Chapman & Gm 6 & 7??

[HarryCaray]

Wrong

He has thrown 20 pitches in the last 2 days. He's fully available tonight.

I will admit his usage was a head-scratcher last night though.

B 4 gm 6 I thought the best strategy for the Cubs would be to get an early lead & possibly save Chapman. Well they did & didn't, IMO they brought him in too early, and now fucked as far he's concerned 4 gm 7. Right or wrong?????

Cubs have ALL HANDS ON DECK tonight...

Geezzz,

If they need me....I will play...

NO, Harry you're WRONG, he pitched in gms 5 & 6, in 6 he pitched 4+ innings he sure as hell threw more than 20 times. The Cubs fid up by bringing him too early. Of course it will "be all hands on deck", but Chapman won't be as "ready" as he has been. And there was no need for it. Should have waited till 8th or 9th. We'll see tonite.

If he doesn't pitch well tonight, it won't have anything to do with his recent usage. It will be the moment got to him and he Byung Yun Kim's it, or an Indians hitter took advantage of a juicy pitch. 40 pitches, day off, 20 pitches, Game 7. That's playoff baseball. He's good to go for an inning+.

makes no sense to me the way he was used last night in that situation

You have to factor in the day off between games 5 and 6.

Harry, & all U "experts", I told U Maddon fucked up pulling Arrieta too soon, & ditto w/Kendrick. Overmanaged. No way Chapman could throw this many innings. Cubs still MAY W but it won't be because of great moves by Maddon!! Stupid, stupid!!!!!

Yeah he's a one innings guy why Reds didn't make him a starter
