Message: [QUOTE="IthacaBarrel, post: 1937802, member: 363"] I think Cubs need to hit tonight more than anything and if you watched the Cubs bullpen before Chapman you would see why Maddon went with him. He will throw Chapman tonight for the ninth if need be. They just had to get game 7 and any cost. Kluber and a fresh Miller will be very difficult. I don't blame Maddon one bit, they give up 3-4 runs in the 7th and anything can happen, shut it down, no tomorrow. Chapman can throw 4-6 outs tonight on adrenaline alone, it's not good long term but season is over tonight either way. If Maddon lets the 7th get out of hand, people are asking why he didn't put Chapman in and relied on an inferior bullpen [/QUOTE]
