    Carpenter was dominating the last two batters, and was in his groove. Dumb

    It still wasn't the right move. Glad Kimbrel is in there to get the bottom of the order out.

    Yes. He deserves a lot of credit for coming back and getting those two strikeouts.

    Because only the 4 out save is in "the book"! Not the 5 out.

    I thought it was the right move.

    1) Carpenter is a high fastball pitcher. Kimbrel pitches lower in the zone usually.

    2) Kimbrel going for four outs is better than five outs.

    That was my line of thinking. I wanted kimbrel in the worst way, but the kid had back to back strikeouts and was in a groove shouldve left him in there.

    Kimbrel is the best relief pitcher in baseball. Case closed in my mind.
