Maddon might have us game 7 by pitching Chapman that much

Thank goodness. That walk was a blessing. Only 20 pitches thanks to the double play.

Hopefully 20 pitches wasn't too much, has to be available for at least 1 inning tomorrow.

Will you guys stop with Maddon and Chapman already
These were win or go home games, its done like this a lot
Chapman or any team best reliever are the guys to put out the fire in these situations..
Save situations start in the 6th 7th inning in these games , not wait for the 8th or 9th when it could be too late.
Francona would be using Miller if situation was reverse..

I'm not worried that they pulled him on a walk. He is known to take his foot off the gas when the game is out of reach for the opponent.

Let alone, he essentially saw the same number of batters as a closer walking the bases loaded and then getting three outs in the 9th.

Maybe Chapman likes regular work and Maddon didn't want him coming into Game 7 on two days rest? Some relievers actually prefer that. Too many backseat drivers without the necessary information to have educated opinions.

Fastball was 3-4mph off his normal. You can see he's already a little worn down. 62 pitches in the last relief appearances. It's gonna to be quite stressfull if Joe tries to use him tomorrow.

Got the out. That's what's important.

**** that was a big out...
Good job Heyward
WHY
Maddon doesn't go to Strop or whoever and goes to his best reliever when game still on line and their threatening in 7th inning

Joe West is one of the biggest clowns in all of MLB. It's a complete joke he is behind the home plate for the WS.

Well, I think with a 5 run lead, you have to count on the rest of the pen. I get that it's win or go home, but winning tonight and burning your pen is not good. You habe to look at it as a two game strategy, and your chances of winning both are far better if your other BP pitchers save a 5 run lead.
All that being said, I think Joe gets away with it! I am retracting my "walkoff Wednesday" post.

I saw him hit 101-103 tonight. We saw him give zero fucks a few games back, well rested, because the game was well in hand. Fastballs between 97-99. The kid can throw 100+ in his sleep, if he want to.
