Kimbrel time!!! Hoping for 9 pitch inning with 3 strikeouts here.

In order to limit his pitches, lets intentionally walk the first two, then get the 3rd guy to ground into a triple play on the first pitch. 1 pitch outings FTW!
Kimbrel channeling his inner Strop today.
Rizzo saves the day with a sliding tag of the base to beat the runner.

I honestly didn't see that comeback coming. I was thinking, "If the Crew can just make this 4-0 lead hold up, we may be tied for the division lead." Dang!!! (But Kudos to your ball club all the same).
Time for Alzolay and Montgomery or Chatwood to step up for awhile til Hendricks gets back. I'm gonna guess Hamels hits the 10 day IL
Montgomery needs to be sent down. The dude just looks like he's throwing batting practice out there.
Welp I'm sure this will go into tomorrow or as the season plays on:
"Pedro Strop went off on Yasiel Puig after Puig got hit by a pitch and started out to the mound as the benches cleared on Saturday. Strop: "I told him, 'Why are you talking? You have a chance to do whatever you need to do on the mound. Now you're just screaming. It's not a secret he's stupid. He's stupid as F---. I have nothing against him but he's stupid. There's no doubt about it."

I love it. I love hearing the Cincinnati announcer imply that Strop would hold no chance in a fight with Puig. I'm not saying he would, but Strop is freaking cut. Puig is just a hot head.
Hendricks back is huge. Hope they didn't rush him back but I'm guessing they wouldn't risk it
This breakdown of the Strop v Puig fight is hilarious.
