Since we're still without major-league games, let's award some half-season 'Pitties, for the best performances up until the All-Star break.
I'm doing the same categories as for our regular AZ SnakePit awards, but since this is only a four-day break, I'm not bothering to do the whole call for nomination. poll, etc. thing. This is a unilateral declaration, since this site is not some kind of anarcho-syndicalist commune, where we take it in turns to be a sort of executive officer for the week. It's more of a miltary Jimta. :) Anyway, enough political philosophy.
We were down to our final out, and trailed by two, going up against Craig Kimbrel, a closer who had made the All-Star Game the four previous seasons and since the start of 2012, had converted 148 saves in 159 attempts.
