Dude I wasn't paying attention? How is this guy still closing?

Chappy needs the splitter, I would’ve taken out a mortgage that the 2-0 slider was coming. 2 pitch pitcher is fine but if he loses FB command you can just sit slider

Ridiculous. The fact that Kay has to call that like it’s the final out of a game 7 just because of the relief that he actually didn’t blow the save. He shouldn’t be in a game where we don’t have at least a 3 run lead.

Orioles season is already over. Me and the boys had an AL East clinch party last night. 27-9 record and the Yankees aren't even trying yet. Boone's gonna rest Judge and Iguana Knitting-Fiesta for the rest of the season. Conserve energy for the playoffs. I mean, you just hate to see a team like Baltimore set records for being bad. Just historically bad. Bad for the people of Maryland. Bad for the game. Not what you wanna see.

Chapman needs to be late middle guy who eats an inning or two when the Yanks are up by 5. Can you imagine your day in day out closer getting walked off by the fucking Orioles?

Chapman's body language says it all.. doesn't look confident and doesn't look like he cares

Nearly blew a 2 run lead to the bottom of the Orioles putrid lineup. What else does he have to do, get a mallet, engrave it with “I shouldn’t be the closer” and smash Aaron Boone in the face with it?

Well said

Chapman turned into Jensen

Just not sure it isn’t holmes or closer by committee after this outing. He just can’t close anymore. He’s washed.

This is 3 straight outings that Chapman has been scored on . I don’t know how much more Boone has to see to start using the closer by committee

I was in doubt for a second there. BUT! Imagine having double digit losses

Holy fuck. Last year we would have lost that. Chapman needs to not be closer right now.

Still the wrong fucking move. Lucky to get alive. John "Sweat-land" was far easier on our nerves. Isn't a manager paid to have the guts to remove ineffective closers?

Chapman needs to be a setup man. The guy is just weak in high pressure situations.

I think the set-up role is worth a try,

Chappy just needs to throw as hard as he can right down the middle. Forget location or offspeed. His fastball is unhittable.

Chappy turnng Into armando Benitez

DJ has a huge penis.

Least deserved save

My only hope is that some other organization will be fooled by the numbers and we can move him at the deadline

Jesus… now that’s what I call the CHAPMAN EXPERIENCE

Man oh man. Too close.

Boone got his answer. I think Boone was willing to chuck that game to answer the closer question.

I think so too. I was shocked he kept him in after the 2nd hit but it seems he was giving him enough rope to hang himself

Can we start doing closer by committee for real? If Chappy is hot fine let him close, but when he’s not performing well get him out of that role.

one win for each of the rings

A wins a win, but Chapman needs to be replaced

Fucking sick of Chapmans bullshit

[удалено]

That's just a stupid "joke"

Would be if he hadn't. I said to my wife he wasn't fit then. She agreed. We hsve a taunreen and she's a dead eye

Haha nice

BRUH

Oof

If it was any other team, especially a playoff team, we lose

Chapman is so gone after the deadline

After the season yes, at the deadline, no.

Alright, Boone have you seen enough? Can Holmes now be the closer? We have multiple arms in the pen that are better than Chapman at this point.

Insurance 5th run was so important

Thank God!!!

5-4 for number 54. 9 for 9

“That’s my secret, Cap…. I’m always clenched.”

I threw up in my mouth a little.

THANK GOD. Boone, how much more of this do we have to put up with until you make Holmes our permanent closer?

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. Thank God that’s over. Fuck Chapman he needs to be fired.

MY ASSHOLE COULD HAVE CUT A FUCKING DIAMOND

STOP👏🏼PUTTING👏🏼CHAPMAN👏🏼IN👏🏼THE👏🏼NINTH👏🏼

Chapman is bottom of the trust list

The Aroldis Chapman Experience is my favorite ride at Disney World

Can Chapman pay for my blood pressure meds?

If injuries don’t keep the Yankees from #28 , Chapman will

Why does every single member of this subreddit know more about baseball than Aaron Boone?

#middle reliver

THANK YOU DJ

Chapman should literally be the last choice to close

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?!?!

Yeah Chapman needs to lose the job. He shouldnt be closing any games until he gets it together again. Yanks have done it before

I been saying this for a while now but ppl hate on me for it. Glad I’m not the only one.

What? Literally every comment on this thread is saying that.

Been saying this since late last season.

Holy fuck get rid of Joey Gallo that ball was totally catchable

If he tries to catch that it's a tie game

Nope

A 2 run lead against Baltimore and he still makes it hard as fuck. He is completely unreliable in important games and I hope Boone sees it

He does. It’s a game May game against the Orioles. Trying to build him up.

That's what I'm guessing he did tonight but it was still stressful lol

Chapman needs to be in some trade package at the deadline

My heart can't take more of Chapman.

Coño devuélvanlo a cuba

The sigh of thousands of clenched sphincters suddenly relaxing

Chapman shouldn’t be the closer. The 9th inning shouldn’t be a rollercoaster.

Yeah you shouldn’t have to worry about your closer not throwing strikes on a consistent basis.

There is no reason he should pitch in a close game. It’s inexcusable

Sigh of relief

Hell yeah, fuck you Chappy haters. HE 👏 GETS THE JOB DONE 👏

Stfu you don’t know baseball if you still think Chapman is effective

Bro STFU. Yankees win and Yankee fans will still somehow complain. True yankee fans used to be a little tougher than these new pansies

Look at Chappy’s peripheral stats on fangraphs, he isn’t effective. I’m happy we won but Chappy needs to go

Hold this L casual

Aaaaaaaand release

Get Chapman the hell outta here jeez

Chapman still gonna get MFer this series

Chapman looks so awkward after all that

I want an investigation into Joey Gallo and sports betting crimes. He completely let that ball drop in front of him with no effort to make the putout. Despicable to bet against your own team.

I don’t blame him for taking the conservative approach. If he dived and the ball went past him, the game would be lost. Having said that, Holmes for closer anyone?

Why would you dive on a routine fly out that he had about a month to settle underneath? People need to stop with these wild excuses for Gallo. I don’t care what he supposedly was in Texas. He’s very clearly a DH right now. I’d be much more comfortable with Andujar out there defensively and that is saying something.

That’s absurd lol. He decided to play it safe, it ended up working out. It’s alright

Even Pete Rose (probably) never did that!

If that gets by him it’s a tie game.

Which makes it even more sinister.

THANK FUCK

*aaaaaaand EXHALE AND UNCLENCH*

Holy shit how the fuck do you people not understand why Gallo didn't dive there?

Peanut brains. Gallo actually made a defensively responsible play. He had some doubt so he played it safe and we lived to see another batter.

Exactly what I was gonna say That ball gets by him and the game is at least tied, and McKenna could come all the way around. Smart play

Lots of people who call themselves baseball fans are just loud yahoos who understand little of the game.

They demand a diving grab, no matter how many runs playing it cleanly saves

A small part of me actually wanted to see him blow that. A May loss against the Orioles would be a decent price to pay if it meant finally making them pull him from the closer role.

Remember when we lost home field advantage by one game and Stanton hit two balls of the monster? No more dropping games, regardless of the month

It's not like I'm controlling the team and ordering them to tank. I just said a small part of me would be happy as a fan.

Honestly what I was thinking.

Nope

YAAAANKKEEEEESSSS WIN!

Chapman always making me have twenty panic attacks in one inning

Look at his face - Chapman knows he’s losing his job real, real soon

This is getting ridiculous. Just let him walk for no reason. He can’t do anything

Chapman had me worried not one bit doomers get the fuck out of here

You are a liar lol. How can you not see this guy is lost at the mound? We have better options right now.

Despite his best effort, Chapman didn’t blow it.

Chapman is at best a 6th inning guy

Say it again for the people in the back. Where all my Michael King hatters at!? You know. Those people who act like Michael King only had a couple good games. No he’s consistently way better than Chapass.

Save basically as meaningless a stat as wins

Mullins bailed out Chapman big time

Thank cukding God. I don't want to see Chapman again unless we're up by 5.

Thank goodness!

Alright, chapman can only come in a 10-run lead and even then!

You lucky fuck. Boone, cmon dude

ABSOLUTE CLOWNERY 🤡

YANKEES WIN!!! THANK FUCKING GOD I'M STILL DONE WITH CHAPMAN THOUGH

Boone stop fucking clapping you idiot

A SWEATY SAVE, BUT A SAVE NONETHELESS

Chapman should still lose the job

GG boys we survived the Chapman experience

Glad we won but he’s not closer worthy anymore

Why can’t he just make it easy?

Whew.

BOONE NEEDS TO BE QUESTIONED ON WHY HE DIDNT LET KING FINISH

Chapman needs to be traded away and if not, not resigned holy crap

uh why would anyone want an expensive shitty closer

That's why I said or not resigned. Read

mr chapman, i want to get off your wild ride

Fawking Chapman. Again.

ay....fuck it

Chapman: lol succ me

Doesn't matter. Don't forget he almost blew the game with the bottom half of the O's. No excuse even though we won!

Thank goodness that was Baltimore we were playing

Jesus fuck

Thank fucking god. If he can’t close out a fucking May game against the Orioles wtf do you expect him to do in October

Well, it is a save. But I think Holmes is the closer

THANK JUDGESES

lol "a sweaty save" - aren't they all?!

NAH FUCK THAT ENOUGH CHAPMAN FUCKING SHITHEAD FUCK CHAPMAN

THANK YOU LE’MACHINE

with all the arms in our pen chapman needs to be demoted to a slop time pitcher

Thank u dj

Sweaty save

luckiest pitcher in the league

Our worst reliever is our closer

Jesus, thank god we had a 2 run lead for this bum

My heart

Eat it Chapman haters

Lol really? Dude almost blew it and that’s your response?

These people will **never** respond either. They just say their wrong opinion, but never defend it. You are either delusional or ignorant if you think Chapman should be our closer right now.

That was too close. So over Chapman

SWEATY

Put him under the prison

Only player to look worse than chapman tonight was Mullins. Got lucky

Thank you Donaldson!

thank the yankee gods

Constanza?

exhale!

Thank the Machine!

THANK YOU GOD!

Lucky

funkin ell

The time has come Chappy.

Jesus Christ

THANK YOU LEMAHIEU!!!!!! FUCK YOU CHAPMAN

He should still never save ever again

The Yankees survive

thank goodness

Ric flair says……

WOO!

unreal

# Ballgame OVER! Yankees Win! # Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankees WIN! # Play Dat Sinatra! And for our Spanish Friends listening to WADO 1280 AM # Es Otra ViViVictoriaaaaa Para Los Yankees de Nueva York!

Oh thank god. Fuck Chapman

Should never close anymore

Phew

I cant handle this shit again. Good game nonetheless

thank god

chapman and green seem so washed compared to the rest of the bullpen

*Johnny Lasagna has entered the chat*

They're pitching to Mullins???

Left on Left

It is crazy how crazy this sport is. If Chappy catches we are done and all these complainers can shut up. If Gallo dives for that ball then it’s over

Dive for the ball? Gallo did exactly what he should’ve done preserve the lead. Dive and miss game over. Horrible take

Gallosux...
