As we all know right now is one of the most boring times of the year in sports. Basketball has been long gone, world cup is over, and NFL preseason is pretty much bullshit but it is good just to see the pigskin on the teevee. Which leaves baseball. Now I'm not as much as a baseball hater as some of the other dank gamers, and this year has been pretty exciting for the queen city. (well as exciting as baseball can get. )
So the reds are currently 8 fucking games ahead in first going into our series with the cardinals, the number 2 spot. But what's worth writing about is Aroldis Chapman, the Cuban Missile. This 22 year old cuban defector came into Tuesdays nights game to pitch a perfect inning. I've been waiting all year for this kid to be called up from the minor leagues and I was actually at that game but happened to leave right before he came out. The weekend before he played in the minors he was clocked at a 105 mph fastball. In the game he hit 103. This kid is insane with a 87 mph slider. With 28 games to go until the World Series begins the Cuban Missile might be the one to give this city a much needed trophy.
is it true he doesn't speak English?
