On September 1st, Aroldis Chapman was suspended three games for throwing a pitch near the head of Mike Brosseau. Chapman immediately appealed the suspension, and we’ve been waiting three weeks for some news.
Now, Jon Heyman is reporting that the case will be delayed until 2021 due to the “availability of a witness.”
I have so many questions here. Who is the witness? (ballpark was empty.) Why is there even a witness involved? Why is this taking so long?
In terms of figuring out what actually happened, I think we can narrow this down to a couple of guys from the old neighborhood.
