Probably for the best that we just get this one over with, we are literally out of relievers other than Dominguez. Kimbrel should just be released. Father time comes for us all and he has come for Kimbrel. 

Nah they will keep rolling him out there in pivitol games. He will cost them at least 2 Or 3 more losses this year.

Did anyone notice that while they were checking out Urias, Jimenez finally finished rounding the bases?

Lol on Hyde bringing in Kimbrel in a tie game. You deserve this loss.

Get Kimbrel off this team. Elias could have had Jorge Lopez for nothing and we are giving innings to a guy who can barely get it over 90 and not routinely to the strike zone.

Also don't unnecessarily burn through your bullpen to put yourself in a position where you have to pitch Kimbrel in the eighth inning of a tie game. I know the bullpen is lacking in talent, but I don't like the bullpen management.

Hyde goes through relievers like it's game seven of the World Series multiple times a week.

This is the most mind boggling move of the day to me when you are dealing with a short bullpen.  Akon should have gone at least another inning. 

Hyde is trying to keep the pitch count down on these guys so he has somebody available tomorrow.

This team makes me aggro. I think it’s all the dark years, followed by the last two years. I  have—what do the French call it?—expectations.

Yeah, same for me.  Not how the universe works but feels like the team has built up some serious karmic debt.  And I want to be paid.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By milbest77 · Posted

      I have to think something is going on behind the scenes. They look like they have just quit. Hyperbole, I know, but I wonder if there is anxiety over new ownership wanting their own people in the FO? Before you all tear me apart, IT’S JUST AN OBSERVATION!

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Some don’t like this quote from Hyde but this kind of goes back to what the hitting coaches are saying. The coaches (if we are to believe them) are preparing these guys but once they get in the box, things are changing. This is all mental with these guys. It is time for them to relax and start having fun again. They need a players only team meeting and get themselves loosened up.

      Elias taking accountability

      I doubt it is normal, though I’m sure that well more than half the pitchers who pitch for any particular team were not drafted by that team.   Teams use so many pitchers these days, and there are so many pitchers who cycle around the league off the waiver wire.

      Elias taking accountability

      By wildcard · Posted

      Couple of things about what Mike said: 1).   Grayson will not start during the regular season.    Time has run out to build him up.   That means Burnes, Eflin. Suarez, Kremer and Povich the rest of the way if they can stay healthy.   Maybe Grayson as an opener or a reliever in the playoffs. Coulombe  as early as Friday.  I am guess either Smith or Kimbrel go. Westy and  Urias  on rehab  in the next few days.   Getting these guys back could be a  big mental boost for the team.  What level of performance they will be able to produce coming off a layoff is another things.      I would think Mayo and Holliday are optioned. Mountcastle is swinging but his wrist is still sore.   Where that goes in anyones guess.   If he comes back Jimenez will not be needed. 2).  When Mike says this has been a winning team for that last two years and he believes they can get back to that,  to me he is not just talking about the team.     He is talking about himself.    This is the first time Mike has experienced things not going the way he planned to this degree.    Quite frankly his looks a little shell shocked.    The pitching having troubles with injuries is reality to him.  Pitchers get hurt.    But his offense going from 5 runs per game in the first half  to almost zero is shocking to him.   He did not see that coming.  Adley, and O'Hearn were supposed to step up when needed.   Instead they took a step back.  None of Holliday, Mayo, or Kjerstad being able to help in the 2nd half was not the way this was planned.    Here is hoping the Westy, Urias and Kjerstad can help real soon.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By Sanfran327 · Posted

      This board is smart enough to realize that the grass isn't always greener. The only way I see Hyde on the hot seat is if we miss the playoffs completely, which still feels very unlikely. Even then, I doubt he'd be fired during the offseason, but maybe. But then what? I don't think you give Buck Britton a shot at this roster. He's doing his thing and doing it well at AAA helping to develop guys. Could bring back Buck Showalter or Joe Girrardi, those sound like fun names. Or better yet, I bet everyone here with a torch and a pitchfork has their own little crystal ball with a short list of candidates ready to catch lightning in a bottle.

      The 4-run deficit was surmountable if we had more than one player who can hit the damn ball.   Kimbrel giving up six runs in the 9th may turn out to be a blessing.
