Chapman

[klaiggeb]

For my part, We are already not out of april and I have had enough of matt chapman

I did not want him to begin with.Because what I saw was a continued downward trend

He has shown me nothing to say.He's the player he used to be at the plate

And he's compounding the problem by continuing to take fastballs right down the middle

He did it twice today

Like I said we're not out of april and i've already had enough

Keep this up and we might see casey schmitt by the end of june

Same, again, it's still very early, but same.

That would be a sure way to have him opt-IN to 2025.  Money always plays.

I know, and you're right.

But by the end of June, if he's still hitting in the .220s with barely any HRs and Farhan believes we have a contending team, and Casey is doing well, I think the pressure on him and Melvin will be such that Chapman won't play and might be traded.

At least he didn't make this list:

...yet.

Seventh inning, strike 3 on a 93 mile an hour Fast fall right down the middle of the plate

I cannot believe giant management doesn't see this

And they still hit the moron third in the lineup.

I really don't understand

I really don't

[klaiggeb]

I am going to keep beating This dead horse until the proverbial Is cows come home

Or until the moron starts the hit

Which I do not see happening

Set it before I'll say it again He getting the two thirty last year for a reason

And every time I see him at the plate I can see exactly
