Pressly in and gives up a leadoff double

Dribbler in front of the plate for an infield single. Tying run at the plate

shit

Tying run on base…

Jesus.

Pressly has achieved ‘I can’t watch’ status for me

You can’t depend on him.

Whew.

At least Seager’s 9th inning home run won’t tie it.

I like Seager leading off the 9th much better than hitting with men on base in the 8th with a chance to give Arlington the lead.

I thought Pressly had turned a corner a few weeks ago but it seems April Pressly is well and truly back

TK said 10 hits in his last 5 appearances

I love the guy. He’s been great for several years.

Just not this one.
