something similar could be said about Chapman he started with 12 scoreless outings.
5 in a row really really bad ones. Got injured.
Then mixed bag after coming back. Up until he figured something out. Scoreless last 8 outings.
Clay got the ball because he was hot and Chapman wasn’t plus injury, now the opposite is true
The majority of Clay’s huge run was high leverage 7&8. Continuing on last year success
In context since he became the legit closer where Chapman came back and his job was gone on July 2nd (I don’t disagree with that decision)…. Clay has 13 games, 3 saves 3 blown saves. 12IP, 11H, 9BB, 10ER, 13Ks. A 1.75WHIP for a closer is a sign something isn’t working because he’s getting hit and can’t locate either and until it is, has to go back to the old role.
Chapman’s worst 13 outings stretch was May 11 to July 22 with an injury in between.
10IP, 13H, 10BB, 13ER, 13Ks. 2.3WHIP
Since then 8IP in 8 outings. 3H, 1BB, 8Ks
What Clay is going through right now is pretty close to Chapman’s worst stretch this year.
