8/9 vs New York Yankees and the Gay-Rod retirement tour

[d-money]

One more. Go sox!!!!

[Slasher9]

Oh and great game by HoF...

[Wade Boggs]

He is trying to shake the rust off.

[d-money]

Always an adventure with kimbrel. Geez.

[Slasher9]

Remember when we used to have a closer that didn't walk every other batter?. Sigh...

[Jasonbay44]

Come the f*** on Kimbrel

[Slasher9]

Jfc

[a700hitter]

Oh come on!

[a700hitter]

Three walks! Kimbrel overpowers Leon. Last time out Leon had a lot of trouble catching Kimbrel.

[S5Dewey]

Does anyone other than me get tired of Kimbrel's repeated wildness?

 

This game is an extreme example but it seems like every time I see him pitch he goes 2+ balls to every batter. I thought a good closer was supposed to be able to throw strikes!

 

Or is it all ok because he usually gets out of it?

[d-money]

Throw strikes *******

[a700hitter]

Farrell is sitting on his hands as usual

[S5Dewey]

Kimbrel has now gone to a 3 ball count to every batter he's faced. All five of them. This is ridiculous.

[Station 13]

Why is he still in

[a700hitter]

After loading the bases on walks, Farrell should have removed him.

[Nick]

should have pitched Ziegler

[Jasonbay44]

What the f*** Kimbrel

[Slasher9]

Jesus h christ

[S5Dewey]

How many million dollars for this?

[d-money]

Take him out of the f***ing game

[a700hitter]

So now Farrell will put Barnes in a situation where a little single ties the game.

[bowman]

Nothing comes easy for us....nothing

[Jasonbay44]

I do agree with pulling Kimbrel, he looks like s***, I would put Ziegler in here instead of Barnes though

[moonslav59]

This is sickening

[d-money]

One pitch away from a disaster

[S5Dewey]

Kimbrel has now gone to a 3 ball count to every batter he's faced. All five of them. This is ridiculous.

 

Update: Make it SIX

Its super frustrating. That's what made Koji special as our closer. Never ever walks.

[Wade Boggs]

Never can be a 1-2-3 for the wild thing Kimbrel

[a700hitter]

Good news/bad news -- after almost 40 pitches, we will not see Kimbrel tomorrow.

Barnes in vs the ghost of Teixeira
