Re: Kimbrel has 33.2 consecutive scoreless IP
Closers may have a SLIGHT advantage but throwing 33 consecutive scoreless innings, regardless of starter or reliever, is no small feat to scoff at.

Re: Kimbrel has 33.2 consecutive scoreless IP
I just kid, it is impressive. A Starter gets in a routine and has to string together starts on 5-6 days rest. relievers/closers may pitch 5 days in a row if not more.
Still impressive, just a different type of impressive.

If he isn't playing in the northeast it gets no coverage.

Very impressive, but not as good as if he was a starter. Starters have to face batters 3-4 times a game and after that 1st AB, batters have a slight advantage as they have seen the pitches before. Not the case with a closer who comes with only 1 inning, with a good chance that he isn't facing 3-4-5 everytime and he has a fresh arm. Nonetheless, it is a great feat.
