May 28, 201313 yr Now I know why Chapman doesn't want to start, that means he would have to bat. Might think twice about back to back 100mph pitches over a guy's head. Wonder if Brandon gets sick before tommorrow's game because I think Francona is no Clint Hurdle when it comes to managing pay backs,probably happens in Cleveland though I agree with you on they may wait until they get to Cleveland but again, I don't think that it was deliberate. The first one way over his head I think was a slip, have seen Chapman throw wild like that before. Maybe the next one, I just don't think it was.Anyway, that's baseball and GO REDS.
May 28, 201313 yr Now you're just being delusional. Chapman didn't glare at him or run his trap. I did go back and watch it again. After the first one that Cahpman threw that almost landed in the press box, Swisher and Chapman did glare back at each other. Next pitch Mesoraco set up inside but Chapman missed just a bit high. No one can convince me Chapman was throwing at Swisher. Why would you do that with one out in a 2 run game in the 9th? That brings the tying run up to the plate. Swisher IMO was just looking at something to pump himself up for the AB and it almost worked.
May 28, 201313 yr BTW I did rewatch some of the game with the Clevland announcers, and man us Reds fans are lucky. They are the most homer bunch of yahoo's I've ever listened to. Not as bad as Hawk Harrelson but close
May 28, 201313 yr They showed the replay several times on sports time ohio so I have to disagree with you. They even repeated what each player said.

May 28, 201313 yr Swisher said something like you do not do that, I do not remember what they said the pitcher said. I believe they are going to replay the game today, you can always watch if you have that channel.
May 28, 201313 yr Author Jason Giambi agreed that Chapman, who is known to have a wild arm at times, did not throw at Swisher on purpose and said the Indians' reaction was more about supporting their teammate. "I've talked to Chapman plenty of times, and he's a great kid," Giambi said. "But we're going to protect our guys, too, especially Nick, who's a big leader on this ballclub, just to let him know, 'Hey, we've got your back.' But I don't think there's anything to it."
May 28, 201313 yr The Indians better watch out or Dusty might unleash Arroyo to plunk someone in front of their home crowd Wednesday night.
