It’s not any criticism. It’s stupid criticism. “Maybe Luhnow will finally admit he needs a closer.” He’s traded for one. Twice. Including this summer. Best one available. And he’s had jack all to do with the outcome of this series.

Giving up a grand slam in game 3 after 2 hit batters in a row, one of which walked in a run, didn't have anything to do with the outcome of that game and this series?

So who should we get?  Aroldis Chapman blew the save in Game 7 of the World Series.  So did Mariano Rivera.  Everyone saw Eckersley give up the homer to Gibson on the 30th anniversary a few days back.

We went out and got a top five closer.  What else was he supposed to do?
Guys didn't perform.  The entire bullpen was shit and so was Cole.  It happens in a short series sometimes.  It doesn't mean the team wasn't well put together.

A 7 game series isn’t short

Yes it is.  There's a reason they play 162.... and even then two divisions still ended up with ties this year.

In a game where they scored 2? Not really.

Regardless, I can concede that and everything else still stands.

Craig Kimbrel, obviously.

I meant being 8 outs away from being eliminated in the ALCS and then going on to win the WS.

Red Sox were one out away from elimination and down 0-3 to the Yankees in the '04 ALCS.
