IST: Cubs at Reds (First road trip of the year)

[TL1961]

Nobody swings at his stuff.

 

[TL1961]

Nobody up in the pen

 

[zack54attack]

Goodness. This is brutal to watch.

 

[TL1961]

How many walks and hit batters in 3 1/3?

 

[TL1961]

Ball 2 has been a strike all night.

And nobody is swinging at this shit.

 

[wonky73]

Kimbrel is utter garbage and so is the rest of the bullpen. Gonna need some serious help

 

[jooo83]

Kimbrel is trash.

 

[SilenceS]

He lacks any confidence he use to have and it shows. He has no idea where it is going and doesnt trust his stuff in the zone.

 

[Jack Lantern]

First managing mistake by Ross on the young season. Left him in way too long.

 

[zack54attack]

Cut this bum. He's TOAST.

 

[TL1961]

Good time to change the strike zone!

 

[TL1961]

They don't have a hit in the 9th.

carry over from last year. These are literally batting practice swings opponents took off him. I'd probably lose confidence in my stuff too, hah

 

[TL1961]

Piece of cake!

No hitter in the ninth!

WTF?????

 

[SilenceS]

Cubs Win! I dont know how, but they won. Bullpen did everything possible to collapse

 

[TL1961]

4 walks and a HBP in the ninth.....after I posted 4 walks and a HBP in 3 1/3 by the pen.

Throw strikes. Holy crap.

And that was with a guy striking out on ball four.

 

[Jack Lantern]

CUBS WIN! Found a new closer!!

Kimbrel experiment is over. He is relegated to mop up duty the rest of the way

 

[TL1961]

Cubs Win! I dont know how, but they won. Bullpen did everything possible to collapse

Unbelievable how much help...we also had two errors.

 

[zack54attack]

Whew. Ervin won them that game.. swung at ball 4.

 

[Jack Lantern]

Unbelievable how much help...we also had two errors.

short season, every game is HUGE. Can't force feed Kimbrel in the 9th in the hopes he figures it out. Got to move on like Ryan Pace did with Shaheen.
