I would much rather have Kimbrel try to get himself right in a game we're sure to lose, but fingers crossed. 

We have the second best record in baseball.

You can probably count the games we were sure to lose by the 7th inning on one hand.

doesn't that inning move up when you dont have a closer you can trust

I have no idea what this means lol

[justD]

Does this mean his issue is mental?!?

[Moose Milligan]

He just missed that one. 

[emmett16]

Ugly & lucky again. 

[baltfan]

Let Kimbrel go another inning!!! /s

[dtk9119]

Kimbrel quota reached and unscathed. Now let's score and put this one away.

[EdwinRip]

9 out save!!

[spiritof66]

I hope to see Kremer pitching to Newman on Sunday.

 

[Gurgi]

Think Cano gets the ninth if we are leading?

 

Hope the Planet of the Apes movie is good.  The CGI on the commercials looks a little weak to my eye.  

[Roy Firestone]

I dont know if that qualifies as a "comeback" for Kimbrel...the last ball as crushed...but he got 3 outs and we can move on. now....we NEED MORE RUNS..

[OriolesMagic83]

Maybe Kimbrel is just a twice a week guy, three times max.  If he's rested, he's good.  If he's tired, he's ass.  Could be useful if Hyde learns how to use him.

Disagree.  That ball was in on his hands and a ball. I don’t think he was going to homer very easily on that. 

[Malike]

I want nothing from a guy with this data closing games for us.

I get the idea of Kimbrel pitching in the 7th or 8th.  If they think he still has something left then it could help his confidence, taking the closer pressure off for awhile.  I'm still a bit skeptical, but does anyone want to see him in the 9th inning right now?
