well kimbrel not as good as advertised

I'm sure I will get blasted for this but I would absolutely be willing to trade him this offseason.  Contract is about to get huge.

I don't think its the wrong thought at all. This seems more the norm, than the exception from him.

 

And...that may be that. That happens when you are 0-8 with RISP as a team, and 8 LOB.

Collins or the person calling the pitches is a fucking moron

Heuer could have done that 

Fuck the bullpen. Pathetic

Yoan just isnt a threat in 5th spot. Gotta move him to 2nd when Yaz gets back

Until he starts hitting again hit him 9th. Crap Judge sucks. Our 2 closers can't stop throwing gopher balls.

Which is why he wasn't valued inside the Top 30 or 50 or whatever at FG for trade purposes.

Then you're going to turn the position over to Burger?

Hard to imagine any rebuilding teams interested in a contract like that...so his market is fairly limited unless he closes out as an 800+ OPS hitter with more power the final 6+ weeks.

That's right down the pipe. 

Lol, and there are two outings now. 

Running out of chances to prove the value now.

Seems like most of our acquisitions.

Doesn’t matter. Our 2 elite closers keep getting rocked.

Moncada may never be the player Sox thought they were getting in Sale deal.

He certainly hasn't lived up to the hype.

Why is the 8th inning for this pen so dam difficult all year?

because they took a career closer (who was adamant a few years ago about staying a closer) and are trying to make him a set-up man.  

the real pain is going to come when TLR won't move anybody else into the 8th.

Why the fastballs to Judge?

Why in the living hell do you throw him another fastball?  Also Kimbrel sucks in the 8th.

Night and day between 8th inning Kimbrel and 9th inning Kimbrel.

We gave up 5 years of Heuer and 5 years of Madrigal for this

Is there a reason we don't pitch Judge inside......why let him extend his arms......I dont get it

The greatest back end of the bullpen ever sucks.

I understand them not using Liam against the middle of the Yankees order right after that disaster at the FoD game though. They need to try Kimbrel in the closer's role, maybe just not tonight.

Prepare for the wrath of Hahn.

Cause he's good at hitting those too. Judge is just a really good hitter, but clearly not as good as we're making him look.
