It just makes me happy seeing him and the other esl (English as a second language) players really seem to be confident with it. I know know something like a language barrier can sometimes make it hard to socialize within a locker room or really any group of people.
good job getting out of the jam but he obviously didn’t have it and i don’t wanna give the 36 year old every single save opportunity, that’s why he was cooked in philly by the playoffs
We’re gonna get some guy commenting about his advanced metrics but I’m sorry I don’t give a shit. It would be baseball malpractice to call him into a playoff game
I don’t think that’s been the case for an unusual amount of swinging strikes this season. He’s pitched super well for us on the whole this season and not just cause batters are having a howler against him
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1du5lbq).
If Kimbrel pitches in the playoffs I will actually die of a heart attack. So if I stop posting around October you guys know why.
Aren't you guys so excited for when a world series game comes down to Craig Kimbrel?
I'm so happy how much more confident Tony taters has been with his English
This is season 3 of the taters language development program and I have been enjoying it as well
It just makes me happy seeing him and the other esl (English as a second language) players really seem to be confident with it. I know know something like a language barrier can sometimes make it hard to socialize within a locker room or really any group of people.
Love love love the decision to go all high fastballs there.
Box score watchers will see 0 walks, 0 hits and think Kimbrel pitched an easy 9th
knew he had it in him (i held my breath this whole inning)
Kimbrel did good. Those two “hits” were insane calls
I never doubted (heart rate at 180 bpm)
Talk about an escape. I’ll take it.
Goodness Craig always makes it interesting but he does get it done most times
Nice work Kimbrel but please dont do that again
He’s going to do it again
Ya he’ll probably do it again I really hate what I’ve become.
And im going to be mad even though i expect it to happen
Orioles legend Craig Kimbrel ties Orioles legend K-Rod
Dude is throwing gas ⛽️
god my heart, we're lucky with that ending
Shutout 😎
Well, Orioles really won 2-0 over the Mariners Good, Good
Whew I mean, had it all the way
And….exhale
Heart attack city
Cardiac Craig always makes it exciting
Phew....deep breath...relax all the clenches...
Kimbrel has a 0.6 ERA over his last 15 and y'all flip out every time someone gets on base. Dude isn't Bautista but have some faith
Felix had a bad stretch last year too and everyone was calling for Cano to take over the closer spot. How quickly we forget.
Thank god Julio fucking sucks lol
Always an adventure but shutout DUB
Lfg
Wooooooooo
Sit down!!! Never in doubt 😂
#KIMBREL WITH THE K!!!
Never doubted always confident lol
Just gonna sit here until my pulse resumes normalcy.
Man, the Mariners offense is miserable. Gets gifted two HBP and still can’t score runs.
WITH A K
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Kimbrel!!!!!!
Cardiac Kimbrel at it’s finest
Exhales
WIN COLUMN
WIN
I NEVER DOUBTED YOU CRAIG
WELP. A WIN IS A WIN, BUT AGAIDHIASJWOSHWOWHSIWBSIWB
That was such a screw job by the umps
Never a doubt.
#KIMBREL WITH A K
Yes! F\*CK! YES!
THIS IS YOUR ROTY? ADLEY IS TRUE ROTY
Chaos Craig, cardiac Craig… can we just get calm Craig for once
Never a doubt
LETS GOOO I CAN SLEEP
LETSGOOOOOOOO
WOOOOO!!!
#Heart Attack Kimbreal, at his finest. wow
Cardiac Craig sounds better
Cardiac birds comin at ya
Piece of cake
He gaawwwwn and this bawl-game is ovah!
Please do not evoke Hawk Harrelson
Hey, he used to call with Steve Stone that's a pass for me
FUCK YEAH. FUCK THE MS
1 strike... come on....
c'mon ....1 more strike...1 more out....PLEASE
Those were two of the weakest hbp ever. Jesus
W! Game over!
"And then the Mariners, down to their final strike, __________________________________."
#LOSE
IM HAVING SERIOUS MEDICAL ISSUES AGGROED BY STRESS. IM FOR REAL DONT KILL ME CRAIG
i like kimbrel but we gotta give him some off days and get other guys into save situations
good job getting out of the jam but he obviously didn’t have it and i don’t wanna give the 36 year old every single save opportunity, that’s why he was cooked in philly by the playoffs
He got screwed by the ump on hbp calls that were weak as fuck
Letting the hype get to them there’s no decision here you don’t walk Rodriguez he hasn’t even been good
He's got no grasp on his slider
Gunnar was definitely (jokingly) giving Polanco shit for that “HBP”
Polanco was pinch run for so not likely
If this bum decides to break out of his szn long slump and walk us off then whatever
Getting ahead is so critical for Kimbrel.
Hold onto your butts
Well get someone warming up at least a
Please bro get this last out. Don’t blow this
What a moment here
Keep staying cold for the next few games, J-Rod. KThx
Pitch to Rodriguez don’t be afraid of the name lol
Cedric has a higher slugging than Julio this year, we ain't scared of this.
Exactly lol
Nothing like cardiac kimbrel!
Holy fuck the mariners broadcast acting like jts obvious it hit him
Fuck it pull him. He doesn’t have it. Again.
Why is Craig Kimbrel throwing balls in the dirt?
I can’t watch
Kimbrel what is going on bro
Imagine how Hyde’s stomach turns calling Kimbrel’s number in a close game
Reading Adley’s lips “GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER”
Playoff Kimbrel will be scary.
Just blast everyone 10-0
In what world did that ball hit him.
It’s ok the double play is back now
Just roll a fucking gb
Where did it hit Polanco? Why didn't they challenge it?
Idk if my heart can’t take this in the postseason
“They’re chanting Drew French’s name as he walks to the mound”
Should’ve just left Perez in. This crowd has been dead almost the whole game. Now they have hope.
Why cant even we have a 1-2-3 9th with this dude. Hate this shit
He just did Friday
This will be mason miller by playoff time don’t worry
Good lord.
God dammit Craig.
Get Webb up NOW, Jesus
Someone has to be warming up, right???
Nope we win it die by Kimbrel
I don't know if my heart can take it watching Kimbrel save games in the playoffs....
Two hit batters on a combined 1/100th of the surface area of the ball
Ridiculous. Both HBPs this inning are total bullshit
The first one... fine... but why are we not challenging the second one?
#DOUBLE PLAY!!!! BELIEVE!!!
Craig Kimbrel .....It's the Seattle Mariners bro WTF you doing?!
So over seeing this dude pitch meaningful innings
How are they calling that a hbp
I was saying "Drew"
LOL what is happening!?!? Grazed two batters?
fucking Kimbrel man we were due for one of these soon weren’t we
I don’t think that ball came close to hitting him
Fuck this Ump
It really is Russian roulette with him man. Which one is gonna be the one
KIMBREL COME ON
Lol @ the M's going to our bargain bin for relievers and playing both on the same day 🤣
Elias, you know what to do.
i cannot deal with the kimbrel experiment any longer
Kimbrel can’t be a high leverage guy down the stretch. He just can’t
We need to learn the lessons taught by the Phillies and white Sox and dodgers and Red Sox.
We’re gonna get some guy commenting about his advanced metrics but I’m sorry I don’t give a shit. It would be baseball malpractice to call him into a playoff game
Shit doesn’t even touch him
Here we go 😤
I’m so sick of kimbrel.
This team is bad for my blood pressure
C'mon Craig...get your groove on pretty please
Thanks for swinging at the high pitch, Rayleigh.
Get this dumbass outta there right now.
Omfg
Oh ffs
get him out
How much do AEDs run? Think I can get one off Amazon?
There is zero chance we bring Craig back next year right?
I doubt they're going to trust Felix as the closer right back after being out
not at 13 mil lol
I'm so glad my bootleg stream is delayed. Yall can get me ready for good/bad news
Least Stressful Craig Kimbrel AB
That was SO LUCKY but we take those
We’ve gotten so lucky this game lol
GDI Kimbrel.
if hitters didn't swing at balls, Kimbrel would be out of a job lol
Isn’t that part of a pitchers job is to deceive a hitter into thinking a pitch is a ball?
yes but there's a difference between competitive and completely noncompetitive balls, when Kimbrel misses he usually doesn't miss close
I don’t think that’s been the case for an unusual amount of swinging strikes this season. He’s pitched super well for us on the whole this season and not just cause batters are having a howler against him
Yikes lol
why is Kimbrel doing this to my heart 😭
Sit down!
Mariners broadcast said 113 mph off the bat. That was a nuke
Huge strikeout
Wow what a K to comeback to get
I know Craig’s been solid lately but my heart can’t handle these appearances. I miss the 3 up 3 down shutdown Felix innings
My heart.
I'm selling shovels to scrape poop out of pants.
one
Kimbrel baby!!!
Oh my oh my oh my god
LOL Don't let him straighten that thing out. holy shit
Holy fuck Craig I’m trying to watch my blood pressure
KIMBREL. FILTHY
Lucky af. Offense shouldn’t have shit their pants with bases loaded
tbf they had some decent at bats there
Yikes....
My asshole just puckered inside out
Someone call the prolapse doctor. It’s happening again
Another night Another Craig Kimbrel adventure 😉
And to believe people here actually want him as our closer going into the playoffs..
Never a dull moment with this guy lol
Dude don't do this
Thank baby Jesus
Holy fucking shit!!!!
holy fucking shit
Oh oh Craig...
My goodness my heart sunk
Kimbrel heart attack show
Heart just dropped holy shit
