It’s hard to say what we’re getting some games. On one end, Chapman has been stellar this year. He made the All-Star team and deservedly so. Even during his early glorious stretches, when he was shaky, we could always say: “Well Chappie will work his magic and get out of it.” Lately though, with blown saves against Tampa and now the Twins – two teams we can potentially meet in the playoffs – it is alarming. He did, however, close the game on Wednesday after initially looking shaky again.
And look. I’m Mr. Optimist and an elite level Yankee propagandist – the Bill O’Reilly of Yankee propaganda if you will.
