My dad is just now getting back into baseball this year after a long sabbatical [1]. I was explaining to him that Kimbrel is probably the best closer in the game, but of course the first time he saw Kimbrel pitch was a blown save. And then just about every time he's seen Kimbrel pitch after that, there's at least been a couple of walks. It seemed like very time Kimbrel would have a bad inning, I'd get an angry text from my dad. I don't think he's seen Kimbrel throw a 1-2-3 inning all year.
So yeah, he was walking the floor last night in the 9th.
[1] He is a lifelong fan who quit the sport in disgust after, of all things, Kevin Brown's contract.
