When Chapman blows them, it sure feels like a punch to the gut. The 3 that really stick out are the game at Philly, SD and tonight.

It seems like a ton of walk-off HR losses the last few years with Coco and Chapman.
I would bet over the course of a full season that Lecure would have a similar save percentage as Chapman. AC is a "thrower". Not a pitcher. It also seems like whenever this team appears to be getting on a roll, he (like Cordero) will blow one in dramatic fashion (why can't it be a seeing eye single once in a while that gets him?) Yeeesh.

I am Cuban Missiled out.
Welsh said he was "Stunned", what an idiot...
I really hope we get something good for Chapman...
Only 7 closers (and not all of those are even full-time closers from what I can tell) in all of baseball have more blown saves than Chapman.
Why does Dusty and the media, etc. act like he's such an untouchable hammer out there? He's unbelievably pedestrian.

Chapman is not exactly considered a work horse...had no business in the game. Now you can bet he will set tomorrow...should of set tonight and let Hoover finish the game, he was nasty in the 8th and Chapman would of been ready for tomorrow....
Can we question this decision? Or will be get bashed?
