Kimbrel has been awful, but I certainly want him out there being potentially awful over the rest of the dreck that is Hembree/Kelly/Workman. I have zero faith in any of those guys throwing a useful inning, but if you can use a THREE RUN LEAD to perhaps give your most filthy pitcher a chance to work through whatever his issue is, I think you should do that. Clearly, he still doesn't have it, but I'll take that over the chance that Kelly, Hembree or Workman instantly figure it out after several hundred batters' worth each of data pointing to the unlikelihood of this.

I don't recall how I found out about this place (either through SoSH or one of the popular blogs at the time I guess), but I do recall Pedroia being the first guy I was all-in on from the get-go (or maybe it was Luis Soto) so that must have been in the first year or two of the site. Are there backups of the older forums anywhere besides archive.org?
Congrats on 15 years and here's to 15 more when we look at Mookie Betts, his impending retirement and who started that first Mookie Betts thread way back when.

Eduardo Nunez and David Price can no longer hurt me.

I want to know what Cora was doing with Price. The bases are loaded, Bregman is up. Price is in the bullpen warmed up. Tying run on second and a single probably ties it. At what point is Price coming in? And if he's not coming in, why are we wasting his arm getting warmed up?

I was just reading about Melatonin and how people take 30x too much. Just a heads up if you take it and feel groggy for like 36 hours after like I do. 300 mcg is proper dosage and most OTC pills are 10mg. Thanks for the heads up. I've got my fingers down my throat... No need, Kimbrel won't have to pitch until tomorrow.

Damn, the more I watch this play the more it's obvious Mookie isn't even close to being beyond the wall. Of course Gary Sheffield, professional Nyquil drinker, sees the opposite.

Melatonin...just took one. I took some of that and valerian root also. Still won't be able to. I was just reading about Melatonin and how people take 30x too much. Just a heads up if you take it and feel groggy for like 36 hours after like I do. 300 mcg is proper dosage and most OTC pills are 10mg.

Kimbrel and Barnes switch roles.And tough tacos if Craig's feelings are hurt.You KNOW Hembree wouldn't have produced that much drama. Agreed, Hembree gives up 3 bombs and the game is over in favor of the Astros.

WTF. That one catch is the difference between 2-2 and 3-1. Friendly reminder that Tony Mazz wanted to trade him for Machado midseason.

lmao what a stupid catch to attempt. Literally a 2.0 WPA decision.

Kimbrel had it all the way, you layabouts. Easy game.

Like, what is Price up in the pen for? Are you going to bring him in or just have him waste throws in the bullpen? This is not a suggestion you bring him in, but what is the thought process? Tenth inning?

I don't want Price in this game, but I also don't get they are having him warm up. At what point is he going to come in?
Wow, GIFT strike by the ump. 3-2. Fuck me.

What a joke Kemp is. This game would be nuts right now if he didn't get thrown out for no reason.

Ok, had a mini heart attack. Now I can have a real one when Kimbrel walks Kemp.

Is he really bringing in Price right now? There's no way.

Why the hell was Price warming up then? Just to waste him a little.

Imagine having such filthy stuff and refusing to throw it over the plate. He's like the opposite of Rick Porcello.

Baller player by the former Red Sox. That's at least 2 runs. Maybe four if it gets by him.
