He's finally back,
to kick some tail!
And this time,
he's goin' to jail!
I don't think Kimbrel is washed or anything, but I think nights like tonight where he doesn't have it and gets pulled before the lead actually gets blown for Cano or Coloumbe are going to be a lot more common as we go on. It doesn't take very long to see which version of Dirty Craig you're getting in an outing.

Nothing about my post doesn't apply to this year. He's a day away from striking out 3 in an inning. Maybe the actual bad person is the manager/pitching coach that used 35 year old Kimbrel on no rest??? And it's funny, because Philly fans acted like he was abysmal too, but every time you'd look, he'd be doing just fine.

Kimbrel was legit good the first half but pretty obviously ran out of gas at the end of the year to everyone except Rob Thomson

I always argue that managers do matter, then Joe Girardi talks and I remember he managed a world series winning team and concede that managers, in fact, don't matter (unless they're Craig Counsell and he's making horrible choices)
