Exactly. Hyde did the same last time.

He gave up a 2R homer the last time.

Kimbrel is living the edge of the strike zone.

Maybe they are factoring in things we don't know. Burnes was at 85 pitches. And they said they are trying ways to get Kimbrel back on track.

So far, so good.

[Aristotelian]

Knock on wood, Kimbrel looking good so far

Yeah, I think Hyde is counting on IKF, Craig Biggio’s kid, and a dude named Ernie tagging Kimbrel with the runs to cash his bet against us.

This would make more sense if Kimbrel had been throwing strikes lately. Any batter can watch balls go by. 
 

Doesnt look like we got that Kimbrel today but that doesn’t make the decision any less stupid.

Good inning although that pitch was a mistake. 

[OHearn4Prez]

Our manager makes no sense. Your ace is only at 85 pitches and apparently he doesn’t believe he can over work his closer if he uses him during a different inning? Pitching 4 of 6 games, regardless of results here, is still over using him.

[OriolesMagic83]

It's like I want Kimbrel to do good but not too good.  If he's too good, Hyde will promote him to lone closer and he will implode. 

[Malike]

Glad they are letting Kimbrel work it out on the mound. They are going to need him this year.

[Roy Firestone]

Thats all for Kimbrel...nice job...

Need 9 outs. Rather use him vs bottom of order. 
 

DC was probably up for Varsho.

Not every move works for Hyde, but it mostly does. He's our best manager since 2014.

7th inning in his last start, gave up a 2R HR to the Gnats and we lost the game.
