Oh if this goes to extra innings Cleveland’s bullpen is going to dominate. ---

And Maddon choosing to use Chapman yesterday looks very bad now. ---

Why the hell is he still in there?? Maddon was pulling pitchers for sneezing wrong…why is he so determined to be right? ---

Maddon has two lights out pitchers on the bench out of the game, Chapman is exhausted and ineffective. What now? Fucking terrible strategy. ---
