Rolen hitting for Chapman.
Rolen hitting for Chapman.
I would not have bunted there. Harris is fast enough that he likely wouldn't have been doubled up on a ground ball. I just don't like giving away an out here in the 9th.
I know it's easier if you know the pitch in advance. I got that.Originally Posted by Brutus the Pimp
But a fastball doesn't equal a homer. That pitch was right down the pipe.
Why?
Because of the fear of the walk.
Chapman should mix in other pitches, but can still be effective if he locates his fastball properly.
Since coming off the DL, Rolen is 7-18.
Never go against "the book" young Jedi.I was surprised that neither pitcher was allowed to finish the game. They both were rolling.

I have reported you to the mods, admins, AND Obama for this vile, personal attack on my awesome ideas.
The hooker/girlfriend/hooker hotel stuff is disconcerting too, not mature enough for sustained success in my esteemed Internet opinion.
Now, let's get a hit and make all of this moot.
Heisey...

Time to step up Chris.
There is no book saying you go to a closer.
But Leake going for the fourth time through the middle of the order isn't the best idea.
Nothing wrong with the decision. Chapman is the problem, he's not getting it done.
Walk to Rolen. 1st and 2nd. Heisey up with a chance to redem an awful day.
Good news, Bad News. 2 Guys on. Heisey up.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

Why not pinch run Billy Hamilton for Rolen?
Wonderful AB, Chris!
