Hype made his best decision of the year by pulling Kimbrel. The O's are too good to have Kimbrel mess games up. They will probably have to trade for a closer before the season is over.
This was the second time Hyde got burned by Kimbrel not being straight with him about how he felt. Last time it was after a mound visit, this time I bet he was not feeling 100% before the game and didn’t say so. Hyde won’t be able to trust Kimbrel’s own assessment of how ready he is on a given night, from here on out.
Should make things interesting.
