The Chapman experience begins!

 

[esmith08734]

Chapman for 2? Oh my god.

 

[ratcliffja]

If Cleveland doesn't score some runs they are in big trouble.

Jeez, leave it to GAF for the hot takes.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Looks like Chapman for 2.

 

[KingBroly]

Given what i have seen the indians do for the last two months...

I will continue to see a path of victory for them until they actually have that last out made on them.

I mean chap for two is likely asking for trouble in the 9th.

Gotta get to Chapman early

 

[lucius]

Joe making him pitch 2 innings, I don’t know about this

 

[davidwhangchoi]

this is nerve racking.

 

[JambiBum]

I can't have the Yankees season relying on Chapman for two innings. It's going to kill me

 

[Velcro Fly]

Joe Maddon proved last year that 6 outs of Chapman is usually at least 2 outs too many.

 

[Mortemis]

Been listening on espn radio and they were going in on the ump. It's that bad? Damn.

 

[zulux21]

The 2-0 strike call to Bird was horrific.

why.... because they didn't call strike one that was well in the zone, or because that 2-0 strike call was actually in the edge of the zone but you would have preferred it to be 3-0?

I mean, by gameday that pitch had just a bit of the zone, so it should be a strike no?

or do we want automated calls only when it benefits the yankees ?

 

[thewaffles]

Oh Chapman for 2 makes me so nervous. Velocity seems good though so he doesn't look tired.

Because it was a ball.

Worst strikezone I have ever seen.

 

[KingBroly]

Worst strikezone I have ever seen.

Game 5 Stl v. WSH was way worse. It also changed during the 5th and 9th innings

 

[Rock And Roll]

2012? I remember that.

 

[MechDX]

Jeez, leave it to GAF for the hot takes.

Congrats you've been Tom Penny'ed

 

[SRTtoZ]

Chapman pls

 

[SRTtoZ]

Chapman massaging his armpit. Hope hes okay.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

ok 2 gone ...

 

[Tall4Life]

Indians should just blow everything up at this point. We'll take Lindor for Cleve hero Rajai Davis.

 

[sangreal]

Chapman massaging his armpit. Hope hes okay.

looked like scratching to me

 

[ratcliffja]

What? I was playing along.

 

[Malo]

3 more

 

[jman2050]

One more inning

 

[KingBroly]

And the Indians are done. Even before the game is over

 

[3N16MA]

3 more.

Insurance runs.

 

[sangreal]

please score some runs

 

[Toth]

Okay Joe, you know what you have to do. Take out Chapman and bring in Betances. the perfect way to end the season!

 

[StoveOven]

I can't breathe

 

[SRTtoZ]

Give me an insurance run.

 

[Cre8]

Oh Chapman for 2 makes me so nervous. Velocity seems good though so he doesn't look tired.

Shit, Jose Ramirez in the ninth against Chapman makes me nervous even though he's on a slump.....

 

[JoseDFrog]

Please get a run here. My nerves need it.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

cool he didn't throw too many pitches

 

[zulux21]

why should the indians blow up everything?

they are in a two team division for the next 2-3 years. If they can stay competitive they should.

win or lose, they should stay competitive for a bit, and with the white sox and tigers clearly rebuilding, and KC going to have to go into likely a hard long rebuild... their only competition will be the twins.

 

[friskykillface]

👀

 

[esmith08734]

Please produce a run.

 

[alr1ght]

Absolutely embarrassing series for the Indians. Lindor and Ramirez especially.

 

[GK86]

Man, if the tribe chokes a second straight year lol.

 

[zulux21]

Absolutely embarrassing series for the Indians. Lindor and Ramirez especially.

I mean, any player, no matter how great they are, can easily perform poorly over a 5 game stretch.

also, it's far from over yet. we still have like 7 more innings to play after the indians tie it in the bottom of the 9th

buddy...

 

[davidwhangchoi]

not a good swing.

 

[Syphon Filter]

not over yet, still chances left.

Yeah. The Indians have the division secured for 2-3 more years at least. Unless the White Sox get lucky with their rebuild and all their prospects become great within 1 or 2 seasons.

 

[Rock And Roll]

Wow.

 

[SRTtoZ]

If that costs them a run its a huge mistake.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

yes

 

[3N16MA]

Great start. Bring Hicks home.

 

[Cre8]

Lets go, insurance run.....
