Kimbrel 2012

Try to roll a hit against this guy.

The Mets went 2-for-19 against him that season, working out two singles (both by Ike Davis), one walk (Fred Lewis?!), and a hit-by-pitch (David Wright) against him in 5 1/3 innings.

Rubén Tejada also reached on an error against him, and Jason Bay stole a base after pinch-running for Davis.

That's a rocking .105 / .190 / .105 // .296 slash line.  Twelve of his 17 outs against the Mets came via strikeout, and all in all, considering how ridiculously dominant he was, that wasn't the worst showing. 

I mean, it was awful, but the Yankees went 0-for-7 against him, with five strikeouts.

I love Strat. I need to figure out a way to make time to play it more.

One of those Ike Davis hits was a game winner so huge I thought it would turn the season around

EDIT: Couldn't find evidence of that. Instead it was a 9th inning single in 2013 that snapped Ike's 1-for-42 slump. we lost the game anyway and Kimbrel got the save

How thrown-in was the towel in September of 2012 that they even let Fred Lewis bat in the ninth against Kimbrel?

After Freddy, it was Mike Baxter (pinch-hitting for Jenrry Mejia) and leadoff hitter Ronny Cedeño.  Terry Collins had the Mets limping home.
