November 3, 20169 yr Wow, this is bad on him. Epic bad. For his sake I hope they rally back. Over managed way too much in the Series.
November 3, 20169 yr Epic fail. He might as well resign if they lose. He'll never be forgiven for his decisions tonight
November 3, 20169 yr Author You could almost forgive not going to a 3-man rotation given how Kid Lester pitched (after his screw-up). But leaving a weakened Chapman out there? Wow. Just phenomenally stupid. Maddon put Chapman into a situation so many Reds fans have seen him fail in. Cubs fans better direct the blame properly. Chapman may never recover.
November 3, 20169 yr Author Whatever. I've been questioning him among my usual local (not BGP) baseball people since they announced the incredibly dumb decision to not go to the 3-man rotation. The evidence just keeps piling up that he's crap. And I used to like him. He screwed the Northsiders.
November 3, 20169 yr So how many of us could see Chapman getting the smack down that he got when he first took the mound? Guaranteed EVERYONE thought that he'd take care of business.
November 3, 20169 yr So how many of us could see Chapman getting the smack down that he got when he first took the mound? Guaranteed EVERYONE thought that he'd take care of business. Absolutely wrong. Anyone Reds fan who has watched Chapman knows that was a very dicey situation.
November 3, 20169 yr Author So how many of us could see Chapman getting the smack down that he got when he first took the mound? Guaranteed EVERYONE thought that he'd take care of business. Dude came in for a totally unnecessary 1 1/3 innings last night with his team up 5 runs. They wasted a ton of 100mph fastballs last night. Stupid managing.
November 3, 20169 yr Chapman's arm looks dead. Did he pitch last night in a non-save situation? Brought into the game in the 7th inning with 2 outs, and the Cubs up 7-2
November 3, 20169 yr Brought into the game in the 7th inning with 2 outs, and the Cubs up 7-2 Why would you do that? He's ripe for the picking right here. A game-winning homer wouldn't surprise me at all.
