Problem with the Kimbrel deal was that we did not really need him. We already had Hendricks plus Kopech,Bummer, crochet and had acquired Tepera. Second problem was that we grossly overpaid for CK when we could have used resources instead to obtain the RF that we sorely needed. The Kimbrel trade was the Quintana trade in reverse.
Great for Billy. Wish we do more running going forward. Steal a run here and there, move the runners over to scoring position, hit and run to avoid double plays and pressure the defense, open holes in the infield.
But not a smart pitch to Jose Ramirez, a notorious fastball slugger and Sox killer. I think didn’t intend to throw a middle middle fastball, he just missed his location. He would have been better served with a pitch out of the zone.
That moniker Guardians really sucks. It is pity to throw away the legacy, albeit at times crappy, and the long history of the Indians for some PC consideration.
