Astros 10/9, ALDS game 4

[Slasher9]

And he certainly looked overworked today, didn't he? I was surprised he could actually throw the ball, he looked so exhausted. Let's not forget that he threw 100 pitches 4 days ago.

 

1 inning too many. Too bad we couldn't find a way to save him an inning or two towards the end of the season....

[Station 13]

Where is Kimbrel?

[cp176]

got to lift him - whew

[TylerD]

One wrong pitch. Otherwise Sale was absolutely magical today.

Yup agreed especially with Kimbrel well rested and could go 2 innings. Left Sale in too long. But regardless the offense needed to create us some breathing room and couldn't. This game is taking time off my life.

[Emp9]

It’s still ok. We got last outs and this is more our way of playing.

[TylerD]

Wtf are you doing Kimbrel!!!

Wtf Kimbrel?

He threw fewer innings and fewer pitches in September than any other month. He had 9 days rest before he pitched Oct 5 and gave up 2 dingers in the first freaking inning. He just didn't have it that day the same way he had it today. That's baseball. Who knew, for another example, Verlander would give up a dinger to Beni?

Awful start for him.

[OH FOY]

[d-money]

I don't understand bringing in kimbrel. I don't

[Slasher9]

Well f***

[NativeBostonian]

That sucks.

[d-money]

What a mistake bringing in this guy. Would never have brung him in. Lousy managing

[OH FOY]

Kimbrel not up to big moment.

[TylerD]

I'm gonna throw up. One out you bloody moron. How do you screw that up!!!!!

He was rested and had a solid year. I thought it was the right move but clearly not. I can't believe this.

[d-money]

Gonna need a miracle now.

[Beaneater]

Should have been Reed in the 8th, Kimbrel in the 9th. Sometimes you just go with the old standby.

2 earned runs today. Not sure he "had it"......

Two men out and one man on when Kimbrel came in. A piece of cake for any reliever, especially one of Kimbrel's calibre. He choked, pure and simple.

I don't like bringing in your closer like that and not even in a lead.

That's why it makes no sense at all! You bring in reed.

Right. Kimbrel didn't do his job, simple as that. He had two outs and a man on first when he came in and gave up a wild pitch, a walk, and a single.

[TylerD]

Please god somebody just do something. I don't want to see the game end like this. Been such a competitive and hard fought game. Heart breaker to see our closer piss it away.

[OH FOY]

Come on moookie

Yup it didn't pay off. Could be the season because of that move.
