    Bottom of the 9th pending, but if Hyde doesn’t use Kimbrel yesterday, it’s likely the Reds don’t score a single run this series. Incredible. 

    Reds almost stole one yesterday due to Kimbrel's yips. They had no business but being swept in this series.

  2. Random thought occurred to me, most of NYY fans are either Jets or Giants fans, and most Steeler fans are Pirate fans. Is the contingent of NYY/Steeler fans sizeable? I would say that almost all are front-runners without connection to either NY or Pittsburgh. I would hate to meet these people, for many reasons...

    Kimbrel is fine.  Just use him every 3 days or so.  No back to backs.

     

    Put the players in the best situations to be successful.

     

    CK with rest?  Good

     

    CK back to back?  No good.

    Problem is he's going to start to pout if he's not getting the save opportunities. He's obsessed with the all-time save list. Getting Kimbrel may have looked good at the time but it was a bad decision by Elias. It was uncharacteristic and bad. He is no longer an every-day closer, he's expensive, and he will probably create clubhouse problems if he's demoted.

    Jury's still out on that. Even if the 'pen holds this one, Hyde could end up screwing himself tomorrow if Means has a short outing. 

    I'm done with Hyde. Unfortunately though I don't see any other potential manager doing anything differently. 

    It's the new unwritten rule in baseball. If the manager hasn't come out of the dugout by the eight inning, he gets pied in the face.

    Sometimes the pop ups in play Santander hits I wonder how the heck did he hit that fair.

    Once I saw Manny Ramirez hit a pop up in OPACY that cleared the stands by a good margin. Or at least appeared to.
