Okay It was overboard. But I still think it was a mistake. And I think that’s a reasonable opinion to have especially given the final result. Im done with this. Time to move on to the next game and other topics like Rafaela sinking like a rock 😉
-
You don’t know whether or not “no other manager would do it”. That’s your opinion and I respect the reasonable opinions of others. But it’s not a known fact. What is a known fact is that other RPs have appeared three days in a row-THIS YEAR. So it can be done and has been done. Time to move on . I hope this doesn’t cost us at the end of the year.
-
Then let’s say it this way: I think he made a mistake, one that likely cost us the game. Water under the bridge now…I just hope this mistake doesn’t cost us by the end of the season
-
You don’t know that. I admit it’s a bit “out of the box” but given the number of years this team has watched other teams play October baseball maybe it’s time to think out of the box a bit. I doubt we lose today if Chapman was brought in. Hader did it in June…of course he’s younger. Hader isn’t the only RP to have worked three days in a row this year either. So your statement that “no manager would have done it” isn’t exactly true. I think Chapman could have handled it.

3 pitches

Rafaela’s OPS I believe is .731 and sinking fast. He was at .793 a month ago. I believe I wrote I thought he’d end up at .720-.740. If he can’t maintain at least .720 I’d consider him unacceptable with a bat. I agree with guess one without the last baseless assumption you made that he would “blow out his arm “. There’s no reason to believe they will flop again against the O’s. After all, we have our new ace going. Dustin May. Im bitchin and whining that Cora probably cost us this game. IMO he was an idiot. Meanwhile it looks like we will only lose a game to the Yankmees today. The Mets are ahead of the Ms 7-1.
-
Whitlocks OPSa for 2025 is a very respectable .568. He has been equally effective against RHH and LHH. He isn’t the problem.
-
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.
-
What’s in the past is now history. My OPINION is that Cora made another mistake by not using Chapman, who threw all of three pitches yesterday. You and others hold a different opinion and I respect your opinion. But I don’t agree with it. Too bad you can’t afford me the same.
-
For sucking. If he did his job yesterday Chapman would have pitched today.
-
I understand the game just fine. You clearly have a problem with folks who have a different opinion than you do. And I didn’t call SS a “Pollyanna”. YOU used that term. Remember: no one can MAKE YOU FEEL irritated or any other way. How you handle external events is entirely up to you. Cora made a mistake today and it cost the team a win. Deal with it.
-
Whatever. But what you see is what you get. I’d be posting the same thing here if no one gave me “the attention I supposedly crave”. I comment on the positive and the negative aspects of this team. Seems some here are a bit thin skinned though….
-
He threw THREE PITCHES in last night’s game! I think he could have managed a few more.
-
When will yours occur?
-
Whitlock has been pretty effective. I don’t trust the other GW nearly as much as.
-
It’s called “debate”. One person takes a position and another person takes a different position. If we all had the same opinion that would be called an “echo chamber”. Echo chambers aren’t particularly interesting.
-
He should be fired but not just because of today’s blunder. I’m not the only person who has called for him to be fired. Not now-at the end of the season.
-
You really should try to pay attention more. You could certainly learn something from my posts.
-
Face facts: Cora cost us this game. All we can hope for is that it won’t matter, but the race is very close and all the games count.
-
I realize that. But at the end of the day baseball isn’t a sports for wimps. Today we lost a game because Cora refused to ask him to pitch the ninth. I’d have told him he’s pitching (I doubt he would have refused ) and just do the best you can-give us what you have.
-
How many pitches did Chapman throw last night? A: 3 That hardly even counts. I hope this loss doesn’t come back to haunt us. Yes, I blame Campbell-but also the witless manager.
-
Im right more often than I’m wrong. I get that you don’t like it. Maybe study the game more?
-
Guess what I’m “bitchin and “moanin” about right now….you get three guesses and the first two don’t count
-
Shoulda used Chapman. Cora needs to go. Hes an idiot
-
I’ll take my chances thanks One game at a time
