Bullpen woes

Then he gives up a one-out triple, so I bring in Kimbrel. I get two strikes on Ramirez, but he fouls off a bunch of pitches before singling to right. I get two strikes on Braun, but he fouls off a bunch of pitches before doubling to right. I strike out LeCroy, but then Gomez fouls off a bunch of two-strike pitches before singling to left to drive in the tieing and winning runs. I realize Kimbrel is going to blow a save from time to time, but it just seems to happen to me a bit too often, especially when my starter dominates for eight innings. It should be fun bringing in the best reliever in the game to shut the door, but I almost hate using him now.

just play with the Cubs
