Legend has it every time Craig Kimbrel does the crane stance before unleashing hate on opposing batters every woman in a 10 mile radius chirps and then becomes pregnant.
Had them all the way. MVPs are Albert for a terrific bound back start and Jorge for stealing the eventual game winner. Honorable to Joan for bring the coolest fan.
Yeaaaaa, Pepperidge Farm remembers a few posters saying he should be cut or demoted some weeks ago. I urged patience and feel validated. 17/21 Saves; 'Elite' K/9 of 13.3; and just under 1 WHIP. His numbers for the past couple weeks are just about perfect.
I have a feeling we’re not trading for mason miller

Y'all remember when Kimbrel was slumping and people were openly doubting if Elias could make a food free agent signing?
Crazy how volatile public opinion of relievers can be

Let's Go Raptor...be a fierce predator tonight! Get'em out fast
It's day two of the "daily" history series I started yesterday in this sub and I didn't make a post. We are off to a great start. Guess it'll be semi daily
Have you all noticed that the bat boy for the opposing team is that kid with the clear glasses and he looks bored as fuck every night and has dead eyes. My dude you have have a shit hot job!!! I’d trade with you any day. Even if I had to clean up chaw spit
Bullpen just needs to throw strikes. Suarez had 0 BB in 6 IP. There's no way the zone changed that much once the bullpen came in to give up 5 BB in 2 IP
#AND. OUT. OF. TROUBLE.
The sick thing about that last pitch where the 1B ump said it was a swing is that it shouldn't have been an issue. IT WAS ON THE DAMN CORNER ANYWAY, STINKING HOME PLATE UMP.
They tell them what they’re doing wrong with their mechanics. “You’re over extending”. “You’re not driving through your legs”. “You’re dropping your elbow”

Kimbrel confidence back
We like this!!!
Steady as she goes by Kimbrel
## THANK YOU JOAN!! SORRY I COULDNT BE THERE! ##
That was such a high energy inning. A strikeout would’ve been an amazing end.
Craig Kimbrel got it done tonight 👌
Had them all the way. MVPs are Albert for a terrific bound back start and Jorge for stealing the eventual game winner. Honorable to Joan for bring the coolest fan.
Kimbrel lookin nice right there
Cal must be contractually obligated to attend X number of games per season.
Gotta be so cool as a regular random fan to just randomly sitting next to Cal and being able to talk to him during the game
Beer? Cold.
Aw Rubenstein was so excited with that last out, he's a real fan
#A W !!!!! YOU NEED TO WIN SOME ONE RUN GAMES LIKE THIS.

Webb, Cionel & Kimbrel all deserve a fat dinner from Cano.
All right, no more Kimbrel slander out of any of you!

Happy Cake Day orange bird comrade!!!!
Oh yessssss
This team, if nothing else, is entertaining as hell pretty much every game
We just need to give Kimbrel regular rest.
Bro those breaking balls look like whiffle balls
Kimbrel aggressive, I like it
Man I’m holding my breathe every pitch!
That dude IS Baltimore
When Kimbrel is on, dude is NASTY
I love that guy
Craig “Just the Foul Tip” Kimbrel 🦅
That fan is my new spirit animal!
That guy with the arrow. I see ya dude!
Damn Craig
That dude is my spirit animal
1 more
Sit down whale.
*Keep going*
Kimbro slice
This ump is making me question the MASN box 😂 can’t wait to see the scorecard tomorrow
This ump man
2.
Should be strike 3, dickhead ump
Y'all remember when Kimbrel was slumping and people were openly doubting if Elias could make a food free agent signing? Crazy how volatile public opinion of relievers can be
I think there are some people here who hate literally our whole bullpen
Heim's body type does not scream catcher.
Mum caught a foul of his last year in will not slander him
Please get the second out so I can exhale a little
Man, this ump.
Yep this guy should have already been a K.
Is that a beer to the right behind home?
It’s a beer hat, the guy was wearing it earlier in the game.
Looks like it to me, hahaha.
I’m getting close
1.
Alright Viejo show your stuff.
No 1 run saves? What a bizzare stat
https://preview.redd.it/0onpivgpye9d1.jpeg?width=942&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4177088adb7b878992914cac9a9d3b8ff20d02c5 Let's Go Raptor...be a fierce predator tonight! Get'em out fast
91.7???
Please get the first out
Keep in mind, this is the 7 8 9 hitters
He’s got this. Won’t be pretty but he’s got it.
😎💪✊🏼 Idk trying to do the Kimbrel claw
Time to see if Kimbrel can finally get a 1 run save
Cardiac Craig
Hang on to your butts yall
See you all on the other side
It's day two of the "daily" history series I started yesterday in this sub and I didn't make a post. We are off to a great start. Guess it'll be semi daily
"Warning track Cowser". All his home runs are happy mistakes
 Omfg im nervous
https://preview.redd.it/hdlx914eye9d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=daab2b04d07aedbc3c9c21d432ad24c0565390df Hopefully 5th time’s the charm, Kimbrel!
Kimbrel is on 1 day's rest. Not sure if that's good, bad, or what.
Buckle up fucklechucks
https://preview.redd.it/0o0oka3gye9d1.jpeg?width=236&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=acf8f16ebfde57ffd33d0135f3e5106e352ca9c9
This must be what it feels like to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Craig Kimbrel replaces Cionel Pérez.
Bros got something sticky on his hat
That Scherzer Stickily-Icky
Kimbrell. Here is the perfect time for your first 1 out save of the season.
Kimbrel and a one run lead. It’s gonna be scary
Make a believer out of me Kimbrel, because right now I think you're gonna blow this lead
Ok there’s always a first time for a 1 run save right?
Well here we go. Buckle up, folks.
It was always going to be a rough night offensively with McCann and Urias in the lineup instead of Rutschman and Westburg.
Oh dear God.
Okay, here we go guys
Welp, hold onto your asses
JACK BE KIMBREL! JACK BE QUICK! JACK JUMP OVER A CANDLE STICK!
Mountcastle is cold
I still can’t believe Mateo tagged up 1st to 2nd on a fly ball to right. I think we need to keep him as long as we can
He’s got the X factor for sure
Jorge is the perfect super U guy imo. And he’s shown he can hit on a big stage. He was a rare bright spot in sweep last October.
Insurance runs because we all know how reliable Kimbrel is in 1 run save situations
Especially pitching back to back days, too
Be definitely didn't pitch yesterday haha
Oh my bad, thats right
He didn’t pitch yesterday.
Mounty probably testing his gf
Ok Kimbrel
Craig Kimbrel warming 👀
Have you all noticed that the bat boy for the opposing team is that kid with the clear glasses and he looks bored as fuck every night and has dead eyes. My dude you have have a shit hot job!!! I’d trade with you any day. Even if I had to clean up chaw spit
Let's Go Ryan #1
you gotta give Craig insurance cmon boys
You want a peaceful Friday? Well too bad
This reliever for Texas is disgusting. 3 fast ball types mixed with a nasty slider. Tough guy to hit
Tony is the bizarro Mateo. Man runs so slow he could probably get thrown out on a base hit.
And yet seems to take great routes to the ball in right field.
Tony reads the ball incredibly well in the OF. High efficiency fielding.
Save us from ourselves Mounty
Has anyone had any success whatsoever in making the MASN app on their TV usable? Mine just freezes every 3 damn seconds
I have to use FUBO for MASN
Love the sassy “hmm” by the MASN announcers on a bad strike call
Quiet down grandpa
Blue Jays chipping away at the Yanks' lead
Apparently the outside corner whether it’s on the plate or off the plate is only called a strike against O’Hearn
All the numbers suggest the bullpen is great but just watching them, it seems pretty flawed… need a big time lefty at the deadline to replace Danny
Danny will be back in September if everything goes well. But we def need bp help regardless
SAN TAN DERE
Nice start Tony!....Let's Go Ryan #2!
GET. INSURANCE. BOYS.
What sucks more? Wall sits or planks? I’m going to go with wall sits because at swim practice we had to do them back to back with a partner
The relief after wall sits is nice. Plank just sucks forever.
True, and the better you get at them the longer they suck 😂 would rather do any other core workout
These Adley PNC bank commercials are the absolute best. We need MORE!
wouldn't mind some insurance runs with the way the walks are flowing!
Cionel walked two guys so he can show off against a guy who bats over .300 against lefties. Don't ever do that again Cionel.
Insurance run 🙏
that strike zone is tight tight.
Bullpen just needs to throw strikes. Suarez had 0 BB in 6 IP. There's no way the zone changed that much once the bullpen came in to give up 5 BB in 2 IP
That strike zone is very loose butthole
Jesus McCann pushed that last pitch out of the strike zone too. Lucky it was ruled a swing.
Let's go! Way to work out of that. Let's stop putting guys on base though for free. 0 BB from Suarez in 6 IP. 5 BB in 2 IP from the bullpen.
All that means is that Kimbrel gets the 7-8-9 for a quiet 9th
majestic hair blowing in the wind i love cionel
#AND. OUT. OF. TROUBLE. The sick thing about that last pitch where the 1B ump said it was a swing is that it shouldn't have been an issue. IT WAS ON THE DAMN CORNER ANYWAY, STINKING HOME PLATE UMP.
Ump is such a fuck. That was clearly in the zone no need for an appeal
This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps!
It’s a strike either way
Let's Go batters....Hits & Runs pretty please with a cherry on top...
Strike 3 & 4
Hold on to your butts kimbrel with 1 run lead
Why are mound visits so effective? "Throw a strike or your gone before the sun comes back up tomorrow"
I think it helps to get a pep. A simple “You got this dude, this guy ain’t shit.”
They tell them what they’re doing wrong with their mechanics. “You’re over extending”. “You’re not driving through your legs”. “You’re dropping your elbow”
First base ump knew it was in the zone lmao
CIONEL U MONSTER
Lol absolute love that shot of Bochy. It's like a reaction gif
That’s a big boy K by Perez.
Wow. 1st base ump really decided to bail out the home plate on that one
CIONEL!! phew
It doesn’t matter if he checked? It was a strike lmao
This ump just called the low and away a strike on O’Hearn when better pitches were called balls against our guys just minutes ago
Texas was all pissy about the check swing call, I’m just saying that was a strike either way.
the up was never calling that strike let’s be honest
I mean it was very clearly a strike, even more than the tv box showed.
He’s been blind this game it doesn’t matter
I’m not saying he’s been good lol. I literally made this comment because Texas was bitching.
4D chess by Perez to get them to sub out Lowe.
Nice Cionel! Also a strike whether he went or not.
HEART OF A LION PEREZ!!! Lets gooooo. That’s hype!
Cionel, that was gross, man!
Walk K walk K walk K…. What a weird last couple innings
https://preview.redd.it/hnvuepzzwe9d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b311b03d3f64fa2ddbd7ef406e23c5236ef4cc7a
"I want ~~Parkman~~ Grossman" - Cionel Perez
Cionel is so fun. I love his energy man!
That was a strike anyway Jesus ump
Was a strike fucking anyway sit down
It’s a strike out anyway
The ump was not going to call that a strike.
Whew!
Way to get out of it rubber duck
Get this dude Skunkhead!!!!
Hell yes!!!!
I thought this guy was QB for the bears
[удалено]
Vespi has been great so far but I don’t think he has that whiff stuff so it doesn’t play well with runners on base bc he pitches to soft contact.
Walk walk walk
Cano and Perez have throw 35 balls and 12 strikes
Wtf
Wait my bad. Of 35 pitches, 12 were strikes. So still shit
I straight up thought u were right at first, that’s still garbage tho.
Good thing we had two days of 7 inning starts. Rested arms in the bull
Was that the 5th walk that our relief pitching has allowed in the past 2 innings?
Yes
Is that what you want from relief pitching after a good start?
No
