8/23 Cubs (Jake) v. Padres (Friedrich), 9:10, CSN

[Tim]

Why are we using Chapman here

Joe is a slave to save situations

[Ding Dong Johnson]

why is this game still a thing?

[squally1313]

A small part of me hopes he blows this just to revisit what a dumb trade this was.

 

My friends I was with this weekend said he changed our World Series odds from 25% to 50%

[SpongeWorthy]

throw strikes you piece of horsefeathers

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

Is it just me, or does Chapman look kinda injured?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Shouldn't Chapman be better than this? I feel more comfortable with Rondon at closer.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

should've put Jake in left field for a couple batters

[UMFan83]

Winning run at the plate. Come the horsefeathers on

[NotSoSober]

That feeling of Chapman being automatic is no longer there. To the DL he'll go I'm sure

[Gmoney08]

Throwin 102.. hit 103 a bunch vs Angels.

 

I think hes fine.

 

Hes not invincible... get some kinks out and dominate in the playoffs.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

too close

[Sammys Boombox]

25 gents

[Brian]

well that was a more reassuring at bat

[Brian]

[Ding Dong Johnson]

let's move on to the MLB ERA leader in the pitcher's park now (who'll probably pull a Coors Hammel because I said that)

[Brian]

this is more fitting

There is a difference between invincible and unable to throw strikes up 4 runs against crappy left handed hitters, but I'll calm down now.

Dumb post is dumb.

[Splendid Splinter]

It seems like Chapman is going through like a dead arm period.

Hit 102 tonight and plenty of 100s and 101s.

that's not what csn was showing

[Brian]

Chance Jake might repeat for Cy?

 

1. there's no runaway candidate

2. got the name recognition now

3. most wins, 4th in ERA, 1 in .avg against, 6th in WHIP
