A run-scoring single after yet another XBH off Pressly won’t curry favor from me or other fans. |

"yet another XBH" was an 81mph off the bat blooper that fell in no-mans land. 9 times out of 10 it's a weak popout that we would criticize if one of our hitters hit it. Outside of that he gave up one single. He looked fine. |

His ugly WHIP details that this was one of many games Yeah but that's where watching the games is important. You can see that a lot of the contact against him is just falling in the wrong places. It's not that he's pitching bad. His FIP is just barely worse than Hader's and better than every other reliever on the team (outside of Hader). That's not to say he hasn't given up some hard contact, but the deeper stats show that he has pitched considerably better than what the results say for a small sample size. You're complaining about a 16 inning amount of work...one or two bad luck bloopers will inflate stats in that short of time. And, besides, he has only give up 2 ER in the last 7.2 IP despite a really bad luck .444 BABIP. He is trending in the right direction as are the others. |
