Tough loss but life goes on. The real issue here is what value is a closer that pitches one inning all series. Seriously just trade Kimbrel. Love the guy but he just isnt that important. Average closer saves like 88% of games. At the end of the day unless you lose your closer like a true secret weapon they just are not that important.
Don't worry guys...Craig will be ready for the call in April.
