OK, Craig. No leadoff walk to Koyie Hill, please.

 

[USMA76]

Yeah, I do too. I don't like that I feel it, but I do. Kimbrel is just so erratic this year... yet he's still by far the best in the game.

This year, Kimbrel usually takes a batter or two to settle in often allowing a walk in the process. After that, he generally gets in a groove. That's ok in a two or three run game but in one run situations, it's leading to too many blown saves--four so far (and we're still a couple of weeks until the All-Star Break).

Papelbon has 27 K's this season while Craig has 55. Jeez.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Altuve is hitting .348 this year with 116 hits. That's just awesome.

Altuve is hitting .348 this year with 116 hits. That's just awesome.

Might be the coolest player in the league.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Freaking Revere with another hit. This dude is on fire.

 

[USMA76]

OK, let's not blow another road game in the ninth inning with two out...

 

[UNCBlue012]

Well... hell of a 1-2 punch with Revere and Rollins. Come on Craig, just pitch.

 

[The Tariff King]

OK, let's not blow another road game in the ninth inning with two out...

Kimbrel says hello.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Kimbrel's had hiccups before. He is capable of going months without giving up a run.

 

[atl717]

What the hell Craig...come on

 

[TURBO]

I would walk Utley.

 

[USMA76]

I would walk Utley.

Can't put the winning run in scoring position, otherwise I'd agree.

 

[TURBO]

Love how simmons back ups every throw Laird makes to the pitcher.

 

[USMA76]

Winning run now in scoring position anyway.

 

[nsacpi]

Throw it harder

 

[TURBO]

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

 

[Garmel]

YES!!!

 

[UNCBlue012]

SWEEEP!!!! Thank you Craig. Dude, you've gotta get your stuff together though! 8-3 road trip... so awesome.
