Would be wise to trade Chapman in the offseason. Could probably get a ton for a guy who is average by the numbers. Just not confident when he steps out there anymore.

Guys, go back and re-watch that drop by Votto at first. It wouldn't have mattered. He beat it out regardless. What lost the game was using Chapman 5 out of 6 days in a row IMO. I was personally STUNNED when they said Chapman was even warming up.
11th, 12th, 13th, 15th and today. Bad call to the bullpen.

Welp, that sucked.
This team has pissed away so many wins this year. Could have made life much, much easier on ourselves down the stretch.
Rounding third and heading for home...
even with throwing a slider, you need to change the spot. He threw the last 3 pitches within 6 inches of each other
Chapman may be the most overrated player in MLB.

Bye guys. Let's root Em on to another str reak Tomorrow. At least we know Baker can't make the same mistake two nights in a row. Chapman will be unavailable.

Chapman had pitched in 4 out of the last 5. Baker did the same thing with KOKO in this ball park a few years ago and the same thing happened. Nuts. Would have been a nice win.
