Giving up homers to homophobes. This team is a joke.

Hyde clearly said he had about 8-10 pitches left and didn’t want to have to bring Soto in if there was a guy or two on.  

Great

[HowAboutThat]

Well, I came back from my walk in invigorated because we had come back to 8–6, and then they brought in Craig and now it’s 11 to 6.

I have never advocated big contracts to old players. I was perfectly fine with letting Nelson Cruz walk in 2015. I would’ve missed that, no doubt, but I would’ve also avoided big stupid contracts to Ubaldo, and Davis, and Trumbo, and I would not have signed Craig Kimbrel  because he is….well. In 42 innings he’s given up 6 home runs? 
(sigh)

too late now…

Cano pitching with a 4-run lead was even weirder to me.

At the time I was thinking it might be a good spot to get Kimbrel in, now I'm not so sure

[Uli2001]

What's the point of even having Kimbrel on the roster anymore? He can't close, he can't pitch from ahead, he can't pitch from behind. I think the guy is just begging to be cut at this time.

McCann can't even go pitch with Adley's bad back.

We burned O'Hearn with the early Eloy switch.

I'll guess Livan Soto has a liver arm than Austin Slater.

Not nice to say about Burnes, man

[baltfan]

Kimbrel is going to hit someone.

I know we are paying him a s***load of money but isn’t it time for the organization to be honest with themselves and cut him loose.  He is of no value whatsoever.  He’s just using up a roster spot. 
 

Mistakes happen.   Just admit it and move forward 

Can't do that, some other team will pick him up and what if he does good?

No more excuses for Kimbrel, please.

Kimbrel is like the Goldilocks of closers.   Too little rest is bad.  Too much rest is bad.  He needs the amount of rest that is just right,

He had his Hall Of Fame career, now he is washed up, as long as teams keep giving him 13mil he ain't retiring. Kimbrel was another Elias mistake along with Rogers.

I’m ready to see some double and triple A guys instead of Kimbrel/ Baker.

[Just Regular]

Yennier Cano with a lower number of career Saves - think of how many fewer Arb dollars he will command.
