As you mentioned, likely Miggy and/or Bosio influencing the slider, if not all Chapman. And I do think they had guys up in the 9th, it was game 6 no one was up after Rizzo’s homer. I also read a story that Chapman was pleading to go back out there in the 9th.

I know the end result is wonderful/awesome, but it still freaks me out to think how close it came to slipping away there.

Pulled the same nincompoopery in G6 until Bosio forced his way into his head.

Boy would I love to know if the all the slider gambit was his, Joe’s or Rossy’s

Crazy how close it was to an Indian walk-off.
