theeagleman5 Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 CC came in during the 9th last night to bail the Iron Pigs out of trouble vs. Louisville but they lost 8-7....Chance's scoreless 1/3 of an inning drops his ERA to 3.99 at the AAA level....

theeagleman5 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 Chance got bombed last night vs. Louisville...he came on in relief for 3 innings and gave up 6 runs on 6 hits...his ERA balloons to 5.29.....the Iron Pigs actually came back and won 8-7 but this was not a good night for our boy Chappy....

theeagleman5 Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 Not so good news....that 6 run shellacking that Chance took the other night didn't help his cause....Chapman has been demoted back the the AA Reading Phillies.....about the only good thing is that TheEagleman might be able to see him pitch when the Phillies come to Trenton next month to play the Yankees AA Affiliate....hopefully, Chappy can get things turned around and get back to AAA next season... :'( :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 Chance made his first appearance since coming back to AA in last night's 2-1 loss vs. New Britain....he threw a scoreless inning to keep his ERA at Reading at 0.00 in 4 appearances....hopefully, Chappy can get his confidence back while in Reading and move back to AAA next season.....TheEagleman has tickets to see the Reading Phillies when they come to Trenton on 7/17....maybe we will get an opportunity to see Chance pitch....

theeagleman5 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Two more scoreless innings for Chapman on Monday night in a 5-4 Phillies loss to the Erie Seawolves....Chance gave up 2 hits and had 2 Ks....so his ERA at AA Reading remains 0.00 in 6 appearances this season.....

theeagleman5 Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 Chapman was put on the DL last week....not sure why but he hasn't pitched in over a week.....Chance was also on the shelf for about a month last season and never really got things turned around after that....TheEagleman was hoping he was on the right road back in May when Chappy got promoted to AAA but it didn't work out....not sure what's going to happen next....

theeagleman5 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 Chance is off the DL....activated yesterday but I don't think he's been in a game yet unless he pitched in tonight's 13-2 win at Trenton....TheEagleman will be in attendence at tomorrow's Reading-Trenton game and hope to see Chapman in action....the teams have played seven times in the past 10 days with the Phillies winning 5 of those 7....

theeagleman5 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 Chance didn't get into the game today at Trenton....still haven' had an opportunity to see our boy pitch.....geez.....it was pretty hot out there....about 90 degrees....Reading hung on to win 4-3 and is in 3rd place 5 games out of first...

theeagleman5 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Chance has been back on the active roster for about 9 days no and still no action....not sure what's going on...you would thing the manager (former major league catcher Mark Parent) would at least let Chappy get in an inning or work here or there....especially today when it was hot and Reading lost by 10-1 to Binghamton....

theeagleman5 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 Chapman is back on the DL or he never came off...whatever, he's not on the Reading active roster at this time....too bad because the Phillies included one of the top bullpen guys from Reading in the Hunter Pence deal with Houston last night....this would have given Chance a shot at some innings....but he's not healthy.....ugh!....

theeagleman5 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Chance has been pitching with the Phillies Class A affiliate Clearwater(FL)Threshers for the past few days....has two appearances(2 inn)and given up a pair of runs and 3 hits....this is probably a rehab thing but at this late point in the season it's unlikely he goes back to AA Reading unless there are injuries....not a good season for Chapman....I wonder what his future is with the organization after four years and at the age of 27....

theeagleman5 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 Chance pitched a scoreless inning for Clearwater last night....looks like he's likely to finish the season at the Class A level..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 Chance took the loss Wednesday night on an unearned run....then turned around and got a win on Friday night....Chapman is 1-1 with a 6.23 ERA in 5 appearances at high A Clearwater over the past 10 days....

theeagleman5 Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Chance has had two scoreless outings this week including a 2 inning 4 strikeout effort tonight....his ERA at Clearwater has dropped to 3.68 in 7 games since returning from his injury....

theeagleman5 Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Yesterday Chance was promoted to AAA Lehigh Valley just in time for the final game of the regular season today....if the Iron Pigs win, they are in the International League playoffs....Chappy could get some post season action...he pitched pretty well over the last week in his rehab stint at A ball Clearwater....

Bogus Smith Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Yesterday Chance was promoted to AAA Lehigh Valley just in time for the final game of the regular season today....if the Iron Pigs win, they are in the International League playoffs....Chappy could get some post season action...he pitched pretty well over the last week in his rehab stint at A ball Clearwater.... I wouldn't be surprised to see Chance in the game today and, if they win, actively in the playoffs. Although winning is great for the franchise, the Phillies having to be close to making a final evaluation on a young man and his future benefit to the organization.

theeagleman5 Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Lehigh Valley moved into the International League finals with a 3 game sweep of the Pawtucket Red Sox over the weekend but our boy Chance Chapman didn't play....he still must have had a nice view from the bullpen.....

theeagleman5 Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Lehigh Valley was eliminated by Columbus 3 games to 1 in the International League Finals last night....Chance pitched in game 3 (a 6-3 loss) but walked three and failed to retire any batters....not a good season finale for Chapman....we will have to wait and see what the future holds in the Philadelphia organization for Chappy during the winter... ..........of course, the major league Phillies won their 5th consecutive NL East crown tonight beating St. Louis, 9-2....now it's off to the NL playoffs with the best starting pitching staff in baseball.....
