I’m gonna make a little teeny tiny suggestion here.
Maybe it’s not such a great idea for the Cubs to keep signing former Astros relief pitchers.
We went through a roller-coaster ride with Hector Neris last year until he was let go, and the Ryan Pressly Era hasn’t begun well.
Pressly had a shaky ninth inning, serving up a two-run homer to Eugenio Suárez, and only this great play by Dansby Swanson put this game in the “W” column [VIDEO].
