Getting An Early Start - GDT 10/4/2013: LA (Zack Stinky) @ ATL (Mike MAJOR!) Game 2

Sucks that Carpenter gave up the runs but great toughness to recover and make pitches. Whats done is done... but after the homer those were big outs.

Yes. He deserves a lot of credit for coming back and getting those two strikeouts.
 
So you thought it was the right move? Can't strictly judge moves based on their outcomes.

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.

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