You can't put him in the pen because he takes forever to warm up. Frankly, I think Chapman is in the pen because of a numbers game, namely Bailey is out of options.

I'll say 15 total starts.

No one listened. Now they're paying the price with L's.
=====================================================

which games that the Reds have lost would Chapman have made the difference in?

they scored 1 freakin' run in each of Bailey's 2 losses. are you assuming Chapman would have pitched 2 shutouts?

I don't recall saying that if a pitcher can't throw a full season he doesn't belong in the Major Leagues. Can you copy and paste that comment from me?
=====================================

"This innings limit BS is ridiculous. If someone that young can't endure a full season pitching while Jamie Moyer can pitch until he's 70, he better get the heII out of Dodge."

... it reads as if "Dodge" would be the major leagues
