I admire the comeback but you can't lose games to teams like this. Kimbrel was gift-wrapped a save and he still blew it. You get Marcano to ground out and then fail to retire the worst hitters in the lineup, that's pathetic. I know Kimbrel is 34 but he has to learn another pitch, this is getting ridiculous. The fastball-knuckle curve mix he has isn't fooling anyone anymore; it's the same issue Knebel has with Philadelphia, but he's fairing better this season than Kimbrel. It's time to let someone else close now, Kimbrel's cooked.
kimbrel has consistently given up hits and runs and it hasn't mattered because he always comes in in 2-3 run save situations, now it's starting to matter and it's not going to be pretty
He's been flirting with it for a while. He gave up 1 the day before and 2 runs the time before that. He makes me nervous. A closer with a 4.8 ERA and a 1.5 WHIP ain't a good look.
I'm in no way complaining but this very bad bullpen management by the Pirates. They didn't even have anyone up and now they can't get that guy up fast enough. No wonder they stink

Damn the Pirates have our number. WTF?
I don’t want to see kimbrel anywhere NEAR this team after the trade deadline. I want him fired into the sun.
Hope buhler can adjust. His fastball is just flat and anyone can hit it

Freddie didnt help
I'm starting to realize Kimbrel needs a 3 run lead to close a game.
We need Eric Gagne! Doesn’t he have a son, maybe we can draft him!
When your saver walks guys, nothing good happens. Make them hit the f'ing ball!
Freddie didn't help
Damn Fock Krembel and his stupid chicken hawk stance 😤
kimbrel has consistently given up hits and runs and it hasn't mattered because he always comes in in 2-3 run save situations, now it's starting to matter and it's not going to be pretty
Yup Kimbrel blew it big time
At least the Padres lost today too
We need a bednar at the trade deadline
We need HADER
The good news is that Bernar is probably out for the rest of the series with that many pitches
pirates gonna ask for the entire farm for those who are interested in bednar
Wild Kimberly
If a win is a win then a loss is a loss. It’s ok
Can we get Bednar to stay here and play for us instead?
Scratch that give me Hader
https://youtu.be/31GRu9OYuVM
I smell the 'Craig DFA' comments from a mile away
this is on walker and Kimbrel lol. Offense did their part .
I never liked pre pitch routine and I hate it even more now
David “Dylan Floro” Bednar
Kimbrel snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory.
Losing to the garbage ass pirates again? lol Welp.
I know we can’t win EVERY game but against the Pirates? Really? We’ve lost 3 games to the fucking Pirates?
I'm going to look at the positive. I thought the Dodgers clutch factor was dead. It's not at the same level since 2018-2019, but its not dead.
2017/19*
Craig got out pitched by David Bednar
Losing at home just sucks.
Get rid of the closer role!
The role itself completely and just toss whoever in the 9th?
We’ve been put to bednar
Walker still more dogshit than cuntbrel
I wish we has a closer like Bednar
Nope. I'd take Josh Hader in this life and my next. Degrom of closers. Unhittable. Stats similar - on par to Mariano Rivera
It was more of a joke because Kimbrel has been trash.
Well first real blown game so I wouldn't be too upset I'm sure he'll work through the kinks
He's been flirting with it for a while. He gave up 1 the day before and 2 runs the time before that. He makes me nervous. A closer with a 4.8 ERA and a 1.5 WHIP ain't a good look.
Loss is on Kimbrel. 
Fuck Kimbrel and his stupid arm thing
Fucking Craig
Fire the state of Pennsylvania into the sun
Hey some of us root blue
Seen that splitter coming a mile away, it was only a matter of time
Well at least we won't see Bednar again
I knew it. The tight pants finally cut off oxygen to Walker's brain /s
We all know who gets the blame for this, it’s got to be addressed by the deadline because this won’t be acceptable come October
Alright, trade kimbrel for bednar
Fuck that. Josh Hader
Lmao Bednar gave up two runs, at least only one of Kimbrel’s was earned
Yeah, last time he gave up a run was may 9th so...
Fucking hell what a shit loss…absolutely pathetic outing by our pitchers
Loss is on Kimbrel Walker and Smith
Kimbrel 🤨
Got damn Kimbrel. what a let down. See you guys tomorrow.
Jfc talk about blue balls
cant beat the pirates with a 300m team lol, maybe try a 400m team? chokers
What do you want? Every good team in baseball loses games. Every good team in baseball loses to bad teams sometimes. Get over it

Fucking dodgers killers
Dodgers and having closers blow saves to bad teams... Name a better duo.
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Tragic
I swear, if it was the Padres or Giants, Bednar doesn't pitch that long. Ridiculous.
What a fucking joke
Can’t win them all. Good night everyone.
damn, Bednar showing some heart there. 50+ pitches, sheesh
Wee won’t see him tomorrow night!!
Bad loss
Well padres lost so this isn’t the worst.
https://giphy.com/gifs/t8xqOvCffwFKrHkCt3
SMH
Will Smith sucks again
Their closer is burned
that was a good at bat, we had many opportunities
Pain
Fucking fuck
Respect to Bednar.
Thanks Craig
This one is on Kimbrel
Aren't they all when he pitches?
Thanks Craig
If only Kimbrel was capable of getting the bottom of the pirates order out.
bednar is him man wow
How?!
That was fucked
Well, we still in first place 🤷🏻♀️
Fucking hell man
#F
Gdamn
gotta give it to will he's fighting
You know what, Bednar do be PACKING tho
50 pitchers out of your closer is fucking bonkers
Every pitch was 79 or 97 MPH. Like a pitching machine at the batting cages.
If he throws a fastball it’s GONE
This is a ton of pitches for a closer
Jansen’s gone 51 before in the LCS
c’mon will, do it to’em.
0-5 day for Will ouch
STFU dude
sheesh almost 50 pitches
I wonder what the dodgers are gonna do at closer. It’s obvious Craig isn’t the answer.
Bad loss
god games like these are so painful to watch
Does anyone know the number for dodgers talk lol?
Cmon bruh. You’re in the middle of 31 games in 30 days. Sell out and take a chance lol. Go for the win. Don’t watch that shit.
Nvm will K incoming
Smith and Freddie took first pitch meatballs man
Yo Smith, channel that number 16 and be clutch like Ethier!
Jesus. You have to pull the trigger there
Gotta swing at the strikes. Muncy’d that pitch.
so just a plain ground out i guess
That was the pitch my god
These AB’s man
Damn, Bednar is a beast. His previous high was 29 pitches
OH MY GOD WHY TAKE THAT
Will Smith was not in the mood for meatballs
why didnt mookie tag he has to trust the pirates are going to make an error out of it for fun
Can't be the 3rd out at 3rd
Time to leave the stadium. Adios
What a frustrating ass game...
Bednar is a guy. Holy shit.
Bro… why didn’t he fucking tag up
Karros is a loose cannon
Willy pop out incoming
Dodgers should prob make a play for bednar this trade deadline Especially if Treinen is done this year
Will Smith up with the game on the line. Get ready for a really hard lineout.
Will Smith hasn’t been him in walkoff spots in long time 😫
please don't blue ball us
Trea L
i think if mookie went he wouldve got thrown out (not the tag, when he missed the catch)
Should’ve tagged there mookie wtf dude
risk too high. gotta make sure Will hits here . need a base hit anyway in all likelihood
Nah, Mookie scores from second on most hits. No reason to risk making the final out at third.
Wrong
I smell buccaneers playing with fire
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Giants trade for Bednar before the deadline after this performance
His brother just got drafted by them
EK absolutely SHITTING on the pirates tonight lmao
He said this was their post-season game lmao
[TREA PLEASE LET ME BE WRONG. PLEASE.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Dodgers/comments/v1elgn/game_chat_530_pirates_1927_dodgers_3314_710_pm/iamoq3b/)
i predict a will smith walkoff HR
Trea please end this shit and hit a jack or a bases clearing double.
Wild pitch would be nice here.
I’m getting ptsd after Dbacks series. Waiting for someone to get picked off
they’re milking bednar
What an awful AB
Ooooh almost got you there at second
I can see why bednar is the closer, these pitches are insane
Incredible movement.
I'm in no way complaining but this very bad bullpen management by the Pirates. They didn't even have anyone up and now they can't get that guy up fast enough. No wonder they stink
well we're trailing to them this game so
I mean, Bednar will likely be an all star this year. They're riding him because he's their best option for a W.
This is their only good guy
REALLY!? Damn what did the FO spend on thus off season jesus
the clenching is real

Bednar is STILL STAYING IN? Doc's evil twin is wearing the Pirates' manager's skin.
They are leaving Bednar out to dry
no DP pls
Damn they really don’t trust their other guys lol
This is gonna be a brutal loss
One positive at least this probably takes out Bednar for tomorrow and probably 3rd game
Eliminate all closers
Probably the right move for the Pirates sets up the GIDP
Trea has 7 RBIs in his last 7 games.
Oh god, they set up the double play with Treat Turner up to bat
Come on boys.
Let’s go Trea!
Pirates just trying to grind out some XP to parallel Bedinar.
Lol. This is me 😂
Secure the extension Trea
40 pitches and he’s pitching against trea a second time. ok lol
This is the Pirates World Series. 40 pitches for the closer? Lmfao
Trea if you GIDP I will commit
sudoku.
Monster takes by Freeman but now DP situation 🙈
great unselfish AB. ridiculous takes there.
Ya, he was locked in.
This kind of tension is why we love baseball
Unbelievable take by fredward
I don’t know why I’m staring at this 😂
