Kenley got a lot of shit from this board, myself included. But I don't remember him ever having an ERA over 4, let alone over 5.
When the dodgers do lose, they sure pick the most annoying ways possible. The Muncy error, the 1-0 loss to Washington, and tonight. Sheesh
pirates acting like they made the playoffs lol guess kimbrel is going to be a painful closer isn't he?
Kimbrel sucks ass. I would take Kenley back without even a thought in the world. His stuff is complete shit. He ain't throwing 98 anymore, his fastball is now 95 and straight as an arrow and his curve is good but his command is overall complete shit. Freddie is a trash defender. Pirates manager is a fucking psycho who has no business being a major league manager. Selling out for a win in May because its the Dodgers. Fucking loser. Their closer had no business seeing the ninth inning, He throws 50 total pitches. Completely unheard of.
The lack of command is real concerning. Has he ever had an 0-2 count? Could be a 4 run lead with nobody on base and he’s in a 3-2 count and probably going to walk the batter.
His defense has been shit all year, it just hasn't mattered until now. He sucks at fielding and sucks at picking throws
Faced the bottom of a shitty lineup and still couldn't get it done. Walked the fucking #8 hitter and gave up the game tying hit to the #9 hitter sporting a .098 avg. He's had the cushion of two to three run leads in most of his outings, so giving up a run or two hasn't hurt. This version of Kimbrel isn't a World Series caliber closer. Get well soon Treinen.
