    Is Aroldis Chapman the real deal?

    His career numbers against the Dodgers are good but I can say that if he struggled against the Giants' offense in the playoffs, I believe he will struggle or blow a save against the Dodgers.

    Doesn't show Seager on the list so he might make contact.

    They set him up to fail vs the giants.

    Bringing him in with runners on base and asking him to get 6 outs, when hes done it just twice in his career.

    Didn't he strike out the side in Game 4? Bring him in for the 9th inning with a lead and it's lights out. Plus, Dodgers are horrible against lefties. Dodgers don't want to head for the 9th inning trailing.

    Giant's offense is a fastball hitting team, that is why his 102mph didn't cause much concern

    Maddon has really mismanaged his pitchers tonight. If they lose, it lies solely on his shoulders.ro

    Lester would have given up more runs than Chapman

    The writing was on the wall, but the Yankees made it official on Saturday: Aroldis Chapman is no longer closing games for the Bronx Bombers. Comments from manager Joe Girardi suggested that the move is a temporary one, however, and he told reporters that Chapman will be utilized at “different points” in the game as the Yankees try to pinpoint the source of the left-hander’s struggles.

    While Chapman works out the kinks in his mechanics, the Yankees will look to some combination of Dellin Betances and David Robertson to cover the ninth inning. Girardi wouldn’t commit to either reliever in the closer’s spot, however, and said he’d take it on a case-by-case basis depending on the match-ups in any given game. The long-term plan is still to reinstate Chapman, whenever that might make sense for the team.

    “He’s been scuffling over the past 10 days, two weeks,” Girardi said. “I just thought for us to get him back on track, maybe the best way would be to move him around a little bit until he gets going. When we get him going like I believe he’ll get going, there’s a good chance I’ll put him right back in that closer’s role.”

    Was it the game tying homerun to that no namer Redsox guy a couple weeks ago and they ended up losing in extras that started this? Or was he a disaster before that?
