Re: Sports: MLB
Chapman didn't throw that many pitches though, I think his pitch count was something like 17, about the number he usually throws in 4-5 outs of work.
I feel confident in our bullpen, especially with some starters filling in. Tonight's game is going to be epic. Go Cubs! |

Re: Sports: MLB
I hate to be that fan who second guesses a professional manager like Joe Maddon, but I gotta agree with japes here. With a 5-run lead, Maddon could afford to think ahead about Game 7, even in an elimination game. Expending Aroldis Chapman to protect that big a lead screams, "I don't trust the rest of my bullpen."

Plus, Jon Lester is available in the bullpen tonight. Kyle Hendricks can probably make it through the 5th, then Lester takes over for the next 2-3 innings, maybe use Montgomery for a few outs. I doubt we'll see the flamethrower until the end of the night. |

Re: Sports: MLB
Jake Arrieta told Bosio that he'd be available to pitch a few in tonights game, which would be incredible to see. A Hendricks start with a bullpen of Lester, Arrieta, Montgomery (if needed) and Chapman just sounds scary.

Fun game to watch so far. Home runs, scores on wild pitches... this stuff is exciting!

I did not think baseball could actually be interesting, but this has been a pretty great game

A rain delay too? Man, this game is the complete baseball experience in microcosm. Some fans are literally going to keel over tonight.

Extra Extra
BLASPHEMY!
I didn't know how much I wanted extra innings for a game 7. I'm rooting for the Cubs because they've had a longer wait, but I've been rooting for CLE/CHC for quite some time because it's my perfect series. This is just getting better and better. ~Dysole, constantly rooting for the underdogs My Twitch Channel where I play Scape and other things My YouTube Channel where the games get uploaded later Dysole's Draft Rankings Map Thread (Not responsible for psychic damage) Customs Battle Reports This sentence is seven words long.
