96 can get plenty of outs when you have some movement on it or can spot it. Chapman can do neither.

Yep. A 6-1 fastball to slider ratio is far too high for how good Chapmans slider is. Seems like whenever he hits a bad skid its because he only is throwing fastballs.

Chapman's been really sucking the big one lately...better get his head straight. I knew once he didn't get some of those pitches called strikes he was done just by his body language.

Or Dusty could simply leave the starters in to finish the deal. Are we going back to Cordero 2.0?

Chapman DID give up two runs tonight in the blown save. Giving up two runs was CoCo's M.O.

Which Reds reliever do you think will be the first to go on the DL from today on?

Marshall. He's already been there. I'm not sure there is anything physically wrong with Chapman. All of his issues are at the top of the mountain.

Don't they now have a 7 or 8 day DL for head cases?

Yeah. Should've used it up for those week long spans where Dusty doesn't feel he needs to pitch him.
