El Chapo is sitting at 95 mph, and this is not good

Aroldis Chapman threw just one swing-and-miss pitch against Baltimore Thursday. 

He struck out Joey Rickard. Yes, THE Joey Rickard.

His fastball averaged 95 mph, about 5 mph below lifetime heat.

They're saying he needs to become "a pitcher rather than a thrower."

They're saying there is absolutely no cause for alarm. Everything is fine. Go on, get. Shoo. There is nothing more here to read.

I was the first person on this blog to note this, during spring training. HC66 was dribbling that Chapman "looked fine," and I pointed out that, at that point, he was maxxing out at 93 or 94. This is an impending disaster--he cannot dominate at that velocity.

Early in the year...it's f'n March so it's not time to panic yet. See how the velocity is in May before having this conversion...

I love insecure stat babies who feel the need to say "I told you so" every day.

The only dribble is what's coming out of your hateful little mouth. You're miserable. Stop taking yourself so seriously.

Yankees defense more than slightly alarming. Teams that put the ball in play and run...aka good baseball teams.. will take 2 of 3 from them all year.

Tulo with a 9th inning meaningless solo HR. Down by 3, man on second, one out. And Judge.

Tying run coming up, Stanton. What the odds?

Publius said...

of a DP? Too high.

JM said...

Stanton no, Voit yes.

Andujar leaving a quarter million men on base isn't good either

Miggy whiff. Good night.

Cripes. Baltimore.

Hey Psycho Anon--always nice to see you obsessing about me. Now maybe consider going out and getting a life that does not concern me. Oh--and take your forefinger out of your anus. That's really repulsive.

Break up the O's!

At least we got the tying run to the plate in the 9th...you had to know that Stanton was good for a K.
