(Insert excuse for Kimbrel here)

CK sucks beyond belief 

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

I've never seen his velocity this low

Maybe Kimbrel is working on getting us a 1-run win.

Hate this dude and his stupid ass arm perch. 

At least that homer restore the football score lol

investing in kimbrel is like investing in some tired boomer stock.

Can’t pitch yourself into a save situation.

Former team, not intimidated at all, non save situation, blah blah.

Great comeback win!

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

And Kimbrel

will they pose with the trophy?

Kimbrel had a 6 ERA between 2019 & 2020 combined. Who possibly could have foreseen that in his current form he might not be the most reliable reliever in the game?

Nice strikeout Kimbrel. Way to rebound and show true grit and character. That's why you are a hall of Famer like Tony. 

If they change the game to two outs an inning this pen would be great.

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

Absolutely ridiculous to put Kimbrel into this game. What the fuck.

Think of absurd you sound.

He's getting $16 million and a high leverage guy.  GET THE DAMN BATTERS OUT !  Enough  with this shit.

You forgot who is manager.

Tony said Zavala is catching tomorrow, but he’ll likely play DH, possibly 1B, unless they have a health plan which dictates he won’t play two consecutive games for X days.

Sox have bad luck with NL talent namely pitchers.

game would have been over with one curve to Wisdom

I think it was called, wasn't it? But Kimbrel thought he knew better than Yas, and shook it off, to the fastball.

all 4 homers he's allowed have been on the fastball
