    I miss the days when the opposing starter’s ERA would be a couple runs higher after the game, instead of lower.

    dmick89:
    I’m kind of happy that Chapman gets his first appearance out of the way in a low leverage spot.

    I’m pretty much of the opinion that if he’s given any kind of lead, it’s automatically a low leverage spot.

    Only hit 103mph twice.

    Dear Chapman,

    Just because it’s not a save situation doesn’t mean you can slack off. It’s almost like you were raised a communist.

    I know nobody around here wants a Chapman extension for a handful of reasons, perhaps one or two of them even baseball-related, but I have to say after watching this one inning, I can envision a scenario where I could be okay with it.

    That’s not true. I was going to write about a possible extension, but I chose to wait for any of the non-baseball emotions that I might have to die down. I can’t say for sure without looking more into it, but I think I come down on the side of trying to extend him.

    I was thinking more of all-of-Cubdom when I meant “around here,” but that’s my bad not being clear. I’m simultaneously lurking on BN.
