    Because Kimbrel is the best reliever in the pen. If it was a 3 run lead would you feel much differently?
  2. Bellhorn04
    There would be a stat geek manager robot now too.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Absolutely.
  4. Bellhorn04
    There's also probably a 50% chance he won't be needed tonight. So that plays into it too.
  5. Bellhorn04
    The bottom line is, it's very common for managers to use their closer with a 4-run lead. Obviously they're not too concerned about whether it's a 'non-save' situation. They want to nail the damn thing down.
  6. Bellhorn04
    A 4 run lead is suspect IMO. When Velazquez loaded the bases in the 7th with one out, how comfy-cozy were you feeling?
  7. Bellhorn04
    Kimbrel threw 23 pitches the game before, not 30+.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Disagree 100%. 4 run leads can still go away. Closers are used frequently in 4 run lead situations. You could have the first 2 guys get on in a heartbeat and then the tying run's on deck and you've got Kimbrel up in the pen rushing to get ready.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Not sure I understand. What explanation do you need on a safe/out call?
  10. Bellhorn04
    I know right? Why would we want to derive any positivity from a 2-run jack?
  11. Bellhorn04
    Yep, at this rate, by the All-Star Break he won't be able to retire a batter.
  12. Bellhorn04
    And then robot players. The initial capital outlay might be a little steep, but once they're built you just have to maintain them. They wouldn't miss games with things like strained obliques. Best of all, no rest days necessary.

    Ah, no matter what they do or don't do, there will always be plenty of fans beetching about something. It's one of the favorite pastimes of baseball fans, before, during and after games.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Problems are relative, other teams have them too, or we wouldn't have a 45-22 record. And the current slump has only been a few games long, really.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Thanks Dave!

    Man, everyone is an armchair manager.
  17. Bellhorn04
    No speed though.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I'm hoping he's following in Lester's footsteps. Jon was much more of a nibbler early in his career.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Joe is kicking butt - too bad it's his walk year all of a sudden.
  20. Bellhorn04
    You can be sure there would be some technical glitches with robot umps too. If something can get f'd up, it will.
  21. Bellhorn04
    You want a robot for balls and strikes but you're OK with other blown calls?
  22. Bellhorn04
    He's being eased back in slowly.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I was also wondering if the original lineup last night had Holt starting in right, and Mookie was a gametime decision to play.
  24. Bellhorn04
    This was brought up by a bunch of people on the game thread. I don't have the answer for why Cora did this, but I am quite sure he had his reasons and it wasn't an oversight. I do wish the media would ask the manager this type of question though.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Why not Brock Holt?
