So despite this nice comeback win, we now have a hole in the rotation and even more question marks about our $16 million co-closer who we all thought had just fixed himself the day prior. This team is fucking exhausting.

Kimbrel's ERA when he joined the Sox was under .5. It's now over 2 in a span of 10 innings.

At least that homer restore the football score lol

Way to waste Kimbrel in a 7 run game just for him to give up 2 dingers.

You can't be serious...

He clearly sucks when the game isn't on the line.

They scored a bunch off the Rockies. Their bats are probably going well right now, especially against bad pitchers like Keuchel and Wright.

This almost looks like a bullpen session with how often they're calling for fastballs.

Well now we can't say Kimbrel has a 0 ERA in the 9th. Shoulda gone curve to him at least once.

Nice catch

I doubt he plays. Although it's hard to sit a guy after he hit 2 homers with 8 RBI.

I'm beginning to think the adrenaline of a save situation magically fixes his mechanics.

So far, it doesn't look like it.

I know Kimbrel was warm, but why waste him in a 7 run game?

Grandal had 0.4 WAR in this game alone. Started the day at 1.7 and is now at 2.1.

Grandal now hitting .203 with a .876 OPS. He started the day around .820.

Sit down Kimbrel, it's Ruiz time!

We got 2 touchdowns and a field goal

YAZZZZZ

Grandal with a chance to get over the Mendoza line.

You might never see Eloy take 3 walks in a game ever again.

Win expectancy is around 98%.

In terms of overall contract, no. But in terms of money and years remaining, they're not that far apart.

Since this is actually a kind of close game now, Leury should move to SS and Hernandez back to 2B.

Dallas Keuchel ain't far behind in terms of bad contracts.
