Tunes, check out The Joy of Sox blog, esp the stuff on the Yankees.

Some merciless stuff in there, for sure.

He's rarely solving the 9th inning without creating baserunning drama. Yes, he's generally solving it, but much too often within an inch of not.

Still throwing 100MPH. He's also 27 for 29 in save opportunities for the year.

He's getting into trouble, I'm guessing his WHIP is up from last year.

You guessed correctly. Chapmans WHIP is up from 0.7 to 1.19. Still very good but not exceptional like last year.

It is, and overall his numbers are slightly off from last year but last year he was absolutely sick. His whip and other numbers are still better than they’ve been in years outside of last year

Not doubting what you’re seeing by the way, but it could just be he set a ridiculous bar last year. They’re obviously still winning with him!

Baseball is weird. How do you sweep the Dodgers away and then lose a series to the A's at home? I suppose the old adage "you will win a 3rd of your games, you will lose a 3rd of your games, what matters is what happens to the other 3rd that matters", rings true.

Whitlock and Chapman ...
Not gonna see that happen very often.
Ahh well, whip the Champs, loose to chumps... welcome to professional sports.

Onto Toronto!

The bats have gone back to early season form.

Yep. Such a weird team. Be great to have their ace around to stop the losing streak.

This ace? Talk about stepping up when it was needed.
