TPM posted:No other choice but to bring in Chapman. You got to do what you got to do at the moment, not tomorrow. Good choice, best part is everyone will be in the game at one point, if close.
This is really great for baseball, or local sports channel has even given up football talk for a few days.
I don't know. With a five run lead, I believe they would have been fine letting Montgomery or Wood go long and save Chapman in case the game actually did get tight. The idea of relying on a couple of your rested starters to fill reliever roles in game seven is risky to me. Maddon may very well be kicking himself come the sixth or seventh innings. However, given how little they've been able to do against Kluber, it may be irrelevant what they have in the bullpen. On another note, I can't help but notice the Indians are +106 right now. That's a real value with Kluber at home. Tells me there's a LOT of Cubs fans.
