Kelly did enough to win against a tough offense. He needs to be more economical with his pitches against weaker offenses and go deeper in games.

 

Now please don't assume that I am making excuses for Kelly, BUT he said last nigh, and it was affirmed by Farrell, that the game plane was to get the O's hacking at pitches outside the zone. But they were not biting. This is why he had so many 3 ball counts and full counts. It makes sense. Eck was all over Kelly's s*** for being wild just after making an outstanding pitch. Then Eck heard the interviews and backed off.

 

I certainly don't know enough about executing pitches and pitching strategies.

 

In any case, Kelly had some good moments. He did throw a lot of pitches without a lot of damage other than the dinger.

Kimbrel strikes out the side.

 

How badly did we need that win?

 

We needed that win badly to stop the sky from falling.

 

At least for one day.
