I don’t know what the big deal is.
A handsome, flame-throwing relief pitcher gives up a few runs, and suddenly everyone’s saying he stinks.
Well, where I’m from, the only thing that counts is how cool you are, and Joe Kelly leads the league in that.
Yes, last night, he may have let the Cardinals put a pair on the board, one of them inherited and the other on his own wild pitch, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t still really cool. Plus, he walked Paul Goldschmidt, which was a smart move. Paul Goldschmidt’s a great hitter, remember?
Anyway, Dodger fans need to settle down. He won’t pitch this badly forever. He has these sorts of slumps all the time. And even if this one lasts a while, he’s more than cool enough to make up for it. Los Angeles, of all places, should embrace that.
