Colome's Hat

New metrodome.

Was curious and went back and watched the at bat. One of those pitches, the third one, was absolutely a strike. I would say the fourth was borderline. He looked much more comfortable in the strikeout. One of the drawbacks to Kimbrel is he's super easy to run on. To be honest, catchers need to be aware of that and just block anything.

Kimbrel will be fine. He likely would have worked his way out of the jam. He also was stiffed on a few close calls in that first at bat. Reading about Kimbrel. He's a creature of habit. He thrives on routines. And he's likely now getting used to that routine of the 8th inning. I would rather he learn to get used to it now than in the postseason. I would give him a few opportunities to close.

If Tony can have Kimbrel in there in an even tighter situation against the As, he can leave him in to pitch with two outs and the tying run at the plate. Also, I love TA and he won us the game but Bummer should have been out of that inning.

We can't use Madrigal because Madrigal can't play this year. TLR just apologized publicly to Kimbrel. Kimbrel is a big boy. he can handle it.

Might have been just having him warming up in case the gaem got out of hand.

TLR needs to leave Liam in. He ahs Kimbrel who can go tomorrow.

Just walk him

He also should know and be aware that Kimbrel is easy to run on. Should have been prepared for that .

Great at bat

Feel good about our chances now.

TA's play should have been an error. TA has to make that play. What a lazy throw to Cesar.

He should have left Gio in.

settle down

Lucas needs to get the 8th.

Only Eloy could play that into a triple

Eh. They all favor the Sox by far. But tampa ain't know for their rotation. Still Lucas is dealing. May only take one more

Wacha's not going to be in there much longer. Gotta get him while we can.

Terrified of Eloy in the outfield the next week.

Lynn is the one guy who I think would refuse to be shut down. His issue right now is that he labors to get to the fifth inning. That being said, I think many pitchers will struggle to get over 200 innnings pitched with Covid. Cole really has to step it up to challenge Lynn for the Cy Young. Neither will get close to 20 wins. Both will still likely pass 15. I think if Lynn finishes 15-4 with a 2.25-2.50 era, that get's it done.

I love this man

Lynn said he was getting checked out by the trainer.

This is it

Can't wait for the demote Liam posts if he gives up a run.
