It's amazing Knebel can pitch in back to back games but Hader can only pitch once a week.

[Roderick]

Corey Knebel is not an elite closer.

 

If his curveball isn't good, he isn't an average closer.

[kybrewerfan]

Counsell looking pissed when he picked up the bullpen phone

[brooks_quichenick]

This is excruciating. Knebel is toast.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Strikes! Throw strikes!

[Fear The Chorizo]

Every Padre batter is pretty much going to stand up there with the bat on their shoulder until they have 2 strikes on them...bad feelings about the outcome of this half inning

[MoreTrife]

Pretty upset at Knebel. When a guy is openly upset on the mound because he knows he can't throw a strike, that's pretty bad.

[PinaMadness]

Corey Knebel is not an elite closer.

Exactly. I was going to say he's not even a secondary closer.

[jason21nl]

Why the hell did they just throw a curve? That’s awful. He’s awful

[folly412]

It's amazing Knebel can pitch in back to back games but Hader can only pitch once a week.

 

Can he? Evidence today seems to indicate otherwise.

[MoreTrife]

GABRBAGE>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jjfanec]

You just walked the 7,8,9 part of the order. Those were some really bad hitters...

[adambr2]

Get him out of there! My God Knebel!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

OMG ... this is excruciating!

[stoutdude04]

How many more walks do we have to endure?

 

A 3-2 curve? Okay then.

[MrTPlush]

Lol...three walks and he is still in there. Ahhhh Counsell.

[PinaMadness]

How does Knebel get such a long leash? Anybody else and they are definietly out of the game after the second walk, if not the first.

[wibadgers23]

Yeah I'm done with Knebel. Was fun while it lasted.

[MoreTrife]

Throw a damn strike!

[jjfanec]

Why is he still out there? This is so frustrating

[jason21nl]

And we’re just going to watch this happen

[wildcat83]

3-2 curve following back to back walks????

[adambr2]

I don't want to see this head case pitching in the 9th again this year in anything other than garbage time. Just completely inexcusable.

[stoutdude04]

Haha. What a typical outcome.
