    Chapman is no closer in my estimation, he simply fucks around too much, very adventurous 9ths on a consistent basis, Reminds me of Wetland or Wetman whomever the Yanks had in '96. Judge saved Chapman and the Yankess asses on the final play of the game.

    Yeah, that guy, he had some adventurous 9ths. One thing I forgot to mention about Chapman that next to the last pitch to Turner I felt the UMP missed the call, that guy looked like he swung. Judge ends up with another defensive gem.

    Rob, he’s not throwing/ telegraphing that straight arrow fast ball. He got the 3 Ks on well placed sliders &
    change ups.

    How often does Chapman allow the tying run on base, and the winning run to come to the plate???

    To Damned Often....!!!

    I was so disgusted with the way the Yanx threw away the earlier game that I didn't even watch the first few innings of the night cap...it seems that Boone also use "the binder"... Betances has pitched MUCH better lately and was just plain filthy in the 8th...can anyone give me a good explanation of why Boone didn't simply march Betances right back out there for the 9th instead of Chapman ?

    ...sorry, but I've always believed that you should stick with the hot hand...Chapman was unnecessarily brought in, struggled with his command and tried his damnedest to give away an easy win.

    Gray had this astronomical 7.ERA against teams with a .500 record. Aaron Hicks belted his 9th and Stanton produced to help us win 4-2. Its all good. Baseball-Batter-Animated.gif

    ...exactly, and that's the point...I mean, what else is the BP Coach gonna say ?, "Chapman looks like shit tonight, don't bring him in !"

    ...Betances' slider was absolutely unhittable last night and he was locating it and the Nats batters looked totally lost...IMO, when ANY pitcher is locked in like that, stick with him. WE've seen Chapman come in and look great but we've also seen him come in and pitch like, ..........well, .........me !

    ^^^ Anyone remember Betances record vs the Nationals?...anyone remember how well Betances has pitched lately?

    ...The Nats are a team that has never faced Betances before and neither had the batters who be leading off in the 9th yesterday...Betances only threw 15 pitches, faced 3 batters, struck out all 3 while making them look totally lost. He's allowed 0 runs and 1 hit in his last 11 appearances, faced 41 batters and struck out 20 of them.

    And in his last 20 outings only 2 times did he pitch two innings and gave up a run in each of those

    ...So?...wtf does that have to do with how well he pitched LAST NIGHT?...aren't you the one who last week tried to defend Chapman by trying to somehow compare him to Rivera and reminding us all that "even Mo didn't have 1-2-3 innings every time he pitched"...remember?

    ...I "cherry picked" some of Betances' stats only because YOU did, to help show you that what has happened in the PAST does not by default, predict the outcome of the PRESENT...sorry, I can explain it to you but I cannot understand it for you.

    ...but this really should not need explaining...Chapman clearly did not have his best stuff, and conversely, Betances did !...do you disagree?...yes or no?

    "When you see a good wave ride it out, (it could be awhile b4 you see another)"...

    Bad decision by Boone...

    15     pitches, Betances should of been sent back out in t/9th.

    We are upset in a game we won!! You guys are hysterical. Bottom line is this year when he was sent out there betances didn't have success in the 2nd inning. And Chapman, despite not having a lot of clean innings has the following stats 31.2 IP, 14H, 55K, 1.14ERA, 0.884whip and saved 21 for 23. If you ask me thats pretty good and I'll take it as should we all.
