somehow he's still only 33 y/o. no way that can be his real age

**Otters27** · 06-10-21, 11:11 PM

He really scares me

**DrunkHorseplayer** · 06-10-21, 11:33 PM

He knows how to throw but not how to pitch.

12 yrs. 162 avg. 33 saves finishes 51 games strikes out 110 and allows 37 hits per 66 IP. 2.24 ERA WL 4-3. 6 all star games and the guy does not how to pitch?

**PlayzDont** · 06-12-21, 09:43 AM

He throws 105mph. One of the best closers

**blackbart** · 06-12-21, 09:45 AM

#1 .

**Doublethink** · 06-12-21, 10:07 AM

correction

That would be 162 game avg. Sorry

**Doublethink** · 06-12-21, 10:10 AM

I would not want to bat vs. him, Nolan Ryan, or Bob Gibson

Those numbers are nothing special given that he's a short reliever.

**lakerboy** · 06-12-21, 11:11 AM

Awful pitcher. His specialty is hitting women.

**Doublethink** · 06-12-21, 03:24 PM

I'm not arguing with you or picking a fight but numbers are numbers. Why is it short relievers have to have better numbers than starters? It's all the same. Starting pitchers have a routine because they know when they will pitch next. Relievers never know when they will called on. Plus I was questioning the remark that he knows how to throw but not how to pitch. Relief pitchers are like goalies in hockey. They can crack at any time.

Wouldn’t want to be a lefty hitter standing in there against that 104mph

**pavyracer** · 06-13-21, 09:45 AM

**Orbison** · 07-01-21, 01:59 AM

another gem from him tonight

**cincinnatikid513** · 07-01-21, 02:04 AM

guy doesn't like not coming in save situations

**MiDNiTe** · 07-01-21, 02:24 AM

Wow angels won this game, I remember having a look at the odds and Yankees 1.04, angels @13, maybe angels were more as I can't remember what stage the game was when briefly looking at the odds

Not the greatest character trait for your closer

Boone had not used him in a week, and think his last appearance was a blown save. Either he’s hurt, or Boone is getting fired soon

Here’s a future trivia question: Who is the only person to hit a grand slam off Chapman?
Jared Walsh

Guys been lights out nearly all of his career. All good things come to an end.

**Orbison** · 07-04-21, 04:16 PM

he just did it again

**unde0087** · 07-04-21, 04:19 PM

Mets bat around and plate 6 runs
