Kimbrel is a legit closer; he's just not the closer he used to be. In his defense, most closers don't last as long as Kimbrel has. I doubt he'll be back next year, but he was a big factor during the regular season.
Seriously, you should lose your job as moderator.
LOL!

Kimbrel is a big reason we got such a huge lead in the division we could afford to rest Sale and others.
Giving up, imho, is turning off the TV when the game was 4-0. I doubt any of the posters here did that.
Heck no I was watching the entire time and was yelling and screaming at my TV. Then I was elated when Pierce got his hit. Kimbrel is a little much he makes it way too damn interesting.

He seems burnt out.
Tomorrow, I'd go Sale, Price, Barnes, Brasier.
I'm not sure he's burnt out. Like I posted earlier, he seems to be less intense when it's not an actual save. He was pretty much like that during the regular season.
