• Cubs 8, Pirates 3: Seiya Suzuki leads a home-run barrage off Paul Skenes

Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty Images The Cubs did something off Skenes that had never before been done by any team. After the Cubs lost Wednesday evening, with Paul Skenes looming on the horizon, a series loss might have been possible. “Not for this Cubs team,” said Cubs hitters. They smashed four home runs, three of them off Skenes — in one inning, the fifth. Dansby Swanson, Kyle Tucker ...2025

David Banks-Imagn Images Well, I had a bad feeling and wasn’t wrong about this series. Before the series, I expressed some concern on this one. The Cubs weren’t going to be taking the Phillies lightly at this point in the season. So “trap” isn’t really the right description for the series. But, this was the tail end of a very brutal stretch to start the season for the Cubs and the Phillies...2025

The Cubs got some outstanding pitching from starter Jameson Taillon Sunday night at Wrigley Field, and then two good relief innings from Porter Hodge and Ryan Pressly. But they could not get the bats untracked, and then a rough 10th from Julian Merryweather led to a 3-1 Phillies...2025

Photo by Masterpress/Getty Images Sunday’s meltdown was one of the worst in recent memory. As a refresher, one of the things that torpedoed — to use a current baseball-related word — the Cubs’ 2024 season was some awful bullpen work over the first couple of months.

2025
"A 6-1 ninth-inning lead is a good time to find this out, but in the future, I think Craig Counsell should limit Palencia to one inning at a time, especially since after the home run Ryan Pressly got up to get loose, and that shouldn’t have had to happen in a 6-1 game."

2024
"Michael Harris hit a single off of Ryan Pressly, followed by a ground-rule double from Austin Riley."

2023
"The Braves had a ghost of a chance against Ryan Pressly in the ninth, as Pillar walked to bring the tying run to the plate."

"Astros closer Ryan Pressly lands on injured list with neck issue"

2021
"Astros closer Ryan Pressly made his 60th appearance of the season in yesterday’s 9-5 win over the Angels, thus reaching an important contractual milestone."

"Houston lost Ryan Pressly and Chris Devenski to injuries on Monday night"

2019
"Since we last checked in on the 2019-20 free agent class, seven more potential free agents came off the board: Chris Sale, Paul Goldschmidt, Xander Bogaerts, Justin Verlander, Matt Carpenter, Khris Davis, and Ryan Pressly."

2018
"The Minnesota Twins avoided arbitration with Eduardo Escobar, Ehire Adrianza, Robbie Grossman, Trevor May and Ryan Pressly."

2017
"George Springer launched a mammoth homer, a majestic 473-foot blast off Twins reliever Ryan Pressly in the seventh inning Wednesday -- the second-longest homer this season in the Majors and the farthest by an Astros player in the Statcast™ era."

2016
"Saltalamacchia's drive to left field off reliever Ryan Pressly (1-2) allowed Justin Upton to score from first."

2015
"31 ERA in four Grapefruit League appearances, right-hander Ryan Pressly was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday."
