He's never been good in the postseason, or clutch situations. He also cost Team USA the game against DR in the 2013 World Baseball Classic. The Red Sox used Sale out of the bullpen instead of Kimbrel in the world series, etc
Phils fan, saw a lot of Kimbrel last year. The guy was either lights out or a catastrophe. He’d suddenly lose his fastball location or his curveball for stretches of time.
This wasn't the case before he went to the White Sox and they forced him to be a setup after he made a career as not just any closer but the best in the league for years. Cubs never should have made that trade.
as an orioles fan hes been very frustrating this year but hes doing a decent job filling in for felix bautista. every pitcher has their highs and lows in a season especially when ur 36
Relief pitchers have the hardest time getting into the HOF. One of the biggest (and unfair) reasons is they “couldn’t cut it as starters.” The fact that Rivera was the first unanimous election speaks of how great he was at it. Although Kimbrell had the run and the milestones, I think he’s gonna have a hard time getting in due to his later seasons and due to how many playoff games he lost. Of course, with all the new metrics they’re starting to use, he might have a shot but I dint see it being first ballot.
Craig Kimbrel is the reason why pitchers like Mason Millier doesn't impress me at all. Kimbrel used to struck out the side every night making it look routine. The difference between Miller and Kimbrel is that Kimbrel wasn't overrated and MLB wasn't uploading videos about him every single day. He had 38 saves in 43 chances 3.22 era with the Cubs in total from 2019 to 2021 which is great. But for Kimbrel having an ERA over 2.00 is already bad for him since he used to 1.00 era every year. Kimbrel is a hall of famer, Wagner and Rodriguez didn't do what Kimbrel has done in his career, including Rookie of the Year and broke the saves record for a rookie, and 9th All Star Selections and he has broke many other records and he is also the youngest to do it in every aspect.
@@Caleb-ns8oh Chapman at that Age was throwing 105 .. Let's see if Miller doesn't land to the Injured list and if he keeps throwing 103 mph when he turns 36
the problem is now every kid in every state throws 100. the next generation is here and it’s better. technology and medicine have allowed the human body to do unthinkable things. back in 2010 the mlb avg fb was 92. Kimbrel was throwing 99. No one was used to that kind of speed. Now that every MLB player has been seeing 99-100 since HS it’s different. that’s why you’re seeing kids like Mason Miller(which i disagree with you, i think he’s going to be great) fascinate me because not only is the kid throwing 100 he’s throwing 100 with fucking 12-15 inches of break. that’s disgusting.
Red Sox fan here. Gave me multiple heart attack in the 2018 run. Nearly lost several games but never technically blew a save. By World Series time he lost his closer spot. Wasn’t sad when he walked.
I pitched opposite of him for 2 years in high school in area games. His little brothers went to my school. And I was at the party they threw at their house the night he got drafted.
Kimbrel is a fucking hoss he deserves HoF purely for his run in the 2010s. He satisfies both dominant peak and longevity of greatness as criteria, with the former being GOAT status. Wtf. Also Wagner needs to be in, too.
@@jpowers55 I don’t know how to rank Eckersley, he probably had the best career out of any reliever but a lot of his career came as a starter. I have Hoffman 8 and Lee Smith 15
What was his ERA during/over the years? NOT ERA+, but his ERA, what he DID, not some comparison arbitrary BS … but the stats HE earned, what HE could control, not to mention WHIP.
ERA+ isn't arbitrary lol. Park factors (the only arguably arbitrary part of ERA+) usually play a minimal role in the adjustment. ERA+ pretty much just gives you a snapshot of how much better a pitchers ERA was compared to their peers, which makes it much better than ERA

his hall of fame picture should be his goofy look when he looks for a sign
Yeah it's his signature, looking like an injured bird holding one wing up
Will never forget him walking out to Welcome to the Jungle in Atlanta🔥
etched indelibly in time ... Craig Rules ------ any time, any city, any country, any planet !!!
I liked it better his rookie year when he had to wear a hello kitty backpack
@@wut37inarow absolutely ... this Craig is a Warrior === the closer on my All Fantasy Team !!!
he just can't close playoff games for the phillies.
That’s because he’s always a Brave and hates everyone of you fans😂
He's never been good in the postseason, or clutch situations. He also cost Team USA the game against DR in the 2013 World Baseball Classic. The Red Sox used Sale out of the bullpen instead of Kimbrel in the world series, etc
I will still love him for that!
Or regular season games for the Orioles
This D-Backs fan can confirm. lol
One year the braves had a great 7-8-9 inning relief with Venters O'Flaherty and Kimbrel
That was so sick, I remember I had those guys on my fantasy team to eat up Ks for me every week.
@@unhpsychology3909 they even used them in the all-star game in the last 3 innings

Are you surprised that MLB is posting a guy who regularly tops 100 MPH on each fastball? What the hell else do you want to see on social media?
@@coleward4208 okay post Chapman then .. 36 years old and throw harder than him
Nah Miller throws just as hard as Chapman. He's hit 104

Born and raised in Huntsville. We are very proud of our boy
Im an O's fan and when he's on he's still great but hes blown so many games already. I never know what version will come out of the bullpen.
i met kimbrel at some meetup in atlanta during his prime. very humble and levelheaded guy.
Still having a great year this year 2.85 era .99 whip
great video. I remember his struggles with the Chicago very clearly and his late signings in june. Very inciteful video
14:26 Kimbrel blowing a save against the Padres on my birthday pissed me off, especially in the way it did
You're getting better at your love action bits! You have better demeanor and camera presence in this video than in ones I've watched before.
Your mic is hella quiet this video
As a Dodgers fan, all I can remember of him is all the games he lost for is as a closer.
Red Sox fan here. Gave me multiple heart attack in the 2018 run. Nearly lost several games but never technically blew a save. By World Series time he lost his closer spot. Wasn’t sad when he walked.
How my god watching him was like a ticking time Bomb. He was very lucky the Red Sox bailed him out with great defense
I can’t properly describe how incredibly mad I was at the Braves when they got rid of Kimbrell. I had to take a year off.
He was never the same after leaving the Braves.
I pitched opposite of him for 2 years in high school in area games. His little brothers went to my school. And I was at the party they threw at their house the night he got drafted.
Hey new fan here long time baseball fan can you do an Edgar Martinez video
What a time it was!
You know you are great when people always remember the few times you weren't.
As a D-Backs fan, I'm loving this. lol

he was good for my sox but he gave me heart attacks on that 2018 run
Imagine being the padre and giving up max fried. Trea turner and granddal for nothing
kimbrel jump scare!
(im a phillies fan)
I thought we had something when he was with the Phil’s last year but I was wrong
Bro i genuinely want to watch your videos but the way you emphasize the last word of every sentence drives me insane
It’s like if Project Pat was talking instead of rapping!
i was waiting for the intentional balk clip lmaooo
Best relievers ever
1. Mariano
2. Billy Wagner
3. Kimbrel
Hoffman? Smith? Eckersley?
@@jpowers55 I don’t know how to rank Eckersley, he probably had the best career out of any reliever but a lot of his career came as a starter. I have Hoffman 8 and Lee Smith 15
No love for Fingers?
2017 should not count for any pitcher with Houston involved btw!
Hope he gets to 500 saves, he’s a HOF reliever but it’s always hard to get them inducted. 500 saves should seal the deal for him though
He’s 100% a Hall of Famer
We need a Justin verlander video
Such a weird visual seeing him strike out Ryan Howard
It all went downhill when he grew his hair out and sported a man-bun
i was not familiar with craig's game
I think Koufax has the most dominant peak ever.
My favorite player ever
And now he needs four days rest to blow a save.
I’m sorry what *i lean my ear towards you* speak up
Dude, the upspeaking is unbearABLE.
dude you need sleep lmao
All i know is he does the stupid arm thing
What was his ERA during/over the years? NOT ERA+, but his ERA, what he DID, not some comparison arbitrary BS … but the stats HE earned, what HE could control, not to mention WHIP.
ERA+ isn't arbitrary lol. Park factors (the only arguably arbitrary part of ERA+) usually play a minimal role in the adjustment. ERA+ pretty much just gives you a snapshot of how much better a pitchers ERA was compared to their peers, which makes it much better than ERA
Go look them up
Uhhh era+ basically isolates Era down to what a pitcher can comtrol.
Old man yells at clouds
@@elcrow113 no that’s FIP, ERA+ tells you how much better they are then a league average hitter
repent (change your mind about sin and attitude to the way God sees it.) and trust in Jesus you will be saved love yall and God bless
Stats stats stats... So boring!
