I can't even with the remove Knebel talk... Knebel is by far our best reliever. His stuff is that of an elite closer. He's striking out 16 per 9 innings. He is exactly the kind of pitcher you want in that role. He's blown 2 saves since taking over the role, both in 1 run leads. Both situations where he got behind in the count, and the hitter guessed right and made him pay. He's made basically 2 mistakes since taking over the role and payed for both of them. So obviously yes, he needs to be careful not to fall behind in counts. But come on. Long-term he is perfectly suited for that role and has the stuff to succeed in that role. Its not like he's walking the bases loaded and then spiking a splitter in the dirt. He's made a couple mistakes as any pitcher does and it just so happens he has paid for both. Removing him from the closer's role at this point would be a very knee jerk and irrational decision. Who do you want, anyway? Barnes? Feliz?

Incredible how a player can take a called 3rd strike in a 1 run game in extras with a runner on 3rd and 1 out. Just incredible.
-
The clutch hitting on this team is just pathetic.
-
It was pretty clearly high.
-
Screw off, Arcia. You're terrible. What a waste of an evening.
-
To be fair, it was one out, but 2 strikes when the runner got to third. It isn't like he had a full at bat with a runner on 3rd and 1 out. So he shouldn't change his approach when the runner gets to 3rd? The runner was on 3rd when he stared at strike 3, that's what matters.
-
Runner on 3rd with 1 out and Arcia stares at it. Awesome work, Orlando.
-
Now you really have to put it in play...cmon Arcia...
-
Gotta love the 'challenge ' system in MLB. Out of challenges? No problem, just ask for another! He's safe anyway.
-
Nice hustle double JV!
-
This team used up their entire year supply of 'clutch' in one game against the Mets last month. 25 Ks today. Just downright comical.
-
Our plate approach stinks so far in extras and we get to face Jansen again.
-
Too bad that's the last good play we'll see from this team today.
-
Disgusted.
-
Of course. On to the 12th. This is just brutal.
-
Has there ever been a game in which 3 batters from the same team were honored with golden sombreros? They've already got 2, and Perez and Broxton are each a K away.
-
Jansen just bailed Aguilar out of a platinum sombrero.
-
Thanks, Dave Roberts. This isn't taking long enough already or anything.
-
Please just win it here. I need to go to bed, but I'll just toss and turn in bed wondering what is happening if you don't win it first.
-
I have no faith in Torres. Don't let that nice looking ERA fool you.
-
It never fails. I go onto day shift where I have to get up at 5 am and we play extended extra inning games.
-
That's a strike. They literally never call that one.
-
We get to extras and it's like all plate discipline goes right out the window and they just chase everything.
-
I'm not even advocating removing Knebel but at what point is it not okay for him to cost us games? What's your breaking point on a closer? I guess we'll never know how many Feliz would have racked up but he did come through 8 of 9 times. But there's so much more to this stat. For example -- How many of the save opportunities for Feliz were more routine 2-3 run lead save opportunities? How many of Knebel's have been 1 run leads with no margin for error? Case in point, if Knebel has even one insurance run in either of his 2 blown saves since becoming closer, he saves both of them.

How about Keon with a big catch followed by a walkoff...
