Because Cubs been LOSING since the 1900s and there has never been more than 1,000 fans show up at their stadium. All those Cubs fans are new or bandwagoners.
I see people talk about how Chapman almost blew the WS for us but in the end, this was one of the best trades in MLB history. We got him to get us to the World Series and win, and at the end of it that’s exactly what he did. He blew the lead because Maddon used him terribly throughout the series and he shouldn’t have even been pitching in the 8th to begin with. Looking back at highlights throughout the second half and literally every other appearance by Chapman in the postseason proves he was near perfect. Possibly the greatest trade in Cubs history even if we didn’t keep him
I'm a cubs fan, but it's amazing to me how the cubs gave up a lot to pick up a rental, who returned to the team the trades him after less than a season, and yet both teams won.
Agreed. He was definitely a key factor in the series and also during the regular season. As a Cubs fan we gave up a lot for him but would I do it again? Absolutely.
I remember being at this game and the anticipation was building for Chapman to debut days before this game. When the fans saw him go down to the bullpen everyone got on their feet and started cheering. Then the cubs extend their lead to 7 runs and it seemed like they wouldn’t put him in. Joe Maddon said screw it and put him in, and holy crap that stadium was rocking when he jogged to the mound! Moment I’ll never forget!
paul levrone ur right. I was only saying the only Cub to even come that close was Kyle who threw 98-100 consistently. Chapman's throws 100-104 on average.
Hey. I got to see a World Series win and be part of the downtown celebration. Thankful i got to see it and Chapman had alot to do with it. Thanks Chapy.
No point in us crying , there's no point in having that closer if we don't make the playoffs. Thanks for the prospects tho , y'all years of suck and grabbing prospects to give us is appreciated
All the Cubs gave up was one prospect of any real value. And he is still several years away from anyone knowing if he's actually going to be any good, and only plays one position that the Cubs were already backlogged at. Then they got Warren back, and two other crap shoot middling prospects that were never on anybody's radar.
plus we get prospects and chapman can come back , tell us who got the better deal... tryna down play the prospects, fuck outta here with that, those prospects couldve gotten flipped for any other great player but you guys took chapman so...
BENJIS All they were getting for what they gave up was a rental player. Nobody is giving up a legit player with contract control for one prospect that hasn't even made it out of single A ball yet.
I used to go to a lot of reds games to watch him pitch. He pitched 104 when I was at a game the crowd was wild. But since he went to the cubs I can't watch him pitch live anymore
Before the boogie man goes to sleep, he checks under his bead for Chapman. Aroldis Chapmen once visited the Virgin Islands….since then, they’re just called The Islands. Chapman’s turds have 24” biceps. When Chapman does push-ups, he doesn’t push his body up, he pushes the earth down.
Because cubs fans are desperate! I personally would love to see the cubs win this year. 108 years is long enough, the team and fans deserve to experience a title! With love from a Yankees fan.
Im just wondering... Wish someone may answer me this question... At 1:17 and 3:10, Chapman's left leg goes to the right after the pitch. However, sometimes, for example 0:56, the left leg goes to the front. Is there any reason for that? Does it make the ball faster? Why is it different? There must be some difference in the body balance right?? It would be nice if someone can tell me why.
To me he looks like he's about to throw a curve when he throws a fast ball instead.. Or sometimes the other way around .. I think he does that to fool the batter
Ironic his debut as a Cub was against the White Sox. He was on the Yankees earlier in the year Chapman was suspended earlier that season he missed a month and his Debut was against the White Sox a month after his suspension was over one of the only few Yankees games I watched that year in 2016.
@@SneakySnacks thats stupit!!!of course people are going to say they cheated!!!you cant cheat on 100mph fast ball or any pitch whether you know whats coming...you dont know where the ball will end up..it could of ended up over his head or in the dirt.
Theo Epstein didn’t want to pay him the 80 million DollarsAfter the season So the Yankees did! And Gleybor Torres Is a star for the Yankees! But we have to make the trade so we could win the World Series
That was incredible. I've never seen a crowd in their feet the entire bottom of the ninth in a 7 run game before.
Especially at a Cubs gam.
Because Cubs been LOSING since the 1900s and there has never been more than 1,000 fans show up at their stadium. All those Cubs fans are new or bandwagoners.
False, the Cubs have been pulling in huge crowds win or lose since the 90s at least. Crowds are ALWAYS 35,000+.
Out of those 35,000, I wonder how many are actual fans and how many are tourists who are there for the beer and nightlife
Robert Dunn
BRUH
it's a little know fact that Chapman can't travel via airplane to games because you aren't allowed to bring canons on board
hahaha
subjectsigma925 lol
subjectsigma925 can't bring cocaine either meaning no Mets players...cause they all white and finneeeee
Lol

Everything went right this season. Everything. And I'll never ever forget it, and I will always be thankful. Go Cubs.
8:41 I suddenly shifted my focus....lol!!
As a Yankees fan,the Cubs don't win a WS without Chapman. The Cubs had a good team,but Chapman was the x-factor, in game 7 of the 2016 WS.
He was the key to winning game 5 or 6 i don't remember where he pitched 3 innings so yeah they don't win without him.
He was tired by game 7, and gave up the game tying HR. But the rest of your statement is true. Go Cubs Go
I'm a cubs fan, but it's amazing to me how the cubs gave up a lot to pick up a rental, who returned to the team the trades him after less than a season, and yet both teams won.
@@chadanding8692 chapman also pitched a scoreless 9th in game 7, so the whole statement was true.
Agreed. He was definitely a key factor in the series and also during the regular season. As a Cubs fan we gave up a lot for him but would I do it again? Absolutely.
Catcher ran to put his hand on ice after the game
Chapman is a beast, hails from Holguin in Cuba 🇨🇺.. the Cuban missile
That was fun to relive (over and over). Thanks, dude!
Go Cubs!

2:14 When you see a 91 MPH in a game with a regular pitcher, it looks fast. But when you see Chapman throw it, it looks SO slow
Can't recall the last cubs pitcher with this much velocity! going to be fun to watch him the rest of the year. go cubs!
Kyle Farnsworth back in the day threw 98-100
+Marty McFly not 100-106 tho
paul levrone ur right. I was only saying the only Cub to even come that close was Kyle who threw 98-100 consistently. Chapman's throws 100-104 on average.
Marty McFly yeah I don't even like the cubs .. honestly hate how good they've gotten but can't lie that they have all the talent right now
Can't recall the last PITCHER with this much velocity! On any team!
this guy is a showman. :) I love him.
Yanks made arguably one of the best trades in recent history
Love the slo mo pitch replays❤
great job with this posting...thanks!

Thankful i got to see it and Chapman had alot to do with it. Thanks Chapy.
The Cuban missile 🇨🇺🇨🇺❤️❤️❤️proud of you babyyy!!!
I remember being at this game, it was awesome seeing him step on the mound for the Cubs
How fast does a 103 mph fastball look in person ?
I used to LIKE Aroldis Chapman, but now I *LOVE* him - he made his 2016 Cubs debut while playing "Wake Up" by Rage Against The Machine!
very proud of Aroldis Chapman.
good ole rage against the machine in the beginning
for every 100 mph pitch there is a yankees fan crying
Tbh we don't care lol thanks for gleyber
No point in us crying , there's no point in having that closer if we don't make the playoffs. Thanks for the prospects tho , y'all years of suck and grabbing prospects to give us is appreciated

Thx for posting. High Speed Pitching. Lol
Chapman is that one pitcher that the other team doesn't want to face
love my cubs
It s an amazing team due to his fans, they are spectacular!
Up by 7 n crowd on their feet , i have never seen that before for a closer
I wish you were still on the Cubs
Wooooo ... well done Chap
gotta love that heat!
Chapman first pitch just lit me up 101. 😀
I am not a cubs fan but I love the song they play at the end when the cubs win
역시 지구 최강 마무리 투수구나...
I used to go to a lot of reds games to watch him pitch. He pitched 104 when I was at a game the crowd was wild. But since he went to the cubs I can't watch him pitch live anymore
great post
if he was on the cubs right now they would have the best team EVER
?
Nvm
El mejor de por vida del .Universo, Bendiciones para ud,100mphy 103 mph,el ultimo bateador,7:37PM, 10:1/2018/,Raleigh,NC.
GOAT!!!!!
Chapman好帥
He is crazy
el mejor pitcher
Kerry Wood threw 96-97 mph and I thought that was fast. This guy does 103, Goodness Gracious!
He holds the record 105
Aroldis Chapman makes a 96 mph fastball seem slow.
he hit 100 one time when he turned into a closer, but generally he'd only hit 98 tops.
Jude Law LOL l think you really wrong
Funny how we got him back
VERY COOL...GREAT CALL,NO CANNONS ON BOARD!
Tremenda recta la de chapman
l love champán
Live bear Cincy was there they day he hit 106.Sounded like a rifle shot .That day he hit 104,104,103,104,103,105,106
arodis chapman_the missile cubano my idolo
He is good
Sad to see him go, but made sense in every way. Yankees needed to rebuild and they got a lot for him.
They got a rental player
The single biggest reason the Cubs won the world series in 2016...he was dominant, absolutely filthy!
that control :o
So impressive! Unfortunate that the strike zone was so inconsistent
Umpires have their own strikezones lol
Catcher was doing him no favors with that low stance, not very easy to move and frame.
BEST CLOSER EVER,HE IS A FREEK ,LIKE TIMMY

este tipo es talentalentoso en el beisbol como lo hace
I wish he was still on the reds
yes I am a reds fan
thanks for Gleybor Torres
i was there, live in chicago !!!
It’s just crazy how forgetful it is to realize how good Chapman was with the cubs
I'd love to have him back but he seems happy with the Yankees
When he was young with Reds he would 100-104 pitch after pitch.Shame my Reds couldn't put it together while he was there
He Cham was he
Henry Roengardner...lol!!
Henry Rosenbager!!
The ball was going so fast on the last pitch that the ump couldn't even see the ball
Why is everyone freaking out like we haven't seen him before? Lol he's on the Cubs now, big whoop..
Stfu lol
Because cubs fans are desperate! I personally would love to see the cubs win this year. 108 years is long enough, the team and fans deserve to experience a title! With love from a Yankees fan.
+efbeenie you're a true baseball fan. much respect
When this man pitches he hits the fast forward button. That's why it's so fast
they should play wild thing from major leagues
El megor
hey, i was there.
Luckyyy
All those fair weather Cubbies coming out of the woods lol

man we should've kept him. so we don't have to live with Kimbrel now
Man was asking for way too much personally, he is an amazing closer, no doubt. But his asking price was insane.
Good year 4 a TIGER. W/S!! Kevin l HENSLEY
This aged poorly
@@jakobwedel3168 I'm glad it does😁
Baez at the end about the slam.
Got it pretty hard didn't ya?
Yes I did lol.
"GO CUBS"
As a Nats fan I will politely tell you to get out
+AJ Hall (AJHALLOFFICIAL) why are you looking at the cubs first of you fucken tool bag!!
+afavela331 T-BONE because of chapman
Catcher had a hard time.
Because he was throwing pitches high and away when the call was low and in. That's not easy to handle with a 90mph fastball, let alone 100+.
It was Montero lol
Reid Sjaaheim
No shit
I would be scared shitless if I was the umpire
Ironic his debut as a Cub was against the White Sox. He was on the Yankees earlier in the year Chapman was suspended earlier that season he missed a month and his Debut was against the White Sox a month after his suspension was over one of the only few Yankees games I watched that year in 2016.

Isn't Abreu also a Cuban refugee?
Wow. Some coincidence.
The Yankees are my favorite team and I am so mad that they traded them
we just need a few years, we got some amazing prospects for miller , beltran, and chapman
All good now XD
Gleyber good :)
He's lost some velocity on his fastball
Damn 7 run lead Cubbies put in Chapman😂 not taking any chances
92 mph ... SLIDER !
Javier Báez The Best
I'll take Bruce Sutter back in the day over anybody.his split finger pitch was dominating.
Altuve took him deep in the playoffs...and he just stood there just like he did at the end...lol
Yeah because he couldn't believe how he got to the pitch as if he knew it was going to be thrown. Oh wait he did they cheated.
@@SneakySnacks thats stupit!!!of course people are going to say they cheated!!!you cant cheat on 100mph fast ball or any pitch whether you know whats coming...you dont know where the ball will end up..it could of ended up over his head or in the dirt.
0:50 cuban vs Cuban
Yankees should have keep him
no one seems to come close to clemens and randy johnson consistently
that first slider he threw was sick
Pop.
COMO DECIA YIKI.EXTRAIS TIRANDOLE.
I still don’t know why we didn’t get him back.... But we have Kimbrel now...
Theo Epstein didn’t want to pay him the 80 million DollarsAfter the season So the Yankees did! And Gleybor Torres Is a star for the Yankees! But we have to make the trade so we could win the World Series
US NAVY. Cuba, America, Carolina, Florida, Egyptian King TUT
Change my pitch up.
I can't help think that he looks just like Mariano Rivera
As far as the way he wears his uniform and cap, he looks clean cut like Rivera. I don't think Rivera was known for being 100+mph pitch guy tho.
Rivera was a damn good closer though
***** Mariano is great for sure. I love Chapman and hope we keep him, but I think they're different pitchers as far as their stuff.
mo can't pitch 100 mph but he got a devastating cutter that made him the greatest closer of all time.
Didn't The DJ for the Cubs get fired for playing smack My b**** up as his walk up song?
was zobrist in the outfield
yee bruh
