This thread is going to go down in history as one of the greatest forum prediction threads of all time.

His arm is more likely to go the way of Bobby Jenks, or he could take a Ugueth Urbina turn.

Laughable thread. But common way of thinking this day and age.

People are saying < 1%. About right. "Snow balls chance in hell" is another way to put it.

The few predicting Kimbrel to do this will be off posting Grandma's ice tea recipe or something on another forum when this tanks.

Hey, to the ones that predict this to happen.... give us an exact date on the blow up at Yellowstone so we can get the bison out of there! Ha!!

CONGRATS TIED FOR MOST BY A BRAVE

Craig Kimbrel got the last two outs for his 15th save of the season, which tied him with John Smoltz for the most saves in franchise history with 154.

 

[Willie99]

Mo has 652 career saves over 17 seasons, averaging > 38 per year.

Kimbrel isn't even on the radar, maybe in 2025 will can talk about this (seriously)

until then, forgetaboutit

PS: I'm not knocking Kimbrel either, but comparing him to Mo is like comparing my man George Springer to Hank Aaron

 

[Willie99]

how about 42 post season saves with an ERA of .70?

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

You know better then that.
Guy is unreal and unstoppable.

Best I've ever seen.

You haven't seen too many then....

Goose, Lee Smith, Rollie, and Mo off the top of my head....
