Cora the magician.

 

 

Why? Because he made himself disappear.

Good one!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This is like Kimbrel, his last year here.

 

Yup, he was a drama queen.

Yup, he was a drama queen.

 

Except they always left Craig in to get the last out.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The reason Whitlock wasn't available to close tonight is because he's scheduled to start tomorrow's game starting at 6:10PM ET. I'm probably the only one here who didn't know that.

That last inning was like a stress test.

[Bellhorn04]

That disgusting ballpark resembles a circus tent inside a mausoleum.

 

Great description, SPLINTER.

[Old Red]

That last inning was like a stress test.

 

It was the Great Escape last night, but next time things might turn out so well. Do you trust Streakman as the closer? Do you trust Barnes? I know the overwhelming opinion is for Whitlock to start, but I have said since the beginning of the season that if Barnes can’t close than Whitlock should. To me using Whitlock 3-4 times a week is better than 2. I know the Rotation needs help too, but that’s just my opinion.

I think Robles could be the closer.

It did have a Story-book ending.

[Old Red]

I think Robles could be the closer.

 

I’d go with him over streakman.

[Bellhorn04]

I think Robles could be the closer.

 

He's definitely working his way in that direction.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

I think Robles could be the closer.

 

Ironically, when he got to Boston last summer he was Diekman, throwing as hard as he could and liable to hit the mitt, the batter or the backstop at any time.

Great description, SPLINTER.

 

Completely agree. Barnes was a weird choice, but he got Wander Franco, he of the 1.111 OPS and WAR of 1.1.

[mvp 78]

That and s***ing his pants

 

Gets Wander out with bases loaded and is called a pants shitter. Bad post streak continues.
