Who’s the Most Awesome, Craig Kimbrel or Ryan Pressly

If you are an Astros fan you know by now that bullpen specialist par excellence Ryan Pressly broke a rather impressive record. He has made 39 straight appearances, from August 15, 2018- May 17th, 2019, without allowing a run. You probably also know that Pressly broke the record formerly held by Craig Kimbrel, who pitched for Atlanta and accumulated his record of scoreless innings between June 14th, 2011 and August 8th, 2011.

That’s pretty awesome. Thirty nine appearances, about 38 innings, without allowing a home run, or a walk and a run scoring double, or a single, a stolen base and a single.
