Fucking Kimbrel.

[Captain Obvious]

Flip Kimbrel and Alverado for a few games.

Terrible way to lose, but still good to get 2/3

[Christopher]

Can't win 'em all.
Bummer for Bryce.
Gotta win 100% when you score 8 runs. But the pitching was just not there today -- 4 of the 6 guys on the mound came up lacking.

[Christopher]

Offense also going to have to adjust to the inevitable return to earth in September. They're not going to hit 3+ homers a game every day the rest of the way. Better opponents ahead. Maintain the fundamentals, though, and they'll be just fine. This is a good offense. It will remain good if it can produce run in a variety of ways -- speed, walks, gap doubles, smart baserunning.

Sanchez getting knocked out early and Soto not going an inning created the snowball effect

Kimbrel continues to be overused. If he had brought Covey in for the 9th - I would have been ok with it,

They get to bring up 2 guys on Sept. 1, and only 1 of them can be a pitcher (max 14 pitchers).
So I'm guessing Yunior Marte returns.

They'll activate Ranger

At this rate they may want to consider putting him in the pen.

Cubs gain a game, but with the Dbacks & Giants losing, magic # for a playoff spot down to 23
