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. 

It helped that Kimbrel was facing 7-8-9 in Toronto's order.  That wouldn't have went well against the heart of their order against a  better offense.  I'm going to be expecting a disaster whenever Kimbrel pitches for a while.  I just feels like he's getting lucky, more than good.

Wanted a RHP for that part of order. Webb and Cano for later.

Wow I thought Chapman was good at 3rd base but his replacement looks impressive too.

Boy our offense blows tonight...so lucky to lead in this game

Good point. Too bad he didn’t have a RHP pitcher already in the game. My bad.

A monday in early-mid May too, on a school night. 

This is good news. And a good trend. Fan support will improve the odds of keeping/acquiring the best players.

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

I thought the post was talking about Kimbrel...although I forgot his appearance in extras. His first appearance after being demoted was in medium leverage vs 8-9-1 similar to this situation.

Westy take this bum downtown.

Oh, I thought you were talking about taking Burnes out.

The story is why Burnes came out. 
 

That said if you were going to yank him Kimbrel made sense unless it was DC.
