This is what happens when a 36 year old closer has been overused bc ur middle relief has SUCKED. And it's only April 26th.

Ohhh boy.  Good Akin or bad Akin?

Seems always a toss-up with this BP

Sure didn't look like it...

I’ve been done with McKenna since he dropped that fly ball. 

[TopGunnar]

Thank God I don’t have to watch that anymore.

I want to see how Albert Suarez would do in the bullpen. Because we need someone else who can pitch in save situations and we have to be conservative with how much we use Kimbrel.

My kingdom, my kingdom for a DP.

Another game Burnes pitched well enough to get a W and won't.

So one play defines a skill set? I’m not happy he didn’t catch it but come on. 

[TopGunnar]

Keegan Akin haha. 7-2 score incoming

just cant keep going to the well and expect success every single night...Kimbrel is overworked and it shows...we better get more options in the pen...this is a loss and its all on Kimbrel and the crappy offense against a mediocre starter....

The O's offense isn't going to show up every night.  This game is on Kimbrel.

[ChosenOne21]

We all knew Kimbrel would blow a save eventually. Still, he's been great this year.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Haha got a down vote for saying the home plate ump has looked pretty good

[dtk9119]

Lol pitch clock violation.

Get out of it and I'll forgive you Akin

There's one!

[Billy F-Face3]

Akin is good against lefties.

[Gurgi]

Kimbrel we hardly knew ye.  Probably hurt himself.  That would be our luck.
