If his arm was tired he appears to have enough rest now - he was hitting 95 and I think 96 on one pitch, take away that seeing eye single and it was really a good inning

End of 6, Pirates lead Cards 2-0.
Why is Chappy up?
It might just be to get some light work in.

Could be that he didn't pitch last three games, at least. Didn't pitch in Mets series at all. Maybe Dusty wants to keep him active.
Why is Chapman warming up with a 4 run lead?

I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter, that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit.
Oooooo... It's the Wave...

Yep. You can only use him once tomorrow anyway. Might as well use him tonight since he hasn't worked in forever.

Bruce grounds past the pitcher, Barney scoops it to 1st just in time.

My guess is that LeCure would probably be coming in here if not for his soreness.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Ah, didn't realize it had been so long.
Here comes Chappy and the crowd goes wild!

I thought Brox threw real well tonight. When he got in trouble, he started to throw hard and struck a guy out. He's not Chapman, but good to see him throwing hard.
Chapman in, hasn't pitched in five days.
Closers don't pitch with a 4-run lead unless the bases are loaded, dude.
