I don’t remember him ever being used three days in a row. That doesn’t mean he should never do it. If ever there ever was the time to do it this was it. In my opinion Cora blundered not making use of him. Yes, there’s a chance he could have gotten injured but that’s a chance I take if I’m the manager. We are in a very tight race to make the playoffs and like everyone else here I’m getting tired of missing out on October baseball. You gotta use all your bullets in this situation.
The bottom line is that we lost a game we likely would have won had Chapman come in for the ninth. Hopefully it won’t cost us the playoffs. But it’s getting late. You pull out all the stops now…..in my opinion of course.
