Cubs fans not too happy with Kimbrel to put it mildly.
Kimbrel may be one of the top reasons the Cubs miss the playoffs. Damn.
[MENTION=89]nsacpi[/MENTION] favorite John Gant now has 11 wins in less than 65ip out the bullpen.
His WAR must be off the charts. So many wins.
We know that AA wanted to sign Kimbrel and said repeatedly he was close to getting both he and Keuchel. He just wasn't willing to go the extra year Chicago went. So it's not like he had this foresight not to sign him, he was just sticking true to keeping years as low as possible while keeping high AAV. Half luck I suppose.
Nats just lost, if Brewers win, they'll be tied at the top. Brewers won the season series 4-2, so there is that.
Nats are up 1 in the L column but Brewers have the much easier schedule. Nats play 5 at home vs Philly and end the year vs Cleveland. Brewers play Reds and Rockies on the road, easier schedule on paper but on the road.
I think it's now 70/30 that Davey is going to get canned unless they beat the Dodgers in the LDS. If they choke that 5-6 game lead they had as the #1 WC and go to Milwaukee and lose he's going to get fired.
