Even a routine play with Goodwin is an adventure

I don't trust Kimbrel EVER

I have no good guesses about how this will go, at least until there is a CBA. Imagine that the $180 million soft cap they just proposed was accepted and the Yankees and Dodgers needed to cut payroll too…who would take Kimbrel on? You’d have to package him with someone to move that. Worst case scenario obviously but illustrative.

If you don’t think you can trade him, do you pick up the option?

Just serving up meatballs. Just throw off speed Jesus. 

Oh Kimbrel

Vazquez has been a pain this series.

Thought that was gone.

You have to make the call on the option 10 days after the World Series. A lockout could end 4 months later before it cost regular season games.

Letting him go for nothing would be a mistake. Pick up the option, hope you can trade him, if not you still have a solid albeit expensive 8th inning guy.

No chance the MLBPA signs off on a 180 soft cap.

And that DK contract is going to be the anchor in the offseason, maybe we find someone for Kimbrel as well.

The trade was a mistake. 

Horseshit inning for Kimbrel. Hes been good lately, but this was awful

How do you not throw a curve to try and get a strikeout?

I agree 

Can't keep a lead consistently in the 8th

8th inning every F'N game..............Kimbrel just awful

LOL fuck this dude

Garcia/Hamilton/Goodwin in the 8th, fear our hitters!

Craig Kimbrel ladies and gentlemen, can't even hold the comeback of the year.

Kimbrel was a bad trade from the start. Gave up too much when we already had a closer, and what we needed was an outfielder.  

Kimbrel has been pure trash for us.

Yeah, and this was the good part. The bad part is the 5 years of watching Heuer and Madrigal play for the Cubs. Hahn’s track record of trading for veterans is abysmal. He has made some of the worst value trades in MLB history.

His fastball is just meat. Below average velocity for him with no command. Pitch selection for him has been a debacle.

Both Garcia and Goodwin have been decent recently.

Last pitch you wanted to throw was a high fastball when you are trying to avoid a sacrifice fly.  Kike is a good fastball hitter.
