There was zero reason to expect him to regress when he literally put up a 100th percentile xwOBA prior to the acquisition and was probably reliever in baseball with a HoF track record. I agree Hahn overpaid, but can’t fault him for Kimbrel’s absolute collapse since coming over here. Other than Cincy, not many potent offenses in the NL Central. Now Leury just got himself another $1-2 million for 2022, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbrel is much better with a clean situation, no runners on. Plus Sox can still score more with Tim at the plate.

Leury can hit fastballs he can't hit breaking pitches. I had 5 minutes where in 3 straight posts I said "Leury's going to make this a 6-5 game" followed by "This is a move that is so bad it deserves to backfire on Baker" and then exactly that happened. I'm rather proud of my work in this game thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel ya, but get a six run lead here and I think we can all agree to give Kimbrel the 9th ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in a no pressure situation earlier this year and in the offseason the Cubs would have given him away cheap. I wish I was wrong about it and still hope that he can find his groove for 10 more innings or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksnort Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I don't care how many runs the Sox score. I do not think they should leave Kimbrel in. I'd rather Ruiz pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably others, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was closing for the Cubs the first three months when they were in contention a no pressure situation? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
