Chapman needs rest. He looks sick too. His body language was evident enough. This is why I loathe Dusty at times....guy shouldn't be in there if his velocity is down that much...it's common sense

Nice to have that big Broxton kid around, hitting 97, just in case.
His average the other night was 96. Picking apart a couple of pitches is cherry-picking at its worst.
His velocity has been consistent almost the entire year. Even the other night it was only about 2 MPH less than usual, which could be explained easily by normal distribution. Tonight he was mostly sitting at 95/96.
If he's still having these issues in a week, then it's time to conclude there's something more going on. But off the basis of two appearances, sometimes guys simply go through periods where they don't have their full strength. That's not uncommon at all.

Chapman's body language doesn't look good. Looks like he's depressed.
Wow. That pitch was close.
Where was that pitch?
