A good reminder that Kimbrel cannot close in October Doesn t count Kimbrel didn t get his song - Los Angeles Dodgers fans divided after Craig Kimbrel surrenders walk-off home run to Arizona Diamondbacks

By Daniel Santiago Modified 15 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Los Angeles Dodgers closer Craig Kimbrel is once again in the crosshairs of Dodgers fans Craig Kimbrel recently received mixed reactions from fans after surrendering a walk-off home run. A day removed from being crowned the National League West champions for the ninth time in 10 years, the Los Angeles Dodgers fell to Arizona. The Dodgers were defeated 7-4 by the Arizona Diamondbacks, courtesy of a Sergio Alcantara walk-off home run in extra innings. Alcantara smashed a three-run bomb off Dodgers closer Craig Kimbrel in the bottom of the 10th to give Arizona just its 67th win of the year. It was a tight affair as the game was tied 2-2 after regulation. The Dodgers led 3-2 heading into the bottom of the 10th, courtesy of a wild pitch by Reyes Moronta that Austin Barnes capitalized on to score home. Several fans, of course, blamed Craig Kimbrel.

Craig Kimbrel checked into the game to replace Evan Phillips in the top of the 10th inning. He first walked Corbin Carroll, struck out Alek Thomas, and then forced a groundout from Cooper Hummel. With a 2-1 count to the next batter Sergio Alcantara, Kimbrel surrendered a deep ball to right field to effectively finish the game. The closer just lost his sixth game of the season in 54 appearances. It was also his fifth blown save of the year. While some have heavily criticized Kimbrel, others have come to his defense.

He gave up 1 walk and then got 2 outs. Unfortunately the only hit he gave up was a HR. It's tough to close game with no runners on with a 1 run lead let alone one w/ a ghost runner at 2nd.2@Dodgers Eh, let's not jump on Kimbrel yet. He gave up 1 walk and then got 2 outs.

Craig Kimbrel s roller-coaster season

Given the set of standards that Los Angeles Dodgers fans hold their players to, several just don't see value in keeping Craig Kimbrel. The team traded AJ Pollock to the White Sox for Kimbrel when they were out of a closer after Kenley Jansen's departure. salty dodger fan (98-44)@yaboidany2115@Dodgers Man not good for Kimbrel. These types of innings are the ones you get in October. And it's the D-Backs lol.40@Dodgers Man not good for Kimbrel. These types of innings are the ones you get in October. And it's the D-Backs lol. Alex Gam@AlexGam2013@Dodgers That was “Sweet Child o’ Mine” Kimbrel, doesn’t count.67@Dodgers That was “Sweet Child o’ Mine” Kimbrel, doesn’t count. Kimbrel has had a topsy-turvy year with his new squad. He started out hot from April to mid-May. He then recovered in June before a mediocre July. The closer also had an awful start to August. Craig Kimbrel turned things around later in the month when, on August 21, he changed his walk-out music to the hit animated movie Frozen's "Let It Go." Kimbrel originally rocked Guns N' Roses' Sweet Child O'Mine, but to mixed results. Since Kimbrel walked out to "Let It Go," he hasn't given a run or a hit in eight appearances. He surrendered the walk-off home run tonight but wasn't given his usual entrance music as it was an away game. Call it superstition, but no one can deny the results. He currently has 22 saves for the year. It seems like Kimbrel has a swirling storm inside of him. Time will tell if he can rise like the break of dawn.
