Sure, the 0.5ish ERA version of Kimbrel for 4 months with the Cubs...and that was AS A CLOSER.  Not an 8th inning set-up guy.

Nightly reminder: We gave up 5 years of Madrigal and Heuer for this.

Let the record show this was Hahn and Kenny’s top priority.

Then again, TLR was Jerry’s top priority.

K this fuck Kimbrel.  Then K the next guy!

Chapman has 0 chance on that knuckle curve.

Stop throwing fastballs!!!

locate a FUCKING FASTBALL

No control at all. 

lol, what a horrible AB, we'll take it.

I don't think anyone wanted THIS Kimbrel. But the one that was on the north side the first half of the season, absolutely.

Haha not even close. He bailed out awful pitch selection

If Kimbrel started throwing like 70% knucke curves does anyone think it wouldn't be effective?

ZERO CHANCE on it.

Chapman really helping us out

Holy shit those curveballs are wicked. You'd like to see it a little closer to the zone though 

even jose abreu wouldn't swing at that.

Holy moly Chapman looked so bad on those breaking balls. HUGE break

That swing was Abreu-esque.

Lucky break

When he was a closer instead of a setup man? Absolutely.
