Hendricks vs. Kluber has the potential to be a Smoltz/Morris-like affair.

If Chicago scores a couple runs here in the 9th, I'd sit Chapman
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Oh, and Baez is going to win so many Gold Gloves
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Up 5. I would sit him anyway. He hasn't thrown a lot of pitches so he is good tomorrow.
OK Maddon. Sit Chapman now
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
It is mind boggling to have chapman pitching now.
LOL
Maddon is really some strategical genius isn't he?
Give me a break.
Now Chapman is out
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
why exactly was Chapman still up with a 7 run lead?
If Chicago holds, hard to not favor the Tribe.
Big 3 in their bullpen is rested, and have Kluber.
Cubs better have a lead by the 5th inning or they're toast.
hell of a throw from Heyward
Pretty obvious Maddon doesn't trust Strop. Not sure I blame him

DWAR

He shouldn't trust anyone in his pen sans Chapman. That Rizzo homer and baserunning blunder by Perez looming large.
Chapman may or may not be a Cub next spring, and has months to rest after tomorrow night. Both teams are trying to erase 70+ years of history. These are the reasons we saw Miller in Game 5 and will see them both tomorrow night until their arms fall off - and Tito and Maddon are justified in using them the way they have. You can't measure heart, clutch, or momentum with numbers.

Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

This is a good point, but in a 7-run lead, thats a little more than enough.
Chapman only threw 20 pitches, so it's not like he extended him too much. But if he was going to pull him after a single batter in the 9th, why even bother letting him start the 9th? Just a weird move all around in my opinion.
