August 31, 201016 yr What do ya'll think would be the ideal situation for Chapman to come in and pitch tonight? Ideal for him...not necessarily the Reds. I would use Chapman in situations similar to that of when we've used Rhodes. And I know I would probably be in the minority, but there's a big part of me that wants to hold Chapman back until the Cards series. That way, he'll either dominate and humiliate or be wild & hit somebody...
August 31, 201016 yr Let it begin. 27 This has to be a 1st for BGP. Thanks LRCW. It's going to be a blast watching that number dwindle. GO REDS!
August 31, 201016 yr How many RBI does Rolen have since the All Star break? He is wore out. 17 and he missed 10 days due to injury. Nice try though.

Let him pitch at home with the crowd on his side. Also, if Chapman's stuff is as good as advertised (and I think it is), then it won't matter whether they have a scouting report on him or not.
August 31, 201016 yr Is anyone else worried that LaRussa may complain that Chapman throws too hard? We can probably add that one to the list...Also to be added, I heard yesterday that Thursday is the last off day the Cards have this season....well until October 4th. So they have to play 30-31 straight days to close out the season.

They are too disappointing and I love what LaRussa has brought to St. Louis but his run is over, they need a new guy. Watching the Cardinals play right now makes me want to jump off a bridge...

August 31, 201016 yr For sure, I can't watch them right now... Your reverse Patrick Starr ain't working here.
August 31, 201016 yr Your reverse Patrick Starr ain't working here. Have you watched the Cardinals play lately? Not much can help them. Heck, if you can't win against bottom feeders with a pennant on the line then you don't deserve the playoffs.
August 31, 201016 yr Your reverse Patrick Starr ain't working here. I like your style. The reverse, reverse Patrick Starr. Let Cardinal nation try and figure that one out. Cuban Missle Update - I work downtown with a view of GABP. So far no Lamborghini sightings on land or conical trails in the sky.
