Poor Suarez.

You don’t throw a guy two days in a row if you can avoid it. My vote is for letting Suarez finish the inning.

Hyde should have known as soon as he brought in Perez, Cash would bring in a pinch hitter and nullify the move.

So Hyde took out a guy who was crusing and still 14 pitches under his limit, brought in a guy who wasn’t throwing well and tired to boot, in an attempt to benefit from a matchup that everyone except Hyde himself knew wasn’t going to happen.

Is that where we are now?  Two days in a row is too taxing.  LOL

Pitcher indifference

Pitcher sucks.

Now I see why McCann is the starting catcher.

Why is Kimbrel still in the game? We should have had a RHP ready

If you need a guy up and ready when Kimbrel enters a game, Kimbrel needs to go.

[Jagwar]

What are the odds Kimbrel only gives up 1 run?

[O-The-Memories]

He's given up one single all inning. Unbelievable. Rutschman and Kimbrel have now given up four stolen bases. 

[HowAboutThat]

This is what I mean. Hyde made an unnecessary move to set up a match up that he should have known would never happen, and now we are losing. Hyde needs to go.

And four stolen bases in the inning? Why is this happening? Do the coaches try to advise on this stuff and the guys just ignore them?

[Moose Milligan]

Get a run you chumps

I'm already having nightmares about this pen in the playoffs.

According to half this board, there won’t be playoffs.

[Jagwar]

I will not be surprised if Kimbrel is released at some point

Here comes the triple steal

It honestly would not surprised me. Kimbrel could afford to not worry about guys stealing when he didn't allow that many runners on and struck everyone out.

Just take everything out before the comma. 

[Roy Firestone]

Too late, Kimbrel. You didnt do your job...this is why he rarely pitches in high leverage situations.

[Just Regular]

Alright, let's get Craig Kimbrel a WIN!
