TLR's strategy here: get kimbrel to give up two runs, bring Hendricks in for the save in the seventh. Brilliant.

Dammit

Shoulda been a double play.

I hate how stone says cesar

C'mon Cesar...you just had to fuck up at least once a game.

You can pretty much tell if Kimbrel has it just by watching the first 3 pitches from him.

He can’t throw the curve to lefties without hitting them. If anything he looks like a righty set-up man

Seems like Kimbrel has no idea where 70% of his pitches are going. 

Ball hit him and he swung lol. Kimbrel basically can't throw the curve to lefties unless they swing at it.

He keeps throwing the wipe out one to them when he should be trying to throw the get me over one in the zone.

A little thing that Tony could have done is bring out Bummer to “start” inning. Indians probably ph Mercado, which then is better for Kimbrel to face.

That's what happens when velocity is your only goal.

Can’t believe he throws a lot of 94 mph fastballs

He doesn’t have any control. Well maybe he won’t be on the team next year if he keeps pitching like this.

Pull him!

The white sox would be a better team leaving him off the playoff roster.

C'mon kimbrel sheesh

Absolutely can’t be trusted anymore 

Not for long…

Kimbrel...

If it wasn't for the caught stealing we'd be kinda screwed.

This guy sucks

I haven't disliked a player this much in a long time

But he’s totally lost his velocity 

Beyond frustrating. Trade just keeps looking worse and worse. He's going to have to be amazing in the post season for everyone to forget this debacle of a half season.

What trash

I could get on against Kimbrel right now, even if I went into the box without a bat.  He has no chance of throwing 3 strikes before he throws 4 balls.
