Craig Kimbrel had the most RIDICULOUS season in MLB this year....

Relievers shouldn't win the Cy Young.

I know ya'll hate the shyt outta WAR, but bear with me...

Kimbrel just had one of the greatest seasons for a closer...and he has 3.4 WAR. 15 NL pitchers finished higher.

It's simply that relievers don't throw enough innings when compared to the elite starters. You just can't be great enough over 60-70 innings to compared to someone throwing 210-220.

there should be something for relievers though, in this day and age

Maybe he won't even get the opportunity.

Friday is a playoff game

So what happens if the Cardinals get a lead, and he doesn't even enter the game? And then they get knocked out, which means he definitely won't get an opportunity?

I thought my statement through, lol.

Rodney's set a record for min 50 IP, think he beat Eck's old record

Kimbrel is filthy, probably my fav closer

I don't know whats more impressive, strike out half the guys you face for the season or never giving up more than one hit in an inning the entire season.

I still don't believe this dude's season.

2006-2011: 4.42 ERA (never lower than 4.24), 5.2 BB/9

2012: 0.61 ERA, 1.8 BB/9



It's not as ridiculous as Kimbrel....but it's certainly more miraculous

He was never like this in Detroit.

Every inning of his had at least two base runners and 25-35 pitches.

& at those numbers!!!

I'll also add a and a while I'm at it.
