Please, Kimbrel has been in the league since 2010 he should be able to keep himself in a state to compete.
But yea, when he doesn't pitch like crap he pitches pretty well...just like everyone else.
His record in one run saves is abysmal.
I said during the offseason this was probably going to turn out like 2012 and 2013. The team will be better the second year but will end up with fewer wins since it won't be as "lucky".
OK, and they hit Henderson.
Ledgers balanced.
The other hit batsman that series were just the Yankees pitchers hitting folks, they lead the league in it for a reason.
So why start things back up by hitting Kjerstad of all people?
The kids is leading the league in WAR, is reigning RoY, starting in the All-Star game and folks are still complaining.
And I have the reputation for being negative.
Because they think they can drive the pitches?
Do you honestly want major league hitters going up there like kids in HS taking strikes in hope of getting a guy out of the game via pitch count?
