Aroldis Chapman warms up before Wednesday night's game at Coca-Cola Park.I went to the IronPigs game Wednesday night by chance; it was the only night I could make it to the park during this week's homestand with the Louisville Bats. What luck, then, that the Cuban prospect Aroldis Chapman was pitching. No mistake, the long, lanky Chapman was the story. He held the 'Pigs in thrall for six--not that that's so hard to do these days--then left with a blister. He was effectively wild, hitting 98 a couple of times but for the most part hovering around 95. He looked a lot smoother than what I remember from his appearances with the Cuban team. When Chapman left the game, so did I.
