Freyr

Or his girlfriend is crazy and was reacting to possibly finding out he was texting another girl (seems childish I know). No one knows anything other than the people at the scene. It's day 3 of Chapman trade being done, move on with your lives and don't cheer him on when he's saving this team. And yea they do need saving, they really have played awful since June you don't get to decide what people discuss here. you know what this topic is about. contribute positively or ignore it and gtfo. How is my side of the arguement any different than multiple posters coming at me or stating their opinion? You're an idiot

Because I don't share the same view of chapman as you, I know. Middle relief has been awful, the trickle down effect has already been stated. Losing scwhwarbers bat is a problem over a full season for this team. That major left handed bat really balanced out this lineup. A lot less scary now, hopefully reddick is in the cards you barely ever post anything besides some homophobic nonsense then go on a relative posting binge criticizing those people who are upset with Chapman. It speaks volumes I don't post anything because there's posters like you who hunt down another poster and try and belittle them lol. I also have a life outside of cubs baseball. I didn't go on any homophobe binge either. I'll remember if you root for chapman and your posts will be up in that World Series celebration thread come October. You sound like a jealous little kid, am I intruding on your board?

No not at all, I'm throwing out another scenario in what could have went down, since I provided a link yesterday with details of what happened. He didn't choke her, that's clear enough. He also fired a gun in the garage after the girlfriend had ran off already. Stop making it out to be he was firing a gun at her. That's absolutely absurd I didn't say he fired it at her. It's more than a little [expletive] up you think firing off a gun during a domestic dispute is only really a problem if they're firing AT someone. im not defending the gun part, I misread it as you saying he was using a gun to protect himself or fire at her. Either way, he should have thrown a baseball thru the wall instead of that gun. I'm guessing that was his way of letting out anger. I think all of us on here can put that much together, right?

Have you seen how many games the bullpen has either blown a lead between innings 6-7, or when Rondon chokes? I know the stats say Rondon has been great, but my goodness he is awful in major spots. Chapman is nearly unhittable, I could see him coming in and getting those 2 inning saves Rondon could never nail down. you don't understand thingsBecause I don't share the same view of chapman as you, I know.

So what you're positing is that Chapman is actually so noble because he was so terrified by his crazed girlfriend he had no choice but to start blasting off a gun to protect himself?

You were there for the whole thing and know exactly what happened? that's fascinating please continue to tell us all about it. I hate that people assume whatever a woman says to the police is 100% accurate. What he said happened and what she said happened were very different stories. I'm not saying he didn't do anything wrong but Jesus you weren't there how the hell do you know what went down? Reporters weren't there either. There's a reason why the police didn't pursue the case. I don't feel sorry for either one of them, they had issues, they worked them out apparently. I don't care what happened in their personal life. Frankly I don't think anyone needs to be judging the guy. He went through the legal and baseball judgement and served a suspension. Nothing is going to change what happened. He's here now, probably only for a few months. Enjoy his pitching dominance and move on. I'm too busy at work today to tear into this appropriately, but I'll just say that you need to read more about domestic violence, why victims don't report or retract their reports, and why they stay with abusers. It's far more important than baseball. Or his girlfriend is crazy and was reacting to possibly finding out he was texting another girl (seems childish I know).

What she says doesn't have to be anywhere close to 100% accurate for the truth to be that Chapman did very bad things and is a very bad person. You continually give awful comebacks on why we all should dislike Chapman. This statement right here is awful

If you got a life, I would agree to a suspension for no reason lol. Instead of trying to rip on me, or the pitcher we just acquired who's going to save this team that you've spent years on a forum posting about, put your time into something productive.

I'm not voting for anyone to be honest, Hillary is just as bad. A mod should suspend this poster for trying to start a political war in here now haha. Unreal. it'd be easier to suspend you Like chapman, I've already done my suspension :no:

Why? And bringing up an old post of mine, when I replied to someone calling me a fairy, which in this sites terms is equivalent to what I rhymed a word with? Get out of here Freyr, I'm not going to come down too harshly on you because I was where you are now before doing a 180 on the whole thing. But just think about this -- they had an argument in a house full of their friends and family. In front of her brother Chapman put his hands on her neck and forced her against a wall. Could you imagine someone doing that to someone you loved? In front of their sibling? How little respect does he actually have for this woman, someone he is supposed to love and protect? Now, even if he had done all of this with zero witnesses around, its still bad. Very, very bad. But he still did it knowing full well that her family and his were there watching/listening. Talk about a lack of self control, human decency.. both. Even if she instigated the fight and hit him first he is a hulking professional athlete and there were plenty of people there he could have asked to help intervene or calm her down. But nope, he put his hand around her throat and pushed her against a wall. With her daughter in the house. And then fired a shotgun 8 times in his house. And after all of that, he still shows very little remorse, if any at all. No, he didn't beat her to within an inch of her life, but she still probably felt that she was. Completely agree with you. I don't believe he put his hands on her neck. That's all I'm saying. If I thought he did, I would be talking like 90% of everyone else.

this is dumb and awful stuff You should feel shame To add, if his girlfriend and her brother were also from Cuba, why would they fight back knowing that w/o Chapmans money they'd likely go back? The girlfriend isn't from Cuba. She's an ex-escort that he met and got pregnant. Do your research

That post is in reply to someone calling you homophobic when you called Daniel Murphy a fairy: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=439&p=32370#p32370 Yea the poster said he's about as homophobic as you. And I didn't know a thing about Daniel Murphy or his comments. And in regards to your long post above, I'm not saying there's any level to DV. I truly don't think he choked her. And the girlfriends brother was the one who broke the whole thing up. I am beyond against a man putting his hands on a woman in any shape or form that's not loving.

this is dumb and awful stuff You should feel shame Why? And bringing up an old post of mine, when I replied to someone calling me a fairy, which in this sites terms is equivalent to what I rhymed a word with? Get out of here

Stop mentioning Baez name in trades. I guarantee he's Bryant/Rizzo/Russell untouchable. Look at the year he's putting up, he's also only 23. Teams are looking to develop players like him because of the way he's played. Baez deserves respect

http://m.tmz.com/#article/2015/12/08/aroldis-chapman-domestic-violence-photos/ Not sure if this has been posted (I'm sure it has) but the hate for chapman is unreal. I've never seen anything like this in Chicago sports. It's pathetic, and it's mostly female reporters trying to bolster their name, or someone like Dan Bernstein trying to save face. This sucks. Read the link. It's got direct quotes from the girlfriend, as well as accounts from the Police. I am in no way, shape or form defending someone who committed DV, I truly don't think Chapman touched her. It looks like he and her got into it because she had his phone in her hand. Did he grab her and take his phone? This is a female who wa suspicious of her "Star Pitcher husband" cheating on her. She didn't leave her child alone in the house while Chapman went and let out his anger in the garage. The girlfriends brother broke up whatever occurred, and there were other people there. You think her brother would let somebody get away with someone hitting/choking/pushing/anything towards his sister? I mean I sure as hell wouldn't. People need to read up on this instead of trying to push their own agendas.

I keep seeing people putting Clifton in the "untouchables" list in a trade.. Does he really have that high of potential? Never heard of him until recently

I just wonder what the reason is. Is it an "I don't want to poison my body" type situation? Or maybe a history of alcoholism in his family that makes him overly cautious? I mean, I don't drink much...but it's mostly a taste aversion...and I certainly can't say I've never had a drink... I know Bryant's roommate from when he played ball at San Diego. Bryant doesn't party, he's beyond committed to baseball and his girlfriend

It rhymes with baggot. This is a fun board. Can lackey pitch a decent game now please?

He's about as homophobic as you. well I don't think there's a bigger faggot in here than you

TOMMY BABY

Why does Daniel Murphy look like he's trying too hard at all times? I can't stand the guys body language he's like a little fairy

Let's Re-aqcuire Chris Archer at the deadline. Soler+Jeimer+Carintini+Vogebach to start Hold on to Gleyber and Happ at all costs. I could see Happ coming up at some point this year and giving us a Schwarber-like boost to our lineup.

You really are a dumbass if you think the two of their starts/stats are anywhere comparable. Heywards defense is A+ compared to Montero's average play behind the plate. Heyward also gets on base a couple times a game and provides value on the basepaths. Let me know when you're done sucking off Miguel, David. :barf:
