Kimbrel -- like all good relievers -- is overdue for a heartbreaking blown save.
It will happen at some point, perhaps today.
The world will not end.
Kimbrel is still good.
Not tonight ,brutha!

Ball barely cleared the wall - if the CF had played it better, might have caught it

C'est la vie

That's easily a Top 3 win this season.

Wow.

If they can pull a weekend split, incredible end to the first half.
Even if they can't, it will be hard to pessimistic. (though that's what we do)

Schwarber would have caught it.

I agree. And the platoon should be with Marsh, for now.
Schwarber is actually stronger vs. lefties than righties.

Kimbrel legitimately had an All-Star first half. He earned it.
But I'm not sad about the rest his arm will get.

As a kid, I liked the All-Star Game.
As an adult, I like October.
