JBJ providing a lot of the offense today. Two important RBI's, even though that's a counting stat. Today it was clutch though.

Blake Swihart is alive. Lol

At this point I kind of want Swihart to start hitting more for trade value than I do in terms of helping our team win games (directly).

Wow, all of the first 3 pitches to Swihart were called wrong by the ump.

Herrera with his worst outing of the year so far.

To say Herrera is wild today is a understatement.

I hope Cora throws in Workman or even Thornburg instead of Kimbrel if the lead extends to more than 3 runs.

I'm ok with Kimbrel here given that we have tomorrow off. I might take my chances with Thornburg vs. the Royals.

Wow Kimbrel's stats look really good. Guy is underappreciated imo.

Kimbrel is getting to much of the plate.

Kimbrel's peripherals seem a lot closer to his sub-par (for him) 2016 than his otherworldly 2017
