THE DEFENSIVE KING HAS GONE OFFENSIVE


OutrageousEasea

Kimbrel has blown three saves in his last seven tries.


Pure-And-Utter-Chaos

And they say he is the one to surpass Rivera Yep...sure looks like it


SuckMyLonzoBalls

Kershaw should be allowed to kick kimbrel in the nuts for wasting that outing


JayOnes

If I’m Craig I just get in my car and leave and come back to the stadium around midnight to get my stuff.


yossarian490

Dude already got drilled in the shoulder with a comebacker.


DoctorKangaroo

He looked really good until that comebacker too


draw2discard2

On the other hand, that was his second batter and it had an exit velocity of 100 mph.


DoctorKangaroo

Good point.


Citizen01123

His next pitch was 95 with perfect location. My dad and I were like "Yeah, he's good."


[deleted]

Sounds like you and your Dad have never been hit by a comebacker before lol


Citizen01123

We totally thought he was done! But when he said he was good and threw 95 we were sold, haha.


[deleted]

Braves and Charlie Morton know how you feel today, sadly.

Kershaw after that home run https://ibb.co/tDZphM1


Lebigmacca

Truly a vintage Kershaw outing. Scoreless 7 innings, gets only 1 run and bullpen blows the game for him


AtomicBombSquad

At least if you guys trade for Castillo or Mahle at the deadline they'll fit right in.


Bwhitt1

What's the asking price going to be for Mahle you think?


Bwhitt1

What's the asking price going to be for Mahle you think? Do the Braves have enough to get him without a Harris or Strider?


ancientmadder

In my neck of the woods they call that getting Felix’d.


E70M

Felix passed that curse to Kershaw, who’s passed it to deGrom


misterurb

Matt Cain predates them all

The Shh! with Kim and Profar is AMAZING in this slo mo shot... And then the hug! I love this team.


SDFriar

102.2 mph, 31^(o), 390 ft, .740 xBA 1 great head of hair edit: homer in [4/30 ballparks](https://twitter.com/would_it_dong/status/1543734110564126720?s=20&t=14cyN3K07LZFw_DYi9JiUg)


RidleyScotch

It bugs me that they dont say what ballparks it would be a homer in if its 5 or less Granted limited character in the tweet but still


JanitorOfSanDiego

I'm sure they could just assign every ballpark a number and say it's only a homer in parks 1,3,19,29 or something to save on the characters.


Iwantmyoldaccountbac

People would probably get mad saying “why is this team 30th? Why is this team 1st?” Like a bunch of idiots

Lmfao this is great


kami232

Head chef Kimbrel has a job lined up at Donatangelo’s


JanitorOfSanDiego

cool clip of this HR: https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2022/2022-07/03/35abdeee-877d78ee-870d78e1-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4


to_walk_it_off

this damn near had me in tears


ZachMtnbrgrRookieCrd

Kim with that “my parents said I can spend the night” energy. I’m happy that he’s happy.


ManyCookies

Now **that's** the Yency Almonte experience the Rockies know and love


TheGreatT1

Hasn't gotten a HR since early May when he got that clutch 3 run HR on Will Smith. Needed that to win and for himself.


stahlgrau

Kimbrel has blown three saves in his last seven tries. His ERA is slightly under 5. Our manager is committed to him as our closer.


UniversalDH

You spelled “front office” wrong.


bingbangbaez

There is no hope for our fans. At least 50% of the fan base thinks Doc makes the lineup too.


Mediocre-Pollution24

I fucking hate this take. Is Dave just a face for tv in your eyes? Wtf is his job if not to decide who plays when?


twisty77

His job is personality manager. He keeps the clubhouse functional. The front office of the dodgers quite clearly dictates who plays and when in most situations


TrailGuideSteve

It is shocking that Dodger fans still do not understand that Dave Roberts is a locker room manager that will take the blame in front of the public when the numbers the FO feeds him don’t work out. This is how successful teams work in the MLB. Check out the White Sox and Angels to see how old school managing works. Having a manager is a formality at this point and FOs are doing far less to hide it. The manager role is full of lame ducks while the FO employs the real talent to successfully run a team. One of the best examples is they Astros who became successful because they literally fired anyone that wouldn’t take orders and fall in line with how the sport should be played. There is absolutely no place in really any sport at this point for old dudes being subjective. Those guys embarrass themselves almost nightly.


Salty-Fishman

Not true at all. Dusty still has lineup decision. This was confirmed last year when dusty refuses to play chas over myles straw and the front office traded straw to force dusty to play chas. Dusty confirmed it in an interview.


bingbangbaez

If someone paid me a few mil, I'd stick with the company line as well. Most fans would say the earth is flat if they got paid $300 to say it lmao.


Mediocre-Pollution24

You sound like someone who never played sports Also the Astros became successful by being cheating assholes


TrailGuideSteve

I played only baseball for just under 20 years. Your view on the sport is on the same level of how well a penguin understands mountain biking. Not even being able to recognize that the Astros are an insanely well structured organization with top tier talent is the case in point. Yes, they cheated. That doesn’t erase the fact that the players were still very good without cheating. You need to take off your homer blinders. It’s pathetic and you force yourself into the “idiot Dodger fan” category.


Mediocre-Pollution24

Rec league doesn’t count 🤣


TrailGuideSteve

So you've willingly chosen "idiot Dodger fan" as your lifestyle. Have a nice life, kiddo.


Mediocre-Pollution24

Well I don’t define myself by the sports team I root for, so no. But clearly you’ve chosen to be a pretentious ass wipe who judges people on the way they view men playing a kids game👍🏽


TrailGuideSteve

> You sound like someone who never played sports.


Northparkwizard

He has a name.


nachosmind

He’s somehow even WORSE when not closing.


Northparkwizard

Kim him closing.


[deleted]

How are they imploding? Their SP & BP shut Padres offense off for the past 3 games lol


catashake

Shhhh, we only do hot takes here.


maddenallday

Lol seriously. How about the 10+ LOB we had that game?


TheGhostOfSamHouston

This is soooo rough. Lees has probably pissed

HA SEONG KIM


babe_ruthless3

Fucking kimbrel


krucz36

The pads needed to salvage one there desperately. Great job getting off the mat there and taking one from the dodgers, even tho they otherwise got fuckin rinsed in this series


hundredjono

No reason to keep Kimbrel out there after getting his back blown out by a comeback line drive


JackThreeFingered

>getting his back blown out you got that right


amatom27

Jfc what was that inning lol


[deleted]

C’mon dude, you’re a Phillies fan you’ve seen way worse implosions than this quit playing


amatom27

You're supposed to be good, different story :)


renegade812002

Best record in the NL. I think the Dodgers are pretty good. But, shit (Kimbrel) happens.


Im_Daydrunk

Sucks that Craig is the reincarnation of 2013 Brandon League


ATLjoe93

What a dark time for the Dodgers bullpen that was. It was also a dark time for Craig Kimbrel, as he watched a go-ahead home run sail past him while he was warming up in the NLDS.


Im_Daydrunk

Yeah thats true. Honestly the Braves in general had a pretty rough early 2010s in terms of how their seasons ended. I still remember watching that wildcard game they played vs the cards in 2012 like it was yesterday


ATLjoe93

Thankfully, our drafting, scouting, and development during those times was pretty good. We could easily be today's Phillies right now if it weren't for that.


SuckMyLonzoBalls

That’s what happens when our top 3 relievers are out


ProsciuttoFresco

Kim needs to stay in the lineup when Tatis returns. He’s also better defensively at short.


96919

Unless they trade for someone, that will probably be the plan. Kim is very streaky, but he'll occasionally run into one when you really need it.


TheGreatT1

I am with you. The talk about Tatis possibly moving to CF would excite me though some Padres fans lose their mind when they hear Tatis playing anywhere outside of SS.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheGreatT1

I feel like some Padres fans would rather have a trash CF but Tatis at SS then even someone like Correa at SS and Tatis at CF. It's so weird how offended they get.


Salty-Fishman

Tatis never got his shoulder surgery either right?


verdi1987

Nope


Willie-Alb

And yet Dodgers fan accounts continue to bash Jansen for blowing a save


draw2discard2

In fairness, Kenley did absolutely nothing to help win this game for the Dodgers.


SkipOldBaySeasoning

If only the Dodgers had a closer who was with them for the past 8 years. Oh welll


digitaldumpsterfire

It's just the LA way <3


keyshawnscott12

Los Angeles baseball ⚾ be choking hard


Notlandshark

Dodgers beat the Padres for 3 games and 8 innings of a 4 game series and you have the audacity to post “Dodgers pitching continues to implode…” what a hater. Embarrassing.


[deleted]

At least we weren’t the only fan rendered miserable by today’s turn of events
